Troubleshooting Facebook Lead Ads Integration with Mastermind

Integrating Facebook Lead Ads with your Mastermind account can significantly enhance your lead management process by automatically capturing leads and syncing them into your system. However, like any integration, issues may arise. This guide will walk you through the steps to troubleshoot common problems when Facebook Lead Ads aren't syncing correctly with Mastermind.

Why Are My Lead Ads Not Making It Into My Hub account?

If your Facebook Lead Ads are not syncing with your Mastermind system, there may be several reasons. Let's walk through each possible cause:

1. Check Facebook Page Admin Role

  • Problem: You need to ensure you're an admin of the Facebook page linked to your ads.
  • Solution: Verify that the user account connected to the Mastermind integration is an admin of the Facebook Business page. To add or verify this, follow these steps:
    • Navigate to the Facebook Business Settings. (If you're not already logged in, you will be taken to the log in page first.)
    • Ensure that the Facebook page you want to integrate has an admin role assigned to your account.

2. Verify the Correct Facebook Lead Ad Form is Selected

  • Problem: The wrong lead form may have been selected in your Facebook Ads Manager.
  • Solution: Go to the Ads Manager and confirm that the correct Facebook Lead Form is selected. Then, in the Mastermind system, check under Settings > Integrations > Facebook Form Field Mapping to ensure that the form is properly mapped and appears with a blue checkmark.

3. Check the Access Permissions for LeadConnector

  • Problem: LeadConnector might not have the necessary access permissions to retrieve leads.
  • Solution: Follow the steps mentioned in the LeadConnector access section.

A Facebook Token Has Expired In a Sub-Account: Why Does This Happen and How to Fix It?

Why It Happens:

Facebook tokens naturally expire after a certain time. This could also happen if there’s a change in password or if someone de-authorizes the app, logs out of Facebook, or alters page permissions.

How to Fix It:

  1. Reconnect Facebook in Mastermind:
    • Go to Settings > Integrations in your Mastermind account.
    • Click Disconnect next to the Facebook icon to disconnect the expired token.
    • Reconnect by clicking Connect and log in with the Facebook account that manages the page you want to link.
    • Select the Facebook page and complete the reconnection process.
  2. Check if You’re Logged Into the Correct Facebook Account:
    • Ensure that the correct Facebook account is being used for the integration.

Common Errors

1. Page Quality Issue

  • Problem: This error can occur if the Facebook page has quality issues, such as being flagged by Facebook.
  • Solution: Raise a support ticket with Facebook Support to resolve this issue. Go to your page on Facebook and use the support link to open a support ticket.

2. Permission Issue

  • Problem: Missing permissions may prevent Facebook Lead Ads from syncing.
  • Solution: Use the Facebook lead ads testing tool to check for missing permissions. Check if the appropriate permissions are enabled for the page, Instagram, and Ads account.

3. Instagram Not Syncing All Messages

  • Problem: Instagram messages may not sync correctly due to settings in Mastermind.
  • Solution: Ensure that Instagram is properly connected to the Facebook page and that messaging is enabled.

4. Leads Not Syncing

  • Problem: Leads might not be syncing if the business settings are misconfigured.
  • Solution: Check the Ad Account settings, ensure the Page Admin matches the Ad Account Owner, and check the Lead Access Permissions.
