Meta has introduced a significant update to its Instant Forms feature, enabling direct integration with Google Sheets for automated lead data collection. This enhancement eliminates the previous requirement of using third-party services like Zapier for lead data transfer.

The connection process is straightforward through the Business Manager interface:
- Access 'All Tools' in Business Manager navigation
- Navigate to 'Instant Forms' section
- Select 'CRM setup'
- Choose 'Google Sheets' from available options
- Authenticate with your Google account
- Create a new Google Sheets spreadsheet
- Input the spreadsheet URL
- Choose your Instant Form

Functionality and Benefits
When implemented, the system automatically populates the connected Google Sheets spreadsheet with lead information from Instant Form submissions. This streamlined process creates new opportunities for data management and integration with additional platforms.
The direct connection facilitates seamless data transfer to various dashboards and systems, enhancing the efficiency of lead management workflows. This native integration represents a significant improvement in Meta's lead generation infrastructure.
