Facebook Lead Ads Node Not Retrieving Campaign, Adset, and Ad Details
The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.
Want to use over 200+ MCP servers inside your coding tools like Cursor?
I am using the Facebook Lead Ads node in n8n, but it isn’t retrieving all the data I need.
I need to obtain complete details including ad, adset, and campaign information. I tried disabling the “simplify output” feature, yet the returned data remains unchanged.
Is this a limitation of the node, or is there an alternative configuration to access the full campaign details?
Here are my current settings:
- n8n version: 1.74.3
- Database (default: SQLite): Default
- n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): Default
- Running n8n via: Cloud
- Operating system: Windows

Based on the documentation, the Facebook Lead Ads Trigger node only receives the webhook payload that Facebook sends—which contains the lead information, not the complete ad, adset, and campaign details. Disabling “simplify output” only changes the formatting of the data available in the webhook payload; it does not cause additional details to be included.
If you need the extra details beyond what the webhook provides, you’ll have to make additional API calls (for example, using an HTTP Request node) to Facebook’s Marketing API using the IDs from the lead data. This way, you can fetch the full details (such as ad, adset, and campaign information) separately.
In summary, it isn’t a misconfiguration—it is the way the Facebook Lead Ads Trigger (and Facebook’s webhook itself) works. Consider extending your workflow with further API calls to obtain the additional details you require.
