Meta
In this guide, we’ll walk through how to connect your Meta page to Rotor so that leads are automatically created when someone fills out a native Meta lead form. ⚠️ Important: This integration does not support DMs at this time. It is specifically for Meta ads that use native lead forms (Instant Forms). When someone submits a form on Meta, the lead will automatically sync into Rotor. Your ad spend data will also pull in automatically.

What This Integration Does
Once connected:
Leads from Meta native forms automatically create contacts in Rotor
Leads are automatically tagged as Meta
The specific form name is added as a tag
Ad spend data syncs into Rotor Analytics
You can track conversions and ROI directly inside Rotor
Step 1: Access the Meta Integration in Rotor
To connect Meta:
Log into Rotor on desktop
Click Settings in the bottom-left corner
Select Meta under Integrations
Click Add Connection
🔑 You must be an Admin in Rotor to access this page.
If you already have a Meta page connected:
You can still add another page
If you’re running multiple campaigns under the same page, you do not need to reconnect it
Step 2: Connect Your Meta Page
Before starting, make sure you are logged into your Meta Business Suite account.
When prompted:
Select the Facebook page you’re running ads from
Select the page you want connected to Rotor
Confirm the correct Ad Account is selected
⚠️ If the Ad Account isn’t properly set up, the connection may still work — but ad spend data might not pull correctly.
Double-check with whoever manages your ads to confirm the correct ad account is connected.
Scroll down:
Click Accept
Click Save
It will load for a few seconds.
Click “Got it”, then you’ll be redirected back into Rotor.
Select which page you want connected when prompted.
Your Meta page is now connected 🎉
Step 3: Test the Connection
The best way to confirm everything is working is to use the test tool.
Click the Test leads with Facebook Lead Ads Testing Tool link to be redirected to:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/lead-ads-testing/
A Meta page will then pop up
Select the page you want to test
Choose a form type
Click Create Lead
Then go back into Rotor and check your leads.

If you see a dummy data lead, the integration is working correctly.
How Leads Are Tagged
When a lead comes in from Meta:
It is automatically given a source of “Meta Ads” by default
It is automatically tagged with the form name
Additional form data is sent to the lead notes
If you check the test submission, you’ll see which form generated the lead.
This is extremely helpful if you're running multiple offers.
For example:
One form offers $100 Off
Another offers 50% Off
Another offers a Free Service
You can build automations based on the specific form tag.
Using Tags for Automations
Because Rotor automatically tags leads with the form name, you can:
Create automations triggered by Form A
Create separate automations triggered by Form B
Send different follow-up messages based on the offer
This is especially useful if you’re running ads for different services like:
Christmas Lights
Pressure Washing
Lawn Care
Window Cleaning
Each service can have its own form and its own follow-up sequence.
Customizing Lead Sources & Additional Tags
If you want to adjust the lead source:
Go back into Integrations
Select the Meta connection
Choose a different lead source (these come from your Customization settings)
You can also add additional automatic tags.
For example:
“February”
“March Promo”
“Spring Campaign”
Once saved, all leads from that Meta connection will automatically receive those tags.
Viewing Meta Analytics in Rotor
Once your account is connected, you can track performance directly in Rotor.
Go to Analytics
Click Meta
Select the desired time period you want to see with the dropdown
If you just connected your account, you may not see much data yet. As campaigns run and leads come in, your data will populate here.

Setting Your Conversion Criteria
For ROI tracking to work properly, you must define what counts as a conversion.
Inside the Meta Analytics section:
Click the gear icon on the Converted card
Choose which pipeline stage counts as a conversion
For example:
If you want conversions counted when a lead moves into your pipeline, “Sold”, select that stage.
From that point forward:
Every lead moved into Sold on the leads page will count as a conversion in your Meta analytics
Inputting the Projected Value on those leads will ensure that the return on ad spend (ROAS) will calculate correctly and automatically
Tracking ROI Inside Rotor
Once:
Leads are syncing
Ad spend is syncing
Conversion criteria is set
You’ll be able to:
Track cost per lead
Track number of conversions
Measure return on ad spend
Compare performance across campaigns
As real leads move through your pipeline, your campaign data will become more meaningful.

Set your conversion criteria to ensure ROI tracking is accurate
Use form tags strategically for segmented follow-up
