πŸ“ΈInstagram Lead Ads

Great news β€” Instagram Lead Ads work automatically with this module! No extra setup, no extra configuration. Same webhook, same data, same CRM. πŸŽ‰


πŸ€” How Is This Possible?

Instagram is owned by Meta (Facebook's parent company). Behind the scenes, everything goes through the same system:

Facebook Lead Ad  ──┐
                    β”œβ”€β”€β–Ί Same Page Webhook ──► Same Module ──► Same CRM
Instagram Lead Ad β”€β”€β”˜

When you subscribed your Facebook Page to receive leads, you automatically covered Instagram too β€” because Instagram Lead Ads are connected through Facebook Pages.
