Question

How do I import Facebook Ad lead data into BotPress to use as variables in my chatbot flow?

I’m looking for clarification on how to make this integration work ⬇️

 

New lead in FB Lead Ads

⬇️

Lead data (Name, Phone number) gets transferred to BotPress in the form of ready to use variables within BotPress
⬇️

BotPress bot contacts lead at WhatsApp using the phone number and name from FB

 

So:

Variable in BotPress = Info from FaceBook

workflow.name = Name of lead form FB

workflow.phone = Phone number of lead from FB

 

I just need help on how to transfer the FB Ad lead info to BotPress so that I could use that info in BotPress bot flow in the form of variables

Hi @RissheG 

Help article from BotPress: https://botpress.com/docs/cloud/channels/zapier/

For us to have more context, post screenshots with how your Zap steps are outlined and configured in EDIT mode.


STEPS

  1. Trigger: FB Lead Ads - New Lead
  2. Action: BotPress - [EVENT]

Reference this article for instructions: https://botpress.com/docs/cloud/channels/zapier/

Looks like you need to add a Code step.

Hi @Troy Tessalone 

i got the Zapier side of the integration sorted out

 

but the variables are all delivered in one chunk to BotPress, I put them into a variable workflow.zapierData

 

how can I separate the workflow.zapierData chunk into three separate variables (workflow.name, workflow.email and workflow.phone) using execute code step?

 


this is how my test BotPress workflow and execute code looks like

You’ll have to rely on BotPress Support for how to configure their app.

 

It's recommended that you send your data in JSON format so you can send multiple value at once, as Zapier will automatically parse it.
For example, you could use the following expression to send a JSON object with multiple values in the "Trigger Data" field of the "Send to Zapier" action:

{{ JSON.stringify({ myVariable1: workflow.myVariable1, myVariable2: workflow.myVariable2 }) }}
