Meta launches a "Maximise leads through messages" conversion event
Meta has added a new conversion event to messaging campaigns, "Maximise the number of leads through messages," which was surfaced by Matias Axel Ramayo. Alongside the existing goal of maximising purchases through messages, advertisers can now optimise for lead generation, with a form on both Instagram and WhatsApp that people can complete and that counts as a conversion in the campaign.
What changed
The addition reflects Meta's continued build-out of WhatsApp as a conversion surface, sitting alongside the agent capability now available inside the chat itself. It gives lead-generation advertisers a native messaging objective rather than a workaround through purchase optimisation.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means lead-gen advertisers can run messaging campaigns optimised for completed forms rather than for purchases or generic conversations. Worth testing the new objective where WhatsApp or Instagram messaging already drives enquiries, and tracking lead quality against your existing lead forms.
