Watch out for

Meta Graph API tokens expire quickly so you must implement automatic token refresh logic to prevent authentication failures.
Google Sheets rate limits can block writes if the workflow runs too frequently, add delays between write operations.
Hardcoding access tokens in the workflow is insecure so use n8n credentials or environment variables for sensitive data.
API errors return generic messages which confuse debugging so always log the raw HTTP response status code and body.
