Stage automation

AutomationConfiguration available
Automation SequenceSelect an automation sequence that has already been created. If you do not have one, create it from the Automation Sequence tab in Settings first. You can use different template messages at different stages; the message is sent when you manually activate the related stage.
Assign MemberAssign a team member to a specific stage. When you manually activate that stage, the selected member is assigned automatically. You can choose By Team or By Member.
Send NotificationsSend an email when you manually activate a specific stage. Select recipients By Team or By Role. Role options are Owner, Admin, Department Head, Team Head, and Team Member.
CAPISend the lead’s progress at this stage to Meta as an ad signal. Configure the event, action source, user data, and custom data for the CAPI node.

Conversions API (CAPI)

CAPI (Conversions API) is an ad-specific feature that sends event and step data directly to Meta. Place CAPI nodes at different stages—for example, after a reply, an interest signal, or a completed step. Each node tells Meta how far the lead progressed, giving you a clearer view of the stage and qualification depth reached by each lead. Meta can use these signals to optimize ad delivery toward people similar to higher-intent or completed/qualified leads, rather than treating every engagement as the same. CAPI is available in Lead Journey automation and as a chatbot node under Utility.
