This multi-step solution includes multiple roles and permission sets to complete steps in Data Cloud, Sales Cloud, and Meta. Bookmark this page or keep it open in a separate window to refer to this topic.

## Step 1: Install Lead Capture for Salesforce

To use this solution, you must have the Lead Capture app installed. To install and configure Lead Capture, complete the following steps.

1. Review the [implementation guide](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/partners/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00P4V00000wVG7NUAW) and [user guide](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/partners/servlet/servlet.FileDownload?file=00P4V00000wVG7XUAW) before installation that's available on **AppExchange** (Admin—15 minutes)
2. [Configure Lead Capture Cloud](https://appexchange.salesforce.com/appxListingDetail?listingId=a0N4V00000HA0mqUAD&tab=d) available on **AppExchange** (Admin—10 minutes).
3. Confirm leads are received from Meta into the Lead Object in **Salesforce** (Admin—2 minutes).

## Step 2: Create a Salesforce CRM Data Stream

To create a Salesforce CRM data stream in Data Cloud, you must first connect your Salesforce account. Then, create a Salesforce CRM data stream based on a Lead Object.

1. [Set Up the Salesforce CRM Connection](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_set_up_crm_connection.htm&type=5&language=en_US) in **Data Cloud** (Data Cloud Architect Permission Set—2 minutes).
2. [Create a Salesforce CRM Data Stream](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_create_crm_data_stream.htm&type=5&language=en_US) in **Data Cloud** (Data Cloud Architect Permission Set—2 minutes).

## Step 3: Map Data Stream to DMO

Customize where the data streams are mapped to. When the Salesforce connector is set up, a Lead DMO is created automatically.

1. [Create a Custom Data Model Object from an Existing Data Model Object](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_create_custom_dmo_from_existing.htm&type=5&language=en_US) in **Data Cloud** (Data Cloud Architect Permission Set—5 minutes).
2. [Map Data Model Objects](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_map_custom_data_model_objects.htm&type=5&language=en_US) in **Data Cloud** (Data Cloud Architect Permission Set—2 minutes).

## Step 4: Confirm Leads Route from Meta into Data Cloud DMO

Meta provides a tool for creating test leads to simulate an end user creating a lead, which shows the flow of data you’ve set up in Salesforce and Data Cloud.

1. [Testing and Troubleshooting](https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/guides/lead-ads/testing-troubleshooting/)—[Create a Custom Data Model Object from an Existing Data Model Object](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_create_custom_dmo_from_existing.htm&type=5&language=en_US) in **Data Cloud** (5 minutes).
2. Check in the Lead Object with the name: <test lead: dummy data for full\_name> (Admin—5 minutes).
3. Go to **Data Cloud** and click **Data Explorer**. Find your leads instance in the dropdown menu. Learn about how to [View Your Data in Data Explorer](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=data.c360_a_view_your_data.htm&type=5&language=en_US) (Data Cloud Architect Permission Set).
