It may be qualified or unqualified. It may attend a demo, enter the sales pipeline, or eventually become a customer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where custom <a href=\"https:\/\/easyinsights.ai\/blog\/what-is-facebook-capi-conversions-api\/\">CAPI<\/a> events become important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Custom_CAPI_Events_Cant_Be_Directly_Selected_in_the_Same_Way\"><\/span>Why Custom CAPI Events Can&#8217;t Be Directly Selected in the Same Way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A custom CAPI event can represent an event that happens deeper in your funnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, your CRM may identify a lead as Qualified Lead after your sales team reviews it. You can send that event back to Meta using Conversions API.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, with the updated backend requirements, marketers cannot simply run an Instant Form-only campaign and expect to select that custom CAPI event as the optimization event in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This creates a disconnect between the lead-generation experience and the business outcome you actually want to optimize for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Additional read:<\/strong> <a
