Source – Facebook

(A ‘Source’ platform is one where data can be brought in from any platform into CustomerLabs CDP)

Facebook is a popular social networking website that lets users upload pictures and videos of their business. This can be a powerful way to communicate with customers and potential customers, allowing them to see the product or service without having to visit the premises.

The CustomerLabs CDP + Facebook integration helps marketers bring data from lead ads on Facebook, unify them with existing customer information across the martech stack to create 360° customer profiles and sync that data to any destination platform to trigger relevant workflows without having to depend on their developers.

Workflows in CustomerLabs CDP

Setting up a workflow in CustomerLabs CDP will allow you to receive notifications about changes that happen to your Facebook data in real-time. 

For example, you can set up a workflow that will trigger a notification to be pushed to the CustomerLabs CDP specified every time a user submits a lead form on Facebook. 

Creating workflows help in filtering incoming data to suit business needs and map them to existing customer data in CustomerLabs CDP, thus achieving a unified customer view without writing any code.
