Stop Wasting Ad Spend: Automate Your Promo Code Audits with HubSpot & Facebook Ads

Are your Facebook Ads promoting outdated sales or incorrect promo codes? When marketing channels aren't in sync, you're not just wasting ad spend on campaigns driving to the wrong offers—you're eroding customer trust and killing your conversion rates. This manual inconsistency leads to high bounce rates, a poor customer experience, and a direct negative impact on your brand's reputation and revenue.


This playbook details a powerful, automated system to ensure your Facebook Ads are always accurate. By establishing the free HubSpot CRM as your single source of truth for all active promo codes, a Make.com scenario works silently in the background. Every day, it audits your live ad campaigns, cross-referencing the ad copy against the master list in HubSpot. If an ad is found with an expired or incorrect code, a task is automatically created in a Trello board for your team to immediately address, plugging the leak in your ad budget.

Expected Outcomes

  • Drastically reduce wasted ad spend on campaigns promoting expired or incorrect offers.
  • Ensure 100% consistency between your active promotions and your live Facebook Ads.
  • Increase conversion rates and customer trust by eliminating frustrating ad-to-landing-page mismatches.
  • Replace hours of manual, error-prone ad checking with a fully automated daily audit.
  • Create a streamlined, actionable workflow for your team to quickly identify and correct ad errors.

Integration Logic

  • Make.com

    This integration triggers when a new lead is submitted through a Facebook Lead Ad form. Make.com captures the lead data (e.g., name, email, phone number). It then uses this data to first create a new contact in HubSpot CRM. Immediately after, it creates a new card on a specified Trello board and list, populating it with the lead's details and a link to their HubSpot profile, instantly notifying the sales or follow-up team.
