Google Ads lead forms recipes
Text people who fill in a Google Ads lead form.
Two recipes for Google Ads lead forms. Each names its trigger and the BlueBot step, lists the fields to map and says how to test it with your own number before anyone else gets a text.
How Google Ads lead forms connects
- : BlueBot’s Zapier app has a Send Text action and instant triggers for incoming texts and every change of state.

Steps
- Make sure the lead form asks for a phone number.
- Start a Zap with Google Ads’ trigger for a new lead form entry.
- Add BlueBot’s Send Text action and map the phone number to To.
Map the fields
| BlueBot field | Map it to |
|---|---|
| To | The person’s mobile number from Google Ads lead forms. US numbers can leave off the +1. |
| Text | Hi {{first_name}}, this is Kim from Coastal Roofing. Thanks for asking for a quote. When can we come take a look? |
{{first_name}} in the text | Google Ads lead forms’s first name field. |
| Metadata | source set to google-ads, and record_id set to the record’s id, so the status and reply webhooks for this text can find the record again. |
| Service | Auto, the default: iMessage when the person uses it, otherwise SMS through your iPhone. |
Test it
Put your own number in To and press Test step. A text arrives on your phone from your own number, and Zapier shows the message BlueBot returned with state: "queued". Then map Google Ads lead forms’s field back into To and turn the Zap on.

Before you turn it on
- Text only people who asked to hear from you. Anyone who replies STOP goes on your stop list, and BlueBot cancels texts to them.
- A text that can’t go yet waits with a hold rather than failing: quiet hours, your Mac away, a daily limit.
- on the integrations page says what else the two do together.
