Additional Information
- Due to an API limitation Custom Metrics built using the Query Builder for Facebook Ads (Pixels) will have 28 days of historical data available once the metric is being used in your account.
- Due to technical limitations, it is not currently possible to filter Custom Conversions by Ad, Campaign, or other Dimensions using the Query Builder for Facebook Ads (Pixels).
- Due to how Facebook stores Custom Conversion data in their API, data may not be immediately available for the days closest to the current date in Databox. For example, if you're looking at data for the month to date, week to date, today, yesterday, and possibly the day prior may have incomplete data available.
This is the expected behavior of this integration. Please ensure those reviewing your dashboards using Facebook Ads Pixel data are aware that data delays may happen with current dates and this API is not "real-time". - Learn how to verify Custom Conversion data in Databox vs Facebook Ads here.
