Workflow not starting by itself

Hi I set up a workflow like this: Trigger (Facebook Lead Ads - New lead) ---> API (That catches the phone number and send a whatsapp message)
When i click in "save and send a test request" it works fine. But if someone register in the form the workflow doesn't activate by itself, i have to go there and click in "save and send a test request" everytime. My plan is free, I don't know if this is a problem. Can someone help? I will send the workflow link here: https://connect.pabbly.com/workflow/share/C0NXZVYNA2JQGQldUTxQM1hLCj1XC1ZsXExUXQdiXRs#

1. Did you turn on the workflow after setting it up?

2. FB lead Ads is a polling base integration, so it can take upto 5-10 min to actually get your lead data after form submission.

3. You can do testing using this tool - https://developers.facebook.com/tools/lead-ads-testing (by submitting dummy leads in the form and checking if they enter the workflow in 10 min or not)

Please enable your workflow so that it can work in live mode-
