Note: This is the new integration for Claravine + Meta Ads Manager. This new integration enables each data stream (Campaign, Ad Sets, Ad, Creatives) to live in separate templates. Benefits include less time required to update data sets, faster data loading, and more frequent data syncs. Use this new integration in all cases aside from passing a clickthrough URL from Claravine to Meta.

The Outbound URL Configuration is currently only supported through the Legacy Facebook Ads Manager Integration, but will be supported through the Meta Ads Manager Integration in the near future. Reach out to your Claravine customer success contact with any questions.

Claravine's platform integrates with Meta Ads Manager to import campaign metadata into a template and provide data governance on the campaign data taxonomy and naming conventions. Once the data has been imported, naming can be validated, modified, and populated back into the Meta Ads Manager platform. Additionally, it can be enriched with meta data and mapped into Adobe Analytics, Google Analytics, or any cloud storage account for further analysis.

• Configure the Integration

  1. Confirm that you are logged into Meta Ads Manager with the appropriate permissions and access for your marketing campaigns. We recommend the user has Manage Campaign permissions in Meta Business Manager, and access to all active campaigns.
     
     

  2. Navigate to Settings → Integrations → Accounts.
     The Accounts page displays.
     
     
     
     

  3. Click the plus sign (+) to create a new Account.
     The Create Connected Account page displays. 
     
     
     

  4. Enter the following information for the Account:
     • Name
     • Description
       We recommend entering a description to make it easier to determine the use of the Account when creating targets.
       
       
  5. Select Meta Ads Manager as the type.
     
     
  6. Click Connect Account.
     
     
     
     
  7. The Meta sync page opens asking to continue. Click Continue As ... or log into another account.
     ex. 
     
     
     
  8. Click Save.

  Note: If you receive an error stating that the account could not be linked to Facebook or Meta and that you should check your connection and try again, there is also a possibility that you're using a newly created Facebook or Meta account. Facebook/Meta states that "there is a 60-minute delay before new accounts can log in to any applications." This error can occur when your Facebook or Meta account has been created within the last 60 minutes, but it can take as long as 5-7 days for a new account to be able to log in.
