Source Info

  • The Facebook Ads Source is an Object Cloud source. This means that it sends information (traits) about a thing that exists and persists over time, such as a person or company, and which can be updated over time. Data from this source can only be exported directly to a warehouse, but it can then be used for further analysis.
Facebook is one of the most efficient ways to advertise online. Take your company’s analysis to the next level by adding Facebook Ads as a Source to Innkeepr.

​
Getting Started

  1. From your workspace’s page, click Sources and then Browse.
  2. Choose Facebook Ads.
  3. Click Connect and then Connect to OAuth into Facebook.
  4. Select which accounts you would like to sync.
  5. Enter your Pixel ID(s). If you have multiple pixels, separate them with a semicolon.
  6. Enter your Ad ID parameter — this is the URL parameter name you’re using to capture ad.id in your Meta tracking template.
  7. Click Save.

​
Permissions

If your Facebook user has read permissions to Facebook Ads account’s data, you should be able to use your account for the Source.

​
Sync Components

Facebook Ads has a sync component, which means we’ll make requests to their API on your behalf on a 3 hour interval to pull the latest data into Innkeepr. In the initial sync, we’ll grab all the Facebook objects (and their corresponding properties) according to the Collections table below. 

​
Collections

Collections are the groupings of resources we pull from your source. In your warehouse, each collection gets its own table.
