How Zapier Users Can Handle Facebook Offline Conversions Changes
Meta has made platform changes that affect how Facebook Offline Conversions works with Zapier. This guide explains what is changing, how it impacts your existing automations, and what actions you should take to keep your workflows running smoothly.
What Changed for Facebook Offline Conversions and Zapier
Meta recently introduced updates that impact third-party tools that connect to Facebook Offline Conversions. Because of these platform-level changes, Zapier can no longer maintain the existing integration in the same way it did before.
The changes affect:
- Existing connections between your Facebook account and Offline Conversions
- How new data can be sent to Offline Conversions via Zapier
- The long-term availability of this specific integration
These updates come directly from Meta and apply broadly to tools that connect to Facebook Offline Conversions, not only to Zapier.
How This Impacts Your Current Zapier Zaps
If you currently use Facebook Offline Conversions with Zapier, your zaps may be affected depending on how they are configured and when they were created.
Existing Zapier zaps using Facebook Offline Conversions
For existing zaps that rely on the Facebook Offline Conversions integration, you may experience one or more of the following issues:
- Errors when sending offline conversion events to Facebook
- Unexpected zap failures or timeouts
- Limited ability to modify or reconnect the Facebook Offline Conversions account within Zapier
If your automations are critical to ad reporting or optimization, you should plan to review and adjust your workflows as soon as possible.
New Zapier zaps with Facebook Offline Conversions
Because of Meta’s changes, new setups using Facebook Offline Conversions through Zapier may be restricted or unavailable. You may find that:
- The Facebook Offline Conversions app is limited or removed from the app list
- Authentication fails when you try to connect a new Facebook account
- Some actions do not behave as previously documented
This behavior is a result of upstream platform changes, not an isolated issue with Zapier itself.
Steps to Take in Zapier if You Use Offline Conversions
Follow these steps to reduce disruption and keep your reporting as accurate as possible while using Zapier.
1. Review all Zapier zaps using Facebook Offline Conversions
- Log in to your Zapier account.
- Open your dashboard and filter for zaps that use Facebook Offline Conversions.
- Identify which zaps are business-critical (for example, ad ROI tracking or sales attribution).
Flag any zaps that are showing recent errors or have stopped running. These should be your top priority for updates.
2. Check recent Zapier task history for errors
- For each affected zap, open the Task History in Zapier.
- Look for recent tasks that failed when sending data to Facebook Offline Conversions.
- Note any error messages, as they may indicate that the integration has been impacted by Meta’s changes.
Use this information to decide which workflows need to be updated or replaced.
3. Plan alternatives to Facebook Offline Conversions in Zapier
Because the integration is affected by Meta’s platform updates, consider alternative ways to send conversion data or track performance while still using Zapier as your automation hub. Possible options include:
- Using other Facebook or Meta integrations that remain available
- Sending conversion data to a CRM or analytics platform instead
- Exporting data from your source apps and handling upload to Facebook manually or via another supported channel
When evaluating alternatives, focus on what is essential to your offline conversion tracking and how Zapier can still automate surrounding steps.
Important Notes About Zapier and Meta’s Policy Changes
These changes originate from Meta’s decisions regarding Facebook Offline Conversions and how external tools can access that feature. Zapier must comply with these platform rules, which can limit or remove certain capabilities.
Key points to keep in mind:
- The issue is related to Facebook Offline Conversions as a product, not to all Meta or Facebook integrations.
- Other Meta-related apps in Zapier may remain available and continue working as usual.
- Changes may roll out over time, so your experience could vary based on when you set up your zaps.

Best Practices for Managing Meta Integrations in Zapier
When platform-level changes occur, it is helpful to follow a few best practices so your Zapier account remains stable and your data remains trustworthy.
Monitor Zapier account notifications
Zapier regularly communicates important updates through in-app notifications and help center articles. Make a habit of checking:
- Zap-specific alerts in your dashboard
- Emails from Zapier about app deprecations or changes
- The help center for any updates related to Facebook and Meta products
Document your Zapier workflows
Keep a simple record of how your critical Zapier workflows are set up, especially those that touch Facebook or ad reporting:
- Which apps are connected to each zap
- Which triggers and actions you rely on most
- Which conversions or KPIs are impacted if a zap stops working
This documentation makes it easier to adjust your setups when a specific integration, like Facebook Offline Conversions, is changed or removed.
Test changes in Zapier before relying on them
When you switch to an alternative app or method for tracking conversions, test your new Zapier zap thoroughly before depending on the data. Run sample tasks, verify event delivery, and compare the results against your existing reports.
