Facebook Leads Ads account Trigger - does not connect to FB

Describe the problem/error/question

When I hit the “Connect my account” button on the Facebook leads Ads account trigger, a popup of Meta opens up, I get an error.

Steps I have taken:

  • Went to: https://developers.facebook.com/
  • Created an app
  • App details step: name & email
  • App use case: Capture & manage ad leads with marketing API
  • Business: The business portfolio that has access to the page i would like to get the leads from.
  • Requirements. Nothing to select as it says “No requirements identified. This may change if you add more to this app.”

Under Facebook login for business > settings
I added the callback url under “Valid OAuth Redirect URIs”, pressed save and also checked the “check URI” at the top, which came back as valid.

Then I want to app settings > basic

  • copied the app id and app secret and added it to N8N.

I pressed “connect my account” and I got an error.

I also tried to publish it. And I also tried adding a configuration with ALL permissions. Neither made a difference.

What is the error message (if any)?

In the Facebook popup to connect it says:
This content isn’t available right now

Invalid Scopes: pages_manage_metadata. This message is only shown to developers. Users of your app will ignore these permissions if present. Please read the documentation for valid permissions at: Permissions Reference - Graph API - Documentation - Meta for Developers

Please share your workflow

Just a single "Facebook leads ads trigger" node.

Share the output returned by the last node

Information on your n8n setup

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):

Fixed… Not an n8n issue.
Go to use cases, click on customize button on “Capture manage ad leads with marketing api”. allow “pages_manage_metadata”
