How to connect Bing Ads to Databox

To connect a Bing Ads Account in Databox, go to  Data Sources > + New connection. Type Bing Ads in the search bar and click on the green Connect button. 

This will open the Sign in window, which is where you will be prompted to sign in to your Microsoft account and authorize the Databox app. 

How much historical data is synced when you first connect Bing Ads to Databox?

When you connect a new Bing Ads Data Source in Databox, 3 months worth of historical data is initially synced. 

Certain Metrics may have more or less historical data available. For more information about the amount of historical data available for a specific Metric, please contact our Support Team at [email protected]

Pro Tip: Once your Bing Ads Data Source is connected and actively syncing data, we store the data that's collected in our own database. This allows us to accumulate more data over time as more data syncs are made so that you can report on more historical Bing Ads data in your Databox reports. Learn more here. 

What time zone does Bing Ads data sync in? 

Bing Ads data is synced in UTC.

 Navigate to Databoards > Template Library

4
 To pull the Template into your Account and re-populate it with your own Bing Ads data, click Use Template

 Select the appropriate Bing Ads Data Source from the drop-down list to complete the process. The Databoard will be re-populated with data from the selected Bing Ads Account and can be found on the  Databoards page
Pro Tip: Once the Databoard is available on the Databoards page, it is completely disconnected from the public Template. Therefore, you can further customize this Databoard to meet your specific needs using the Designer.
