How to connect Facebook to Make.com

Before building scenarios, you must connect your Facebook account or business assets to make.com. The process is guided and only needs to be completed once for each asset.

1. Log in to your make.com account and open the dashboard.

2. Create a new scenario and add a Facebook module, such as Facebook Pages "Create a Post" or Facebook Lead Ads "Watch Leads".

3. In the module settings, click Add next to the connection field.

4. Approve the requested permissions in the Facebook dialog so make.com can access your pages, groups, or ads.

5. Save the connection, then test the module to confirm everything works.

Once the connection is authorized, you can reuse it across multiple scenarios that rely on make.com for automation.

Build a basic Facebook posting scenario in Make.com

This example shows how to build a simple workflow that publishes Facebook page posts from another data source using make.com.

Step 1: Plan the posting workflow

Define what you want to automate. For a basic posting flow, decide:

• Where new posts will come from (e.g., Google Sheets, Airtable, RSS)
• How often the scenario should run
• What content elements each post will include (text, links, images)

Clear requirements help you configure the right modules within make.com.

Step 2: Create a new scenario in Make.com

1. Click Create a new scenario in the make.com dashboard.

2. Add your source module (for example, Google Sheets "Watch Rows").

3. Choose how new data should trigger the scenario (on schedule or on change).

At this stage, you have a trigger that supplies the content you want to post to Facebook.

Step 3: Add the Facebook Pages module

1. Click the plus icon and search for Facebook Pages in make.com.

2. Select the Create a Post action module.

3. Pick your existing Facebook connection or create a new one.

4. Choose the target page from the dropdown list.

5. Map data from the trigger (for example, post text, URL, or image) into the module fields.

This mapping determines what each Facebook post will look like when created via make.com.

Step 4: Test and schedule the scenario

1. Use the Run once button to test the scenario.

2. Check your Facebook page to verify that the post appears correctly.

3. Adjust the content mapping or formatting if needed.

4. Set the scenario to On and choose a schedule or event-based trigger.

After activation, make.com will automatically publish posts whenever the trigger conditions are met.

Automating Facebook Lead Ads with Make.com

Capturing and acting on new leads quickly is one of the strongest use cases for make.com.

Design a lead processing flow

Start by defining what should happen after a Facebook Lead Ads form is submitted:

• Create or update a contact in your CRM
• Send a confirmation email to the lead
• Notify your sales team in Slack, Microsoft Teams, or email
• Log the lead in a spreadsheet for reporting

Each of these actions can be implemented as modules in a single make.com scenario.

Configure the Lead Ads trigger in Make.com

1. Create a new scenario and add the Facebook Lead Ads "Watch Leads" module.

2. Select the connected Facebook ad account and the desired lead form.

3. Set up any filters to only capture specific leads if required.

4. Run a test to pull in recent leads and inspect the available data fields.

This step turns make.com into the central hub that reacts the moment a new lead arrives.

Add CRM and notification actions

After the trigger, you can chain multiple actions. For example:

• Add a CRM "Create/Update Contact" module and map lead information.
• Add an Email or Mailer module to send welcome messages.
• Add a Slack or Teams module to alert your sales team.
• Add a Google Sheets or database module to store the lead.

By chaining actions, you create a complete lead funnel managed by make.com.
