Before You Start

  • A mobile phone that can receive SMS

Step 1: Connect Your Google Ads Account

  1. Log in to LeadSync
  2. Go to Ad Accounts > Google from the left menu
  3. Click Add Google Account
  4. Sign in to Google and authorize LeadSync
  5. Your account appears in the table when connected

  4. Enter the phone number(s) to receive notifications

Step 4: Test Your Setup

Submit a test lead through your Google campaign. You should receive an SMS notification within 1-2 minutes.

SMS alerts include a short link to the lead's page whenever there's room for it in the same text, so it doesn't use an extra SMS credit. The page shows everything the lead submitted, with buttons to call, text, WhatsApp or email them and to mark the lead Contacted, No answer, Booked or won or Not interested. If a lead's details are too long for one text, the SMS shows their name and phone number with the link to the rest.

More about the page: Call, text or mark a lead straight from your lead alert.

Troubleshooting

  • Can't see your Ad Account? Make sure your Google account has access to the ad account.
  • No SMS received? Check the phone number format (must include country code).
  • Form not showing? The form must be part of an active or paused campaign.
  • SMS delayed? Check your phone's signal. SMS delivery can vary by carrier.
