What arrives

What LeadSender sends to Dealer CRM (ADF/XML)

One ADF/XML lead per Facebook lead, emailed to your CRM's lead address: the customer, the vehicle they want (buy, lease or test drive, new or used, year, make, model, trim, stock number, VIN and payment), their trade-in, your dealership as the vendor, and every unmatched answer in the comments.

Alongside the answers themselves, each lead carries the campaign and ad it came from, the Facebook Page name and the time it was submitted, so your CRM reports show which campaign actually sold the car, not just that a lead arrived. Every lead is also scored before delivery, so a salesperson isn't handed a dead number to chase down.

Who it suits

Who sends Facebook leads to Dealer CRM (ADF/XML)

Car dealerships and automotive agencies running Facebook and Instagram lead ads who want every shopper in the CRM their BDC already works from, the moment they submit the form.

This isn't a dealer platform trying to replace your CRM. It's the missing feed: Facebook and Instagram car leads turned into ADF/XML, the format your CRM already takes from your website and lead providers, with nothing else to configure.

This is the Facebook Lead Ads integration for ADF/XML, ADF, VinSolutions, DealerSocket, Elead and DriveCentric, so whichever name you know it by, the setup above is the same.

About the tools

Facebook Lead Ads, Dealer CRM (ADF/XML) and LeadSender

Facebook Lead Ads

Facebook Lead Ads, now Meta lead ads, let people send you their details through an instant form on Facebook or Instagram without leaving the app. The form pre-fills from their profile, which is why these ads convert well and why the leads go cold fast if nobody follows up.

Dealer CRM (ADF/XML)

ADF (Auto-lead Data Format) is the XML standard car dealer CRMs use to take in leads. Each store gets a lead email address from its CRM, and every ADF/XML email sent there becomes a lead, routed by the store's own rules.

LeadSender

LeadSender connects Facebook and Instagram lead ads to the tools you already use. It listens to Meta's leadgen webhook, maps each answer to a real field and delivers every lead in seconds, with a LeadScore quality check on the way. No Zapier, no CSV exports.

Can I map my own custom fields in Dealer CRM (ADF/XML)?

Yes. When you connect Dealer CRM (ADF/XML), LeadSender reads the live field list from your own account, standard fields and the custom ones you created, so you map each form answer to the field your team actually uses instead of to a fixed list.

Where do I find my CRM's lead email address?

Your CRM gives each store an address that turns ADF/XML emails into leads, the same kind your website and lead providers send to. Your CRM admin or rep can give you one for Facebook leads.

Does it send the vehicle and trade-in?

Yes. Match your form's questions to the vehicle's year, make, model, trim, stock number, VIN and payment, and to the trade-in's year, make, model and mileage. Answers you don't match go in the lead's comments.

Can I check the ADF/XML before it reaches my CRM?

Yes. Connect your own email address first and send a test lead to see the exact ADF/XML, then click Change account and connect your CRM's lead address.
