How to add a flow to your Meta Ads Manager account

With SendPulse, you can add an Instagram or Facebook chatbot flow to your Meta Ads Manager account to create ad campaigns and send messages according to a predefined scenario. When users click your ad, your added flow will be triggered automatically.

In this article, we will talk about how to add flows when creating ad campaigns.

Create a flow, add Message as your first element, and select the Add the current flow to the list of available ones in your Facebook Ads manager checkbox. Click Apply to save the element’s settings.

Then, add elements according to your scenario.

Make sure to add a button or quick reply to your first message so that users can go to the next flow element.

Click Save and exit.

In the opened modal window, select where to lead users:

In the Message flow field, select the flow you want to add.

You will only see the flows you have added to your Meta Ads Manager account earlier.

Click Finish.

View your message and run your ad

To see what your message and ad will look like, go to the Destination preview tab on the left, and view your template. Check if the added message looks like the one you have created at the first step.

If everything is correct, click Publish.
