  1. 1

    Add the Facebook Lead Ads Trigger node

    Start with a Facebook Lead Ads Trigger node — connect your Facebook account via OAuth, then set Page to the Facebook Page running your ads and Form to the specific lead form you want to capture. This fires the workflow the moment a new lead arrives.

  2. 2

    Map the fields with a Set node

    Add a Set node after the trigger to shape the data cleanly. Create fields: full_name to {{ $json.field_data.find(f => f.name === 'full_name')?.values[0] }}, email to {{ $json.field_data.find(f => f.name === 'email')?.values[0] }}, and phone to {{ $json.field_data.find(f => f.name === 'phone_number')?.values[0] }}. This turns the raw payload into tidy values your destination can use.

  3. 3

    Send it to Google Sheets

    Add a Google Sheets node set to operation Append Row. Connect your Google account, choose the Spreadsheet and Sheet (e.g. a Log tab), and map each field from the Set node to a matching column. Make sure row 1 of your sheet has headers with the same names.

  4. 4

    Activate and test

    Click Activate in the top-right of the canvas. Trigger a test lead in Facebook Lead Ads, then confirm it appears in Google Sheets. Once it works, you're done — every new lead now flows through automatically.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any coding skills to set this up?

No. n8n is a visual, drag-and-drop tool. You connect your Facebook Lead Ads and Google Sheets accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.

Can I send each lead to more than one place at once?

Absolutely. Branch the workflow after the Set node: connect it to multiple destination nodes so the same lead lands in Google Sheets and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
