Verdicts

FetchIQ

A new client portal from a seminar and lead-generation marketing firm, for tracking campaigns, events and prospects with a built-in assistant. Only people signed in through the company's single sign-on can use it. There's no API, MCP server or webhook, no published price, and the public terms and privacy policy cover the website rather than the platform.

Meta Marketing API

Reporting, campaign, budget, audience and creative endpoints sit behind ads_read and ads_management scopes, with a validate_only option and sandbox ad accounts for checking a change before it spends. New apps are held to a score of 60 per ad account, with a 300-second block at the limit, and the documented requests pass the access token as a parameter.

Before you call either

FetchIQ

  1. Don't try to call FetchIQ. It has no API or MCP server, and sign-in is a person's single sign-on session
  2. Ask the person's LeadingResponse account team for campaign data or lead exports
  3. Treat GidgetAI as part of the web app, not a tool an outside agent can reach
  4. Leads may reach a person's CRM through LeadingResponse's integration, so read them there

Meta Marketing API

  1. Put a version in every path, such as /v26.0/act_<AD_ACCOUNT_ID>/campaigns. Unversioned Marketing API calls fail
  2. Create campaigns, ad sets and ads with status=PAUSED, and send execution_options=["validate_only"] first to test a write without making it
  3. Ask for ads_read alone when the task is reporting. ads_management can change budgets and activate spend
  4. Read X-Business-Use-Case-Usage and X-Ad-Account-Usage after each call and wait for estimated_time_to_regain_access on errors 17, 613 and 80004
  5. Change an ad set budget at most four times an hour and an account spending limit at most ten times a day
