How to transfer leads from Facebook to Zoho CRM

Facebook has fast become one of the go-to marketing and ads resources for budding brands wishing to work on their lead generation efforts.

With over 66% of the UK population using Facebook on a regular basis, it’s one of those thriving social media platforms you don’t want to miss out on when it comes to marketing your business.

While starting a Facebook Leads Ads Campaign is simple, it’s vital that you find the ideal way to track exactly how your campaigns are performing. By transferring Lead Ads data from Facebook to Zoho, you’ll be able to measure how successful your ads are - all in one place.

So, how can you transfer leads from Facebook to Zoho CRM? Here’s our guide to Facebook Zoho integration, and the easiest way to manage it all.


How to transfer leads from Facebook to Zoho CRM

The classic method to transfer leads from Facebook to Zoho CRM does take some time. Here we’ve outlined the main steps below.


  • To follow this guide, you need to be the Admin on your Facebook Ads account, as well as the Portal Brand Admin on your brand’s Zoho Social account.
  • In Zoho Social CRM, select the Posts tab on the top navigation bar. Then click ‘Facebook Lead Gen’ on the left.
  • You can then choose ‘Set Up Lead Ads Now’ to connect your Facebook Ads account.
  • You might have already set up Zoho Social integration between your accounts. If so, you can review your automatic field mapping settings before clicking Proceed.
  • If you are entirely new to integrating socials with Zoho, you now have to connect your Zoho account with Zoho Social. This allows Zoho to feed data from your social media ads (and the leads generated through them) into Zoho CRM.
  • Once you have connected your accounts and enabled Zoho Facebook integration using Zoho Social, you can view and monitor the success of your Facebook Ads directly from Zoho CRM.
  • Note that only the leads from the past 3 months will be sent into Zoho when you first enable integration. To see more backdated leads, select ‘Add all Leads into CRM’ to send that further data into Zoho.
  • Now, the integration between your Facebook and Zoho Social accounts is complete - and all future data will automatically be transferred to your Zoho CRM.
