Using Group Leads to generate leads from your Facebook group

Once you have configured GroupLeads with your Google Sheet and CRM integration, you are ready to start capturing leads. This guide shows you how to use GroupLeads approval filters, perform bulk member approvals using the red Custom Approve All button, and verify that lead data syncs seamlessly to your spreadsheet and email marketing software.

Step 1: Open Your Facebook Group Member Requests

1. Navigate to your Facebook group admin dashboard and click Member requests in the left sidebar menu.
2. Confirm that the GroupLeads Chrome extension is active and red approval buttons are visible on the page.

Step 2: Select Your Approval Filter

Before running a bulk approval, select an approval filter from the GroupLeads dropdown menu to ensure you only approve qualified members:

• All (Default): Approves all pending applicants, regardless of whether they answered your membership questions.
• Answered All Questions: Approves only applicants who have completed every membership question.
• Custom Filters: Filters requests based on specific question responses or required criteria.

Step 3: Important Safety Test — Approve One Member First

⚠️ Important Best Practice: Every time you approve new members (especially if you're using GroupLeads for the first time or verifying new settings), always approve one single member first before approving everyone else to prevent any potential data loss.

1. Click Approve next to a single applicant's name.
2. Check your connected Google Sheet and Email Marketing Software (e.g., ActiveCampaign, ConvertKit, Mailchimp, etc.).
3. Confirm that the member's profile details appear in your Google Sheet and their email address is added to your CRM list.
4. Once verified, proceed to bulk approve the remaining members.

Step 4: Bulk Approve Remaining Members

1. With your chosen filter selected (e.g., Answered all questions), click the red Custom Approve All (or Custom Approve First X) button.
2. GroupLeads will automatically process all matching applicants, approve them into your Facebook group, log their responses in Google Sheets, and add their emails to your CRM email list.

✅ 🎉 Congratulations! You have successfully generated and synced lead data from your Facebook group directly into your Google Sheet and email autoresponder.
