Stop Losing Leads! How to Send Facebook Leads to Google Sheets & SMS Instantly (5-Second Rule)

“If you are running Facebook Ads and still downloading CSV files manually, you are losing money. Here is the 5-second fix.”

The “5-Minute Death” of a Lead ☠️

Did you know that replying to a lead within 5 minutes increases conversion rates by up to 9x?

Now here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Most real estate agents, car dealers, and agencies in Dubai and Singapore still download Facebook leads manually.

• CSV export.
• End of day.
• “I’ll call them later.”

By the time you call, that lead is:

❌ Cold.

❌ Already contacted by 2–3 competitors.

❌ No longer emotionally engaged.

In fast-moving markets like UAE and Singapore, speed isn’t a “nice to have”.

Speed to Lead is the deal-breaker.

The Modern Solution

When a lead submits a Facebook form:

1. Your phone should ring in 5 seconds.
2. Your sales team should get notified instantly.
3. The prospect should receive a confirmation SMS or WhatsApp automatically.

No humans. No waiting. No excuses.

Imagine getting this notification instantly. This is what speed looks like.

Step-by-Step: Build This Automation (Technical but Simple)

You don’t need to be a developer. Just follow this blueprint.

Step 1: Create Your Facebook Lead Form

• Go to Facebook Ads Manager.
• Create a Lead Ad asking for: Name, Phone, Email.

Step 2: Create a Make.com Scenario

Module 1: Facebook Lead Ads – “Watch Leads”

• Connect your Facebook account.
• Select the correct Page + Form.
• ⚠️ Note: Connection usually requires Admin rights.

Module 2: Google Sheets – “Add a Row”

• Connect Google account.
• Map fields: Name → Name column, Phone → Phone column.

Module 3: Telegram Bot / Slack – “Send Message”

• Message template:🔥 NEW LEAD ALERTName: {{1.full_name}}Phone: {{1.phone_number}}ACTION: CALL NOW!

Step 3: Test Everything

Use the Facebook Lead Testing Tool to submit a fake lead.

If your phone doesn’t “ting” in 5 seconds, you’re doing it wrong.

⚠️ Business-Grade Warning (Read This Carefully)

This is where most agencies screw up.

The Free / 1,000 Ops Plan is DANGEROUS for business use.

If you generate 50+ leads per day, here’s the math:

• 1 Lead = 3–4 Operations (Facebook + Sheet + Telegram + SMS).
• 50 leads/day = ~200 ops/day.
• Result: You hit the 1,000 limit in 5 days.

Imagine this nightmare:

The scenario stops working. No alerts. Leads keep coming in on Facebook, but your phone is silent.

You just lost a $30,000 deal because you wanted to save $9 on software.

That’s not smart. That’s reckless.

The Only Safe Option for Agencies

To run this 24/7, with zero delay and high volume, you need breathing room.

You need the 10,000 Operations (1-Month Pro Trial) to handle thousands of leads without crashing.

Final Words: Speed Is Money 💰

“In high-stakes markets like Dubai and Singapore, the factor that determines if you close a lead or lose it is…”

• Not the cheapest.
• Not the most experienced.
• But the one who is the FASTEST

Manual lead handling is silently killing your sales. Automation is no longer “advanced technology” — it’s the new minimum standard.

Set this up today, and start closing more deals tomorrow.
