Facebook Ads

The Facebook Ads Collector enables you to monitor Facebook campaigns, including spend/cost monitoring, improving campaign efficiency, and competitive analysis.

Creating a Facebook Ads data source

  1. In the Navigation Panel, go to Integrations > Catalog.
  2. Use the Search box OR click the Business Packages filter to locate the data source.
  3. Hover over the Facebook Ads tile, and click Start.
    *Note: If the data source has already been used, a dialog is displayed in which you can select from one of the listed sources. Alternatively, create a new source by clicking Add a new source.
  4. In the displayed dialog, follow the onscreen instructions (for example, you will be prompted to login to the relevant Facebook account).

Creating a Facebook Ads stream query

If you have just created a Facebook Ads data source, skip to step 3.

  1. In the Sources page (accessed by clicking Integrations > Sources in the Navigation Panel), filter the list of streams to find the Facebook Ads source for which you want to create a stream query.
    *Note: The streams associated with that source are displayed. If the streams panel is empty, no stream queries exist for that source.

  2. Hover over the Facebook Ads data source, and click + New Stream. The Stream Query page is displayed.

  3. Define your stream query settings in the following sections:

    • Select Account: Choose the relevant account from the dropdown list.
    • Select Report Level: Choose the report level from one of Account, Ad, Adset, or Campaign.
    • Select Template: Select from the available templates.
    • Stream Properties: Define a name and owner for the stream.
    • Schedule: Click the pencil icon to define the Collect Since value (the time span of data to query while initializing a stream).
  4. Review the Stream Query page to confirm your chosen stream data.

  5. Click NEXT. The Stream Table is displayed; see Stream Tables for more information
