N8n - Meta

Hey everyone! Started using n8n a few days ago, spent i think over 5 hours to get an extremely basic automation going without success.

Meta lead -> google sheet + gmail notification.

I use meta app thingy,

2 clients, for 1 it's all good, it works in terms of testing, waiting now for real leads to come through and see if they get updated.

For the 2nd client i am in the n8n live test event and whenever i sent a preview/test/real lead from Meta lead test, i get nothing on n8n end, i went through all the access thingies, and at one point yesterday it DID show the lead test.

Fast forward today, i saw i was accidentally using some wrong auth, from the other client.

I might miss out on some info i need to give you but my question is:

The other client has his own meta business + ad account i have access to, everything works.

For this client, everything is on my end but i did not verify my meta business (it's on my dad's facebook, and since i have been running ads on it for the past 4 years i don't wanna add any of my credentials, i got banned on my other meta account in 2020)

Could it be that that because i don't have a published app (i have to go through some use cases,etc) this won't work?

Meta does obviously send the lead but n8n does not get it, and it shows no errors, any help would be appreciated.

Multiple destinations in 1 pmax.

Hey everyone. Could we get away with having 1 PMAX , 2 asset groups, each asset group sending to a different service with a different LP?

And what about search?

For specific reasons I will need to test this approach, 1 pmax or 1 search with 2 diff services/lp's.

Leads (+view content) vs Awareness

Hey everyone!

Would you say setup number #1 is better overall than setup #2?

  1. Campaign main objective - leads - adset conversion event - view content.

  2. Campaign main objective - awareness- ThruPlay views

Client said he wants to just purely show the videos and then retargeting them down the line.

If i have setup 1. Obj leads + view content (and send people to his website) wouldn't that audience be significantly higher in quality when we retarget?

He just wants people to watch the video, that is not the objective + event for setup 1, but we CAN retarget people that watched X% anyway, and since for those video views we pay more than the cheapest awareness campaign, wouldn't that help more in the retargeting lead quality?

Appreciate it!

Bad tracking setup?

Hello! Quick question regarding tracking, maybe it's a bad setup on my end or something else?

I have a client that wants me to send traffic to 2 LP's. (it's not my usual setup where I make the LP's, it's somewhat messy, he has a MAIN WEBSITE page with a FORM ON IT + a secondary LP + a form on it)

  1. Main website page + form -> people that submit that -> end on a thank you page with the url blabla dot com /thank-you

  2. Secondary LP + form -> people that submit that -> end on a thank you page with the url blabla dot com /landing-thank-you

Event for 1 (main website page) -> fires when people submit that form and land on page /thank-you and setting is "MATCH WHEN URL STARTS WITH - blabla dot com/thank-you

Event for 2 (secondary landing page) -> fires when people submit that form and land on page /landing-thank-you and setting is "MATCH WHEN URL STARTS WITH - blabla dot com/landing-thank-you.

Then Made a separate goal for each events and added that to the specific campaigns.

1 day passes and when i check ALL CONV on general view, i see that both the Main website campaign and the seconday LP campaign have a conversions event that is "MAIN WEBSITE.

Are there multiple reasons this could happen?

Main question mainly would be if this setups is inherently bad on my end and i should 100% change it, OR it's a good setup but it's probably a URL issue on their end somewhere?

Or should i change from "URL STARTS WITH" to "URL IS"?

I don't know if there could be a user-specific code that is added when a lead jumps on the page, and then the page wouldn't be the exact "URL IS" because of the extra code.

Thoughts?

Would really appreciate your help!

▲ 1 r/stripe

I'm a contractor. US client pays me out of their Stripe balance via ACH to my US bank account. Payment was supposed to land last Friday (Feb 13). Here's the timeline:

  • Thursday: Client confirms it'll go out Friday.
  • Friday morning: I check in. Client says it'll come through later that day, just toward the end of the afternoon.
  • Friday evening: Nothing arrives.
  • Today (Monday Feb 16): I follow up. Now the client says the dashboard is listing the arrival as Feb 17 — but tells me the funds tend to actually land the previous evening, so I should expect it tonight.

So every time a deadline passes, a new "oh but actually it works like this" detail gets added.

My questions:

  1. Does Stripe really show an arrival date that funds typically hit the day before? My understanding is that the date in the dashboard is an estimate, and slight delays are common — not the funds routinely showing up a full day early. Am I wrong?
  2. Is "late afternoon arrival" a real ACH thing with Stripe payouts, or is that just a vague stall? I know banks process ACH in batches, but is end-of-day landing actually common in practice?
  3. If they had the balance sitting there and genuinely wanted to send it today, couldn't they just trigger an Instant Payout and have it land in 30 minutes?
  4. What screenshot would actually prove a payout is in flight vs. invented? I'm thinking the Payouts tab showing an "in transit" entry with an estimated arrival date — does that exist on the sender's side or am I mixing up concepts?

Hey everyone! New here!

Long story short, i have been in the marketing space since about 2019 (while i finished medschool but now i don't want to continue on the medical path, worst case, it's plan B )

With that being said i was never deeeep into the automations / n8n / ai space since i thought i would just run ads /lead gen /crm for a few more years then get hired as a doctor.

Well, now that i would like to stay in the online space, I have one main question since i'm about to automate some stuff for some new clients.

What's with all the Ai agents?

Will start researching obviously but when someone has been living it, breathing it, that person can give a 1-2 sentence suggestion that might take 1-2-3-4 hours of research (maybe?)

I wanted to get in on n8n.

Why would i build an Ai agent to do what n8n can? Price alone?

What am i losing out on for not jumping in on ai agents?

What if i just keep using gohighlevel, some n8n and just run ads?

Won't there be platforms giving me the same functionality as having 1-5 ai agents?

Doesn't it take weeks/months to build something that i could just as easily spent $25/m for and have it ready in 10 minutes?

Just want to get info on why ai agents? Won't other big corporations build ai agents/solutions that i will be able to access soon for cheap?
