Facebook Ads

Last updated on Mar 05, 2024

Facebook Ads allows marketers to retrieve statistics about their ads, ad sets, and campaigns running on Facebook.

Hevo uses the Facebook Marketing API to replicate your Facebook Ads data into the desired Destination database or data warehouses for scalable analysis. For this, you must authorize Hevo to access data from your Facebook Ads account.

Note: From Release 2.19.3, Hevo has upgraded to v18.0 of the Marketing API. You may need to reauthorize Hevo for existing Pipelines.

You can also ingest data from your Instagram Ads account using the Facebook Ads connector. Instagram Ads follows the same schema as the Facebook Ads connector and offers the same data replication settings.


Source Considerations

  • Facebook Ads allows fetching data up to the past three years. Hence, you can change the offset using the Change Position action only within the past three years; beyond this, the API fails.

Limitations

  • This integration does not support replicating data for reviews and pages. Hevo has a separate integration for Facebook Page Insights that can be used to fetch page and post insights.
