How can I identify the Source as Facebook or Instagram?

To identify the platform from which your lead is coming from you can match the Facebook field called Platform inside your desired destination field during the Fields Matching step of your bridge. For example, in the image below the user will receive the lead's Platform information inside his CRM's provider name field: CI6J591MzMapfaPjaYFBVP88P1ScF4Eugg

Why do I receive the Campaign ID instead of the Campaign Name?

If you receive the Campaign ID instead of the Campaign Name is because the Ad Form connected to the bridge is associated to a Campaign owned by another Ad Account and not by the one connected to the bridge. This happens because the Campaign is associated with a single Ad Account, while the Ad Form could be visible from different Ad Accounts because the Ad Form is related to a Facebook Page. In this case, the best practice is to use a single Ad Account for a Campaign and Ad Form.
