What it does
Reads one Meta Instant Form in full: its questions, intro, privacy policy, custom disclaimer, thank-you screen and tracking parameters, plus its status and lead count. The form comes back in the same shape adsap_manage_instant_form takes, so it doubles as the starting point for a duplicate.
When to use it
- Use it to check what a form asks before you put it in a lead ad.
- Use it before duplicating a form, to see which sections you want to change.
- It needs the form’s
form_id. To list a Page’s forms, useadsap_list_meta_assetswithasset_typeinstant_forms. - It reads only. To create, duplicate or archive a form, use
adsap_manage_instant_form.
Worked example
You ask
“What does my Newsletter signup form ask for?”
The assistant calls adsap_get_instant_form
{
"ad_account_id": "act_1234567890",
"page_id": "100000000000001",
"form_id": "200000000000001"
}Adsap returns
The field names are the ones Adsap returns. The values are examples.

},
"warnings": []
}How to read it
form holds the content, status says whether the form can still be used in new ads (ACTIVE) or not (ARCHIVED), and leads_count is Meta’s running total. A CUSTOM question with options is multiple choice; without them it is a short answer.
warnings names anything the form uses that Adsap cannot recreate, such as conditional logic built in Meta. The form still works in ads; a duplicate made through Adsap would not carry those parts over.
Parameters
Descriptions are shortened from the tool schema. Your assistant sees the full text.
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
ad_account_id | string | Yes | Meta ad account (act_…) the Page is connected to. |
page_id | string | Yes | Numeric id of the Facebook Page that owns the form. |
form_id | string | Yes | Numeric id of the form, from adsap_list_meta_assets (asset_type instant_forms). |
Example prompts
- “Show me the questions on my Summer contest form.”
- “Which of my forms on the brand Page has a custom disclaimer?”
Notes
Reading a form uses no task. A form that does not belong to the page_id you passed comes back as FORM_NOT_ON_PAGE.
