as contacts automatically. You connect by signing in with Facebook — there's no app
secret or token (technical codes developers use) to enter.

## FAQ

  <Accordion title="Do I need Meta Business verification?">
    You connect via Facebook login. If your ad account requires business
    verification to access lead data, complete that in Meta Business settings first.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does it capture both Facebook and Instagram leads?">
    Yes — Lead Ads from both become contacts.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do I enter an app secret?">
    No. You connect by signing in with Facebook, and Autocampaign AI handles the
    technical details.
