How to connect Facebook Lead Ads to Mailchimp without using Zapier

Facebook Lead Ads are an effective type of advertising on Facebook that lets you collect the contact details of people who show an interest in your organisation.

You can gather contact details, such as email address, first name and last name, when the user fills out a short form directly on Facebook itself.

Plus, Facebook will pre-fill the forms with contact details it has about the user, which typically includes their name, email address and mobile number, making it even easier for someone to send you their details.

By reducing the steps needed to fill out the form and keeping the user on Facebook, conversion rates tend to be higher than if you were sending those people to your website to register their interest.

If you have set up Facebook Lead Gen ads, rather than downloading the lead contact details into a csv or Excel doc, you can integrate Facebook’s Lead Gen Ads directly with Mailchimp and other CRMs or email marketing software by following the steps below.
