Why Connect Zoho CRM with Meta and Google Ads?

Understanding Meta & Google Ad Platforms Requirements
Before you sync Zoho CRM with Facebook Lead Ads or Google Ads, it’s important to understand what kind of lead data these platforms need. Both Meta and Google require consent-based, first-party data, typically including the lead’s name, email address, and phone number. This data must be securely hashed before uploading through platforms like Customer Match (Google) or Custom Audiences (Meta).
When you collect leads through Facebook lead ads, this data gets captured directly in Zoho CRM, where it’s stored in your chosen module. By syncing your ad’s Zoho CRM setup with Meta and Google, you can push these leads into relevant audience groups for more targeted ad delivery.
For Google, Customer Match allows you to use your existing Zoho lead data to re-engage users across Search, Display, YouTube, and Gmail. On the Meta side, Custom Audiences lets you upload or sync your Facebook lead data from Zoho CRM, so you can create remarketing campaigns or even build lookalike audiences based on your highest-converting leads.
The better your CRM data, the stronger your ad targeting will be, and integrating Zoho CRM ensures your lead ads are always supported by accurate, up-to-date info.
Methods to Send CRM Data to Meta & Google Ads
Activating lead data from your Zoho CRM is essential for effective audience targeting and conversion tracking on ad platforms like Meta and Google.
There are two main methods to send this data:
1. Automated sync
2. Manual Upload
Automated Sync
Automated sync involves connecting your Zoho CRM directly with Meta and Google Ads through API-based tools. These integrations allow for real-time or scheduled syncing of lead data from Zoho to your ad platforms, ensuring up-to-date and accurate customer lists. For example, a tool like EasyInsights can:
- Connect your Zoho CRM account and advertising platform
- Map CRM fields (such as email, phone number, lead status)
- Trigger lead syncs based on conditions (e.g., when a lead status changes to “Marketing Qualified Lead”)
- Push lead data into Meta’s Custom Audiences or Google’s Customer Match system
Use Zoho’s lead scoring or segmentation features to ensure only high-intent or qualified leads are sent to your ad platforms for more efficient targeting and better campaign performance.

Manual Upload
Manual upload involves exporting lead data from your CRM and uploading it directly to Meta and Google Ads. This process is more time-consuming than automated syncing but can be a good option for smaller teams or one-time audience uploads.
For example, you can follow these steps:
- Export a list of leads from your CRM (Zoho, HubSpot, Salesforce, etc.) including fields like email, phone number, and name.
- Clean and format the file as a CSV or TXT, ensuring fields match what Meta or Google expects.
- Upload the file into Meta’s Custom Audiences or Google’s Customer Match section within their respective ad managers.
- Use Meta’s or Google’s hashing (or apply SHA256 encryption yourself) to secure first-party user data.
- Map the appropriate fields during upload (e.g., email, phone, zip code) to maximize audience match rates.
- Use the uploaded audience for remarketing, exclusions, or creating lookalike/similar audiences.
Manual upload requires ongoing effort, including frequent exports and uploads, but is a viable method if automation isn’t available or needed yet.
