Quick Answer
How do you use Facebook CAPI for lead events in BizStackPro?
Connect the Facebook account, Page, Ad Account, and Instant Form; obtain the Dataset ID and Access Token from Meta Events Manager; create one workflow to capture Facebook leads; and create another workflow that sends Lead Events when opportunities move through selected pipeline stages.
What the Integration Does
Facebook Lead Ads can generate form submissions, but the original submission does not show whether a lead later becomes qualified, books an appointment, or closes as a customer.
The Facebook Conversion API integration allows BizStackPro to send server-side CRM events to Meta as contacts and opportunities move through your pipeline.
These events provide Meta with additional information about lead quality and business outcomes instead of relying only on the initial form submission.
The setup uses two workflows
The first workflow captures the Facebook Instant Form lead and creates or updates the contact and opportunity. The second workflow sends Lead Events to Meta when the opportunity moves through selected pipeline stages.
CAPI Lead Events at a Glance
Before You Begin
Connect the required accounts and prepare the identifiers, forms, pipeline, and stages used by the workflows.
- Confirm you can access Meta Business Suite and Events Manager.
- Identify the correct Meta Data Source and Dataset ID.
- Generate the Access Token required by the workflow action.
- Connect the Facebook account, Page, Ad Account, and Instant Form in BizStackPro.
- Confirm the Facebook form fields are mapped correctly.
- Select the pipeline and starting stage for new leads.
- Decide which stages represent meaningful outcomes, such as Qualified, Booked, or Won.
- Prepare a test lead that can be moved through the pipeline.
Configure Facebook CAPI Lead Events
Obtain the Meta credentials, create the lead-capture workflow, create the stage-change workflow, and test the complete process.
Open Meta Events Manager
Open Meta Business Suite, go to Events Manager, and select the correct Data Source or Pixel/Dataset.
Copy the Dataset ID
Open the Data Source settings and copy the Dataset ID, also identified as the Pixel ID.
Generate the Access Token
Generate the required Access Token from the same settings area.
Confirm the Facebook Integration
In BizStackPro, open Settings → Integrations and confirm that the Facebook account, Page, Ad Account, and Instant Form mapping are connected correctly.
Create the Lead-Capture Workflow
Create a workflow using Facebook Lead Form Submission as the trigger.
- Create or update the contact.
- Create or update the opportunity.
- Select the pipeline and starting stage.
- Optionally apply tags or assign an owner.
- Optionally send a confirmation email or SMS message.
Add an Initial CAPI Action When Required
If your setup requires an initial event, add the Facebook Conversion API action to the lead-capture workflow.
Create the Stage-Change Workflow
Create a second workflow using Pipeline Stage Changed as the trigger.
- Add the Facebook Conversion API action.
- Select Lead Event as the event type.
- Enter the Pixel/Dataset ID.
- Enter the Access Token.
- Configure the stage or stages that should send events.
Match Events to Pipeline Outcomes
Configure events for meaningful milestones. For example, a move to Booked can send a Booked CRM event, while a move to Won can send a higher-quality outcome event.
Add Custom Value Mapping When Needed
Use Custom Value Mapping when you need to override defaults or pass specific identifiers into the CAPI action.
- Use FBCLID when needed for funnel or website attribution.
- Use the Facebook Lead ID when needed for lead-event matching.
- Add only the parameters needed and supported by the workflow action.
Publish and Test the Workflows
Publish the workflows, submit a test Facebook lead, and move the opportunity through the configured pipeline stages.
Confirm Events in Meta
Open Meta Events Manager and confirm that the expected CRM events were received as the test lead moved through the pipeline.
Start with the baseline setup
Confirm that the basic lead-capture and stage-change workflows work before adding Custom Value Mapping. Add extra identifiers only after the initial events are being received successfully.
