πŸ“„Step 3: Connect Your Pages

Almost there! Now we need to tell your Meta App which Facebook Pages to monitor for leads. 🎯


🧠 Why Do I Need to Connect a Page?

Lead Ads run on Facebook Pages (and linked Instagram accounts). Your Meta App needs permission to access a specific Page's lead data.

Think of it this way:

Your Meta App:  "Facebook, can I have the leads from Page XYZ?"
Facebook:       "Sure, let me check... βœ… You're the admin. Here you go!"

πŸ“± Connect Your Facebook Account

1️⃣ Go to Module Settings

  1. In Perfex CRM, go to Meta Leads β†’ Settings

  2. Scroll down to the "Connected Pages" section

  3. Click the "Connect with Facebook" button πŸ”΅


2️⃣ Log In & Grant Permissions

A Facebook popup window will appear:

  1. Log in with the Facebook account that manages your Page

  2. You'll see a list of permissions the app is requesting:

To interact with Lead Ad campaigns

  1. Click "Continue" or "Allow" βœ…

⚠️ Grant ALL permissions! If you skip any, the module won't work correctly. You can always change permissions later in Facebook Settings β†’ Apps and Websitesarrow-up-right.


3️⃣ Select Pages (if prompted)

Facebook might ask you which Pages to grant access to:

  • βœ… Select all Pages you want to monitor for leads

  • Or at minimum, select the Page(s) you'll run Lead Ads on

Click Done βœ…


πŸ“‹ Subscribe to Your Page

After connecting, you'll see a table with your Facebook Pages:

For Each Page You Want to Monitor:

  1. Click the green "Subscribe" button (or "Monitor") βœ…

  2. Wait a moment... ⏳

  3. The status should change to "Monitoring" 🟒

πŸŽ‰ That's it! This Page is now connected. Any Lead Ads running on this Page will automatically send leads to your Perfex CRM.


πŸ“Έ What About Instagram?

Great news β€” Instagram is automatic! πŸŽ‰

If your Facebook Page is linked to an Instagram Business account (which is required for Instagram ads anyway), lead data from Instagram Lead Ads will flow through the same Page webhook.

You don't need to do anything extra for Instagram. Same setup, both platforms. ✨

How to check if Instagram is linked to your Page:

  1. Go to your Facebook Page

  2. Click Settings β†’ Linked Accounts (or Instagram)

  3. If you see your Instagram account linked, you're good to go!


βœ… Multiple Pages

You can subscribe to multiple Pages at once! Just click "Subscribe" on each Page you want to monitor.

Each Page operates independently β€” you can subscribe/unsubscribe at any time.


πŸ”„ Refreshing the Page List

If you create a new Facebook Page after the initial setup:

  1. Go to Meta Leads β†’ Settings

  2. Click "Connect with Facebook" again

  3. Grant access to the new Page

  4. Subscribe to it


βœ… Connection Complete!

At this point, your setup looks like this:


πŸ§ͺ Quick Test

Before moving on, let's verify everything works:

  1. Go to Meta Leads β†’ Settings

  2. Click "Test Connection"

  3. You should see:

    • βœ… App Credentials: Valid

    • βœ… Access Token: Valid

    • βœ… Permissions: All granted

  4. Click "Send Test Lead"

  5. Check if a test lead appears in Perfex CRM β†’ Leads πŸŽ‰
