Tips
Facebook Data Assistant matches the data to the corresponding ad campaign according to the UTM parameters attached to the store order source so that you can accurately match the order and the corresponding ads.
Note
- Only one store can be linked to a Facebook advertising account. However, a store can have multiple Facebook ad accounts, and the performance data of the store can be displayed and reported in multiple Facebook advertising accounts. Before linking an advertising account to a store, make sure to correctly link it with the associated store.
- The Facebook data assistant is capable of adding UTM parameters to newly created ads and existing ads data. Once the function is enabled and the parameter is added, the tool will immediately start recording all reported data.
- Be sure not to delete the .zip file on your computer, as this will invalidate the Facebook Data Assistant.
