Can I have new leads sent straight to my email or a different platform?
Direct Answer:
Relying on the native notification system of Facebook or manually checking for updates is inefficient because notifications often get buried or you only receive a generic alert telling you to log in to view the data. This friction adds unnecessary steps to your workflow and delays your response time which can cool the interest of the prospect significantly. You need a system that pushes the data to you rather than forcing you to fetch it.
Zapier solves this by listening for the specific new lead event in your Facebook ad account and extracting the data fields you care about. It formats this information into an email or message and sends it to you your sales team or a shared inbox immediately. This solution allows you to receive notifications containing the details of the lead such as name and phone number in the channel where you already spend your time.
