Issue Summary:
Facebook Lead Ads may cease delivering leads to LeadConduit when changes in administrative access—such as password updates or permission modifications—cause the authentication token to expire. This guide explains how to reauthorize your connected Facebook pages, verify form details, and ensure that sync issues are resolved.

Impact:
Flows reliant on Facebook Lead Ads integration become non‑functional, resulting in missing lead data. Advertisers, lead buyers, and users depending on real‑time lead delivery are adversely affected.

Common Errors, Causes, and Fixes

Symptom Root Cause Description Quick Fix
No Facebook leads arriving in the flow Expired or disrupted Facebook authentication Changes in administrative access or password updates deactivate the existing connection to Facebook Lead Ads. Disconnect the Facebook pages from the flow and reconnect them to refresh the authentication token.
Test leads not processing Incomplete or missing Facebook permissions Necessary permissions—such as “Access Leads for your pages” and “Manage your ads”—are not properly granted, hindering lead sync. Verify and update Facebook account permissions; reauthenticate the integration via the Sources step in LeadConduit.
Unable to locate the Facebook form Interface changes or misconfiguration of page settings The specific form used for Facebook Lead Ads cannot be easily identified in Facebook’s Publishing Tools or Lead Center. Use Facebook’s Publishing Tools or Lead Center to locate the correct form and update LeadConduit field mappings if needed.

Step‑by‑Step Troubleshooting

Step 1 – Disconnect and Reauthorize Facebook Pages

  1. Log into your LeadConduit flow and navigate to the Sources step.
  2. Click Add to Flow > Sources and select Facebook Lead Ads Routed Inbound.
  3. Authenticate with your Facebook account if prompted.
  4. Temporarily disconnect all connected pages by toggling them off.
  5. Click Continue, then Finish, and save the flow.

Expected Result:
The Facebook pages become disconnected from the LeadConduit flow, pausing lead transmission until reauthorization is performed.

Step 2 – Reconnect Facebook Pages to the Flow

  1. In the same flow, navigate to the Sources step and click Add to Flow > Sources.
  2. Search for and select Facebook Lead Ads Routed Inbound again.
  3. Reauthenticate with Facebook if necessary.
  4. Reconnect the required pages by toggling them on one by one.
  5. Click Continue, then Finish, and save the flow.
  6. Send a test lead using Facebook’s Lead Ads Testing Tool to confirm that leads are being received.

Expected Result:
The Facebook pages are reconnected with refreshed authentication tokens, and a test lead appears in LeadConduit, indicating proper synchronization.

Step 4 – Facebook Lead Ads Troubleshooting: Try This First

  1. If leads continue to be absent, verify that your Facebook account retains all necessary permissions (e.g., “Access Leads for your pages”, “Manage your ads”).
  2. Optionally, disconnect the LeadConduit integration from Facebook via your personal Profile Settings under the Business Integrations tab.
  3. After removal, repeat Steps 1 and 2 to reauthorize the Facebook pages within LeadConduit.
  4. Confirm that all permissions are properly set and send another test lead.

Expected Result:
The integration’s permissions are refreshed and reauthorized, resolving residual sync issues and ensuring continuous lead flow.

What should I do if test leads are not appearing after troubleshooting?
