About

Facebook Lead Ads ships in the w6w first-party pack. It declares 2 actions, 2 health checks, and the host runs its code in a sandbox that never sees the credential.

Overview

Facebook Lead Ads pulls lead-generation data out of Meta’s ad platform — listing the lead forms configured on a Page, and reading the leads recently submitted through them, so a workflow can pick up new submissions without polling Facebook’s own Ads Manager or Business Suite by hand.

It’s a narrow, read-focused surface by design: two actions cover discovering which forms exist on a Page and fetching what came in through each one, which is exactly the shape a lead-routing workflow needs — get the new submissions as they arrive, then hand them off to a CRM, spreadsheet, or notification step elsewhere in the workflow rather than building that polling loop from scratch against the Graph API directly.

Build with Facebook Lead Ads

Three routes to the same 2 actions. The Workflow tab is generated from Facebook Lead Ads's own manifest and carries its real ids, so it is copy-pasteable; the Code and CLI examples are the same call for any action on any app, so every app-specific value in them is a blank you fill in.

List Lead Ads Forms

list-forms

List the lead-generation forms for a Facebook Page. Use the returned form id in `list-recent-leads`.

List Recent Leads

list-recent-leads

Poll a Facebook Lead Ads form for recently-submitted leads. Use `since` (unix seconds) to fetch only leads created after a checkpoint.

A workflow step names the app and the action, and the editor fills in the connection when you pick one. This is the Step shape from the workflow spec, carrying Facebook Lead Ads's real ids.

{
  "manifestVersion": "2",

Here are some of the things you can do

  • List Lead Ads Forms

    read
    list-forms
  • List Recent Leads

    read
    list-recent-leads

Every app-specific value here is a blank you have to fill in. An app action is reached through the connection that authenticates it, so the address is a connection id, not the app id — and connections belong to your account, so a public page cannot know yours. Create one for Facebook Lead Ads, then fill in the three blanks: conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID, the action key, and the parameters that action declares. The call itself is real — the shape is transcribed from the studio's own snippet builder, which prints the same kind of blanks — but nothing in it is specific to Facebook Lead Ads. The Workflow tab is where this app's real ids are.

Install
npm install @w6w/sdk
yarn add @w6w/sdk
pnpm add @w6w/sdk
deno add npm:@w6w/sdk
Code
import { W6wClient, isActionRun } from "@w6w/sdk";

// Reads W6W_BASE_URL and W6W_TOKEN from the environment when omitted.
const client = new W6wClient();

const envelope = await client.run({
  urn: "conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID",
  action: "list-recent-leads",
  payload: {
    formId: "<value>",
    // since: "<value>",
    // limit: "<value>",
    // cursor: "<value>",
  },
});

if (isActionRun(envelope)) console.log(envelope.value);
Install the CLI
npm install -g @w6w/cli
CLI
w6w run conn_YOUR_CONNECTION_ID --action list-recent-leads --payload '{"formId":"<value>"}'

Give an AI agent Facebook Lead Ads — without giving it Facebook Lead Ads's credentials. One MCP endpoint exposes every app, function and workflow the caller is entitled to, as tools it can discover and run. Access is granted per team while we onboard.

One tool call
{
  "name": "w6w_invoke",
  "arguments": {
    "ref": "app:io.w6w.facebook-lead-ads#list-forms",
    "input": {
      "pageId": "<pageId>"
    }
  }
}

Every tool names its target with a single ref. The app: form above doesn't name a connection at all — the host resolves which of the caller's Facebook Lead Ads connections to sign with, and refuses rather than guesses when the answer is ambiguous.

What the agent gets

Credentials it can't read

The token is attached host-side, at the moment of the call. It is never a tool argument, never in the model's context, and never in a transcript — so a prompt injection has nothing to exfiltrate.

A tool surface scoped to the caller

Tools are derived per end user from what that person has actually connected and is entitled to — not one shared bot identity carrying the union of everyone's access.

A durable workflow in one call

Multi-step work runs on the workflow engine and returns a run handle the agent can poll — retries, branching and state survive the conversation that started them.

Health-aware discovery

Facebook Lead Ads's declared health checks are on the surface too, so an agent can tell "the vendor is down" from "your credential expired" before it burns a retry on either.

The MCP surface is part of the hosted platform. Facebook Lead Ads itself is MIT, and the runtime that executes it is source-available (FSL).

Health checks

Facebook Lead Ads declares its own checks, so its health is a property of the app rather than something the host guesses at.
