Is there a smart way to pull through users information,eg telephone, postcode etc from a Facebook conversation (ad). Leads that land in our inbox provide us with the key details we need but I cant edit any of the fields on the right hand side? any ideas?

@roy s11​, I believe you might have some knowledge about how to integrate Facebook ads with Intercom that might help @cameron f​?

I also have the same question. I'm not able to easily update additional details. For example, I would like to map the company name when I add the leads.

 

I had asked the same question on Intercom Messenger 5 days back. But, as usual the support on the Messenger is a black hole -- all your questions get sucked in and no answer ever comes out of it.

@roy s11 We are running Lead Generation ad campaigns on FB and we get contacts in CSV format from those campaigns. ​I'm looking to import name, email and map the company name.
