Groupboss allows you to generate unlimited free leads from Facebook groups by saving answers to group-qualifying questions with a single click. You can easily transfer those to Omnisend to run email campaigns and turn your Facebook group into a revenue-generating machine.
Setup Process
Step 1. In Omnisend, go to Apps → search for Groupboss → click Connect now → Copy API Key.
Step 2. Install the Groupboss extension in your browser. Follow this guide for the Chrome browser extension.
Step 3. Go to your Facebook group → click on the Groupboss extension icon, and there you should see an option to connect it to Omnisend if the group is already connected to your Groupboss account. If not, connect it first.
Once done, perform the actions described below:
Double-check the group you're connecting to.
Add a spreadsheet link where your Facebook leads will sync, and sign in with your Google account to finish setting up this part of the connection (Find more details here).
If you already have membership questions to join your Facebook group, those should appear as headers in the added Google sheet.
Example of the Headers in a Google sheet:
Step 4. Select Omnisend and click Next.
Step 5. Paste in the API key created in Omnisend and add a distinguishing tag to your Facebook leads for your Omnisend contact list. Click Save.
Step 6. In Omnisend, check the box I have completed all the steps and click Confirm.
And this is it! You should see a "successfully saved" message at the end.

You are all set and ready to proceed with the integration now.
FAQ
Can my Groupboss lead trigger Welcome automation?
Unfortunately, it's impossible, but you can send a feature improvement request to the Groupboss team here since they were responsible for making this integration possible.
However, if you wish to send a Welcome automation to the leads coming from this integration, you can create a segment based on a tag from it to set up Segment-based automation. Learn how to Trigger Automation on Segment Entry.
