Running Facebook Ads is supposed to get you good quality leads.
And it does… sort of.
The problem?
When someone fills out a Facebook lead form, half the time you end up with:
Fake emails like
[email protected]Bogus phone numbers that don’t even have the right number of digits
Spammy submissions that waste your ad spend
Manually checking each one? Not happening.
You don’t have the time — and honestly, you shouldn’t need to.
So I built a workflow that:
Captures every Facebook lead form submission automatically
Validates and cleans the data (email, phone, name)
Generates a unique lead ID + spam score
Pushes only clean, trusted leads into Beehiiv as subscribers
And I didn’t write a single line of code.
The FLOW Framework
How to think about it:
F — Form → Facebook lead ad is the entry point.
L — Lead → Raw data lands in MindStudio.
O — Output → Validator agent structures & cleans into JSON.
W — Workflow → Auto-send to Beehiiv via webhook.
This is the blueprint that keeps the system clear and repeatable.
Here’s the Setup (Step-by-Step Without the Headache)
Step 1: Zapier Watches for New Leads
Zapier is like your virtual receptionist.
Someone fills out your Facebook Lead Ad form?
Boom — Zapier grabs it instantly and hands it off to the workflow.
Seriously, it’s like:
“Hey boss, we got a new signup on the Loyalty Form!”
No more downloading CSVs. No more manually checking Ads Manager. Zapier’s on watch 24/7.
Step 2: MindStudio Cleans the Lead (Like a Pro)
This is where the magic happens.
Raw Facebook leads can be messy — fake emails, weird phone numbers, or names like “Test Test.”
So I ran everything through a MindStudio Lead validation workflow.
I basically told it:
“Make sure the email looks real.”
“Normalize the phone number.”
“Split full names into first + last.”
“Give me a spam score if it looks sketchy.”
MindStudio takes care of all of that.
No manual cleanup. No spreadsheets. Just clean JSON that’s ready to go.
Step 3: Leads Go Straight Into Beehiiv
Here’s the part that made me breathe a little easier.
Instead of piling into some forgotten Google Sheet, the clean leads go straight into Beehiiv as subscribers.
No middleman. No manual import/export.
We didn’t write a backend app , just a few lines of vibe coding inside MindStudio to call the Beehiiv API.
One minute someone fills out your form, the next they’re a validated subscriber in Beehiiv, ready to get your next campaign.
It’s seamless. Fast. And it just works.
The Result
✅ Every Facebook ad lead is standardized and validated
✅ Fake emails + phone numbers get flagged instantly
✅ Spammy leads don’t clog up Beehiiv
✅ Only clean subscribers flow into your newsletter list
No manual reviews. No spreadsheet cleanup. Just clean leads on autopilot.
Why This Matters
Instead of paying for junk leads, you now:
Keep your Beehiiv (or CRM etc) list high-quality
Save time (no more manual cleanup)
Get a reliable audit trail (every lead has a unique ID + timestamp)
What’s Next
This is just the start. Future iterations could:
Auto-tag leads by campaign/ad set in Beehiiv
Trigger alerts for high-spam-score submissions
Enrich leads with extra data (like company info)
With this foundation, Facebook leads become clean, trustworthy subscribers in minutes.
