“I am having an conflict with Meta ads using instant forms, integrating into Hubspot (starter plan), in terms of creating a single & reusable workflow for ALL the adverts running.”source ↗
“Hubspot considers each ad to be unique, therefore a single campaign with 10 ads needs 10 simple workflows (of the same) to be set each time.”source ↗
“Meta's instant forms are a pain with the lower HubSpot tiers because they don't act like normal forms at all. You're right that each ad gets treated as its own source, so the workflow duplication gets old fast.”source ↗
