Send Facebook Group Posts to Your CRM
With the Groups Watcher Pro plan, you can send every new post from your monitored Facebook groups and pages into your CRM (HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and others). Use Zapier, Make.com, or n8n. Groups Watcher sends each post to your webhook URL, and you build a flow that creates or updates a contact, lead, or deal and attaches the post link and text. You map data.poster_name, data.body, data.post_url, data.group_name, and more to your CRM fields. Most alerts arrive in under 60 seconds.
This feature is available on the Pro plan. Check pricing here.
Set up CRM
Use one of these to get a webhook URL, then add an action that sends data to your CRM:
- Zapier: Trigger = Webhooks by Zapier (Catch Hook). Action = HubSpot Create Contact / Create Deal, Salesforce Create Lead / Create Opportunity, Pipedrive Create Person / Create Deal, etc. For example map contact name =
data.poster_name, note or description =data.bodyplus linkdata.post_url, source =data.group_name. - Make.com: First module = Webhooks (Custom webhook). Second module = HubSpot / Salesforce / Pipedrive / etc. → Create a record (Contact, Lead, Deal). Map
data.*to your CRM fields. - n8n: First node = Webhook (POST). Next node = HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or similar. Map
body.datafields into the CRM (contact name, notes, link to post).
Copy the webhook URL from your chosen tool and paste it into Groups Watcher as your webhook URL (campaign or Pro plan setup). Each new post will trigger the flow and create or update a record in your CRM.
The information we send matches our custom webhook doc: one alert per request with message and data (group name, poster, post URL, body, images, videos, and more).
Test your webhook
Before or after connecting your CRM, send a test to your webhook URL (from Zapier, Make, or n8n). Open Send test webhook, enter the URL, and we send a sample POST so you can verify the flow.
Request
- Method:
POST - Headers:
Content-Type: application/json - Body: JSON with
messageand adataobject (one post per request). Full reference: Custom webhook.
Payload (map to CRM fields)
For the default format, the body has a short message and a data object with all post fields. In Zapier, Make, or n8n map data.poster_name, data.poster_url, data.post_url, data.body, data.group_name, and so on to your CRM contact, lead, or deal fields and notes.
Each POST includes a short message and a data object with all post fields. See the full write-up on Custom webhook.

}Frequently asked questions
How do I send Facebook group posts to my CRM?
Subscribe to Groups Watcher Pro and paste a webhook URL from Zapier, Make.com, or n8n into your notification settings. Add an action in that tool to create or update a contact, lead, or deal in HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, or another CRM. Map poster name, post text, group name, post URL, and other fields into CRM properties. Most alerts arrive in under 60 seconds.
How do I build an automation from Facebook groups to a CRM?
Start in your automation platform with a webhook or Catch Hook trigger. Copy the URL into Groups Watcher. Add CRM modules as the next steps and map body.data fields from each incoming post. Turn on the workflow and your Groups Watcher campaign so new posts flow into the CRM automatically.
What is Groups Watcher?
Groups Watcher watches Facebook groups and pages you configure and delivers each new post to your webhook in under 60 seconds, so sales and marketing teams can capture leads and conversations in their CRM.
Do I need developers?
No for most setups. Zapier, Make, and n8n provide visual mapping from each incoming alert into CRM objects.
Can I use Groups Watcher for brand mentions on Facebook?
Yes. Teams use Pro to watch groups and pages where people talk about a brand, product, or competitor. Add keywords or AI filtering so you see the conversations that matter. Most alerts reach you in under 60 seconds through email, webhooks, Slack, and the other channels in these guides.
Pro plan only. This integration uses the same webhook as the Pro plan. Need help? Contact support@groupswatcher.com.
