Facebook is changing its Canvas ads’ name to ‘Instant Experience’, and adding a range of capabilities that go along with the new name and what the ad solution offers.

The platform already provides a range of templates for Instant Experience that fit different businesses’ objective, namely Instant Storefront, Instant Lookbook, Instant Customer Acquisition and Instant Storytelling. It is also adding a new template to the range, called Instant form, which enables brands to ease the process by which people share their contact information.

The social media giant has also revealed that businesses can now integrate the Facebook Pixel and third-party pixels into their Instant Experience ad.
