Almost every marketer wants to deliver the most personalized experience to their customers, right from the first interaction with their website until the final conversion. 

While it’s easy to deliver personalized messages through email, things get tricky while turning to Facebook ads. 

The most important bottleneck that marketers face in this area is the lack of real-time CRM data that changes every day. 

One day, a lead might just be added as a prospect in the CRM and the next day they turn into a sales qualified lead after a demo call with your sales team. 

But still, they might be shown the (now redundant) ‘book a demo’ campaign on Facebook & it continues to do so till the new CSV is uploaded.

Who would want that?

This is where CustomerLabs CDP comes into action. In this playbook, let’s see how you can obtain real-time customer data from your CRM and use it to personalize your ad campaigns. 

Step 1: Get your lead data flowing into CustomerLabs CDP by connecting your CRM

CustomerLabs CDP integrates with popular CRMs such as HubSpot, Freshsales, Pipedrive and more. 

Here’s a quick video explaining how you can connect your Freshsales with CustomerLabs CDP, 

1. Navigate to Sources & Choose Freshsales from our Sources catalog
2. Now authenticate Freshsales by following the steps here
3. Post authentication, create separate workflows to bring in your contact, company & deal data from Freshsales 
4. Filter incoming data to weed out irrelevant information
5. Based on the event type, all your CRM data will now be synced with CustomerLabs CDP

Step 2: Activate Facebook as a Destination in CustomerLabs CDP

You will now be able to receive event, user & account data from Freshales as and when updates are being made. All you have to do now is simply activate Facebook as a Destination in the CDP. 

Here’s how you can connect & activate Facebook ad account.

Step 3: Create a Custom Audience on Facebook with CRM data

With access to event & user data from your CRM, there are an infinite number of audience combinations that you can create on Facebook. 

Here are some quick audience combinations for inspiration, 

1. Based on the Lifecycle stage
2. Based on the Deal value
3. Based on the Company location
4. Based on the Job title

For this playbook, let’s see how you can create a custom audience based on the lifecycle stage. In your Business Manager, navigate to Audiences > Create Audience > Custom Audience > Website

Choose the CRM event name from the list of events,

Click on Refine by and choose the lead stage that you want to target,

Create a custom audience list for each CRM stage. In that way, CustomerLabs CDP will push the existing data the first time & syncs real-time lead data when lead stages are changed.
