What Is an Instant Form?

An Instant Form is a Meta-native form used to collect lead information.

In plain English

It opens within the app when someone taps a lead ad. Contact fields pre-fill from the profile, and you can add your own questions.

The form settings materially change lead quality. A higher-intent review step and one or two custom questions produce fewer, better leads.

What to know

Opens in-app
No page load.
Pre-filled contact fields
Which drives volume.
Custom questions
Which improve qualification.
Intent settings
A review step raises quality.

Why it matters

Two settings do most of the work: switching to the higher-intent version and adding a question only a real prospect would answer. Both reduce volume and improve outcomes.

Common mistakes

×Contact fields only, no qualification.
×Too many questions, collapsing completion.
×Default lower-intent setting left in place.
×No follow-up sequence connected to it.

FAQs

How many questions should I add?

One or two that qualify. More reduces completion sharply.

How do I improve lead quality?

Use the higher-intent setting and add a qualifying question.
