How to sync Facebook Lead Ads with Fit Pro Tracker

Integrate your Facebook Lead Ads with Fit Pro Tracker to automatically push the new leads into your CRM for automated follow-up and lead nurturing.

You will need the following accounts to complete this setup.

  1. Facebook Ads account

  2. Fit Pro Tracker account (https://fitprotracker.com)

  3. Zapier account. This system is used to tie two or more systems together. It acts as the middle man taking data in and pushing data to other systems. (https://zapier.com) You may use a free Zapier account to set up the integration between Facebook and Fit Pro Tracker.

Facebook Ads Setup

The First step is to create your Facebook Lead Ad Form. The ad must contain a form as this is how we will capture the lead information and Zap it into Fit Pro Tracker to create a new lead contact. Once a potential lead sees an Ad and clicks a button indicating they are interested in your offer, they will be taken to the Facebook form which is generally prefilled, making it easy for people to submit or opt in with their personal information to your Lead Ad.

When creating your Facebook Lead Form, Make sure to include the following fields in the Questions section for collecting data:

​

  • First Name

  • Last Name

  • Phone Number

  • Email

Additional documentation at the Facebook site. Create Lead Ads on Facebook
