About the Facebook leads connection

Seguno's connection uses your Facebook admin permissions to sync new leads from your Facebook ads into your Shopify account as subscribed customers. Facebook leads connect functions as an event listener, meaning Seguno respects your privacy and only accesses data when the subscription event occurs.

App permissions for Facebook leads connection are approved when registering in Seguno and can be reviewed in your Facebook Settings under Business Integrations.

Warning: Any denied or revoked permissions will disable your leads sync. Permission listing is for data transparency.

Facebook Leads connection uses the following permissions:

  • Show a list of the pages you manage: used to configure which page's lead ads will sync to your Shopify account

  • Access leads for your Pages: used to identify the email addresses of your new leads

  • Read content posted on the Page: identifies lead ads and collected follower's email address pages

  • Manage accounts, settings, and webhooks for a Page: allows Lead Connect to listen for new leads

  • Create and manage ads for your Page: required to see the leads coming from each ad

Seguno does not share your data, store or access your Facebook data beyond the outlined intentions, post to, or modify your Facebook page, and will delete data used to access your Facebook leads within 48hrs after an account is disconnected.


Connect to your Facebook pages

To connect Facebook leads:

  1. Navigate to the Dashboard, then Connections.

  2. Click Connect.

  3. Login to Facebook to view your Facebook business pages.

  4. Click Edit access to select/deselect specific business pages.

    1. Be sure to review Facebook Leads connection's requested permissions and accept all permissions to enable your connection. Lead imports are processed for all FB page ads and can be enabled or disabled at any point.

Note: Admin permission is required to enable the connection for each business page.

Once enabled, Lead Connect will begin importing new leads to your Shopify account. The number of leads imported is tracked based on each page. Connecting with an existing Facebook Lead Ad will not backfill previously collected leads. No leads will import or queue for import if a page is not enabled for syncing.

Note: If Leads Access Manager is enabled in your Facebook Business Manager settings, you'll need to add access for Seguno in the CRM Integrations section of your Business Manager settings for Seguno. Learn more from Facebook.

This connection does not support co-registration leads, and each Facebook page may be linked to one Seguno account at a time.


Importing new leads to Seguno

Seguno will automatically detect new lead ads and import resulting leads if your lead connection is active for a Facebook page. New leads will be imported in near-realtime with the available information for your prospect's first name, last name, and email address. Leads will be set to 'accepts email marketing' and tagged with "facebook-leads-connection."

If some data for a lead already exists in your account, the existing values will not be overwritten - they will only be updated to 'subscribed,' and the tag will be applied.

  • At least one form must capture the email field.

    • Forms that do not collect email addresses cannot be used to collect new subscribers for your account. If you believe your form is collecting email addresses, please verify the field type is "email_address", and not text. It is important to use the correct field type as it includes address formatting validation.
