How it Works

Lead ads make forms simple for people and more valuable for businesses. Set up a lead ad where prospective customers can sign up for what you're offering and you'll get accurate contact information to follow up.

Limitations

Starting in Marketing API v9.0, you will not be able to retrieve leads if your app is in Development mode. For testing purposes, Development mode app users can access leads submitted by someone with a role in that same app. See App Roles.

Implementation

All apps that access Facebook need an access token, or you can get a token when you create your new app on the Marketing API.

Integrating CRMs

With Facebook lead ads, you can set up the leads you receive from Facebook to be instantly updated into your CRM system. Your options include:

Conversions API integration

To see a better performance in your lead ads, you can choose to share your CRM data about your leads back to Facebook to unlock quality lead optimization. This allows Facebook to better optimize for quality leads by using data on which generated lead turned out to be quality leads from your CRM directly.

Retrieve Leads

To read lead data, you need Page Admin access or flexible permissions. With the latter, you retrieve leads without Page Admin access.
