Meta does not allow editing of already published lead forms - so getting the form right before it goes live matters. ESC Hub has added draft support for Meta lead forms so you can build, review, and finalise at your own pace.

What's changed

You can now save a Meta Lead Form as a draft directly from the Facebook Lead Form builder inside Ad Manager. Instead of creating and publishing immediately, click Save as Draft to store the form in an incomplete state until it is ready.

Draft forms appear in the lead form selection dropdown with a visible Draft badge and a created timestamp, so you can see exactly where each one sits. You can reopen a draft at any time, continue editing, complete any field mappings, and publish when the form is fully configured.

Campaign validation now also detects draft or incomplete forms before publishing. If you select a draft or unmapped form during campaign setup, ESC Hub will flag it with a clear message rather than letting you proceed with a form that is not ready.

Why it matters

Building a lead form in one sitting is not always realistic - especially when field mappings, approvals, or team reviews are involved. Draft support means you can start a form, save your progress, and come back to it without losing your work or accidentally publishing something incomplete.
