Facebook Lead Ads → Google Sheets → Slack

Leads from a Facebook Lead Ads form land in Google Sheets the moment they arrive, with a Slack ping.

Steps

When when a facebook lead ad form is submitted — Facebook Lead Ads node only reads
Then add a row to google sheets — Google Sheets node can be undone
Then send a slack message — Slack node can’t be undone

Fields to fill (8)

The file has every node wired up. These are the blanks only you can fill (your form, your sheet, your words).

Node	What to do
Facebook Lead Ads	fill `page` (The page linked to the form for retrieving new leads)
Facebook Lead Ads	fill `form` (The form to monitor for fetching lead details upon submis...)
Google Sheets	fill `documentId` (Document)
Google Sheets	fill `sheetName` (Sheet)
Google Sheets	fill `columns` (Columns)
Slack	check `select` = 'channel' (first option; pick yours)
Slack	fill `channelId` (The Slack channel to send to) — only if select = channel
Slack	fill `text` (The message text to post)

Accounts to connect (3)

In n8n, pick or add a credential on each node — one of the types below.

Facebook Lead Ads: facebookLeadAdsOAuth2Api
Google Sheets: googleApi or googleSheetsOAuth2Api
Slack: slackApi or slackOAuth2Api

Need something slightly different? Same engine, your own words:

Run it on Apify — type your own sentence, get the workflow back in seconds. Open Bridgecore on Apify (pay per use, $0.02–$0.05; nothing charged on errors).
Ask your AI — add the MCP server https://mcp.usebridgecore.com/ to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client, then just say what should happen. Tools: do, find_recipe, plan_automation, make_n8n_workflow. Free to plan.
Ask me first — add “and ask me first” to any step (“… and post it on X and ask me first”) and the workflow sends you an Approve / Decline message (Slack, Telegram or Gmail) before that step runs. Nothing is sent, posted, deleted or paid until you tap Approve; no answer in a day = declined.
