Why Facebook leads stop syncing
Facebook Lead Ads leads travel through several steps before they reach GoHighLevel. The Facebook form collects the lead, the integration passes it across, the field mapping translates it into contact fields, and a workflow creates the contact and opportunity. A break at any step means the lead never arrives, and because the process is automated end to end, the failure is often silent.
What to check first
- Confirm leads are still coming through in Facebook itself.
- Check the integration connection is still authorized and active.
- Verify the correct Facebook form and page are connected.
- Review the field mapping between the Facebook form and the contact.
- Check whether a workflow is triggered to create the contact and opportunity.
Integration connection and permissions
The integration between Facebook and GoHighLevel depends on an authorized connection. If that connection expires, loses permissions or is revoked, leads stop syncing. Confirm the connection is active and that the Facebook account still has access to the relevant page and lead forms. A disconnected integration is the most common reason leads stop appearing after working previously.
Re-authorize the connection if needed. Once the connection is restored, recent leads may sync through, but leads collected during the gap may need to be imported manually.
Form and field mapping
Each Facebook lead form maps to GoHighLevel contact fields. If the mapping is incomplete or points to the wrong fields, the contact may be created with missing data or fail to create at all. Confirm every field on the Facebook form maps to a valid contact field, especially name, email and phone.
If you changed the Facebook form by adding or renaming a field, the mapping in GoHighLevel may be out of date. Update the mapping after any form change on the Facebook side.
Workflow trigger for inbound leads
Once the integration passes the lead, a workflow usually creates the contact and opportunity. If that workflow is inactive or its trigger is set incorrectly, the lead arrives but nothing happens with it. Confirm a workflow is set to trigger on the inbound Facebook lead and that it creates both a contact and an opportunity.
Duplicate contact handling
If a Facebook lead uses an email or phone that already exists in GoHighLevel, the integration may update the existing contact instead of creating a new one. That is often correct, but if the workflow expects a new contact to trigger follow-up, the existing contact may not get the new opportunity or the follow-up sequence. Decide how repeat leads should be handled and set the workflow accordingly.
Consent and data passing
Facebook Lead Ads include consent information that may need to pass into GoHighLevel. If your follow-up depends on consent fields, confirm those fields are mapped. A contact created without the consent field may be blocked by DND rules later, which looks like the workflow failed when really the consent data was missing.
How to test the integration
- 1.Submit a test lead through the Facebook lead form.
- 2.Confirm the lead appears in Facebook's lead manager.
- 3.Check whether the contact was created in GoHighLevel with the correct data.
- 4.Review the workflow history for the contact to confirm follow-up started.
- 5.Verify the opportunity was created in the correct pipeline and stage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why are my Facebook Lead Ads leads not appearing in GoHighLevel?
The most common causes are an expired or revoked integration connection, incomplete field mapping, or an inactive workflow that should create the contact and opportunity. Confirm the connection is authorized and that a workflow is set to trigger on inbound leads.
Why did my Facebook leads stop syncing suddenly?
Sudden failures usually point to the integration connection losing authorization or permissions. Re-authorize the connection and confirm the Facebook account still has access to the page and lead forms. Leads collected during the gap may need to be imported manually.
