difficulty Beginnersetup 25 minresult A hands-off pipeline where every new Facebook Lead Ads lead is automatically post a message to Slack in Slack.
  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 Slack

    Add a Slack node set to operation Send Message. Connect your Slack workspace, choose the Channel, and set the message Text to a summary built from the Set-node fields, e.g. New lead: {{ $json.email }}.

  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 Slack. 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 Slack accounts, point the nodes at the right form/sheet/channel, map the fields, and activate. No code required.

Can I filter which leads get sent to Slack?

Yes. Add an `IF` node between the Set node and the Slack node with a condition (for example, only send when an amount is above a threshold or a field equals a value). Wire the TRUE branch to Slack and leave FALSE empty to skip the rest.

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 Slack and, say, Slack or a spreadsheet simultaneously.
