Solution

How do you set up the connection to Facebook in ADvendio?

In order to start using the ADvendio Facebook Integration, you will need to set up a new record of Facebook connection in ADvendio. Please, follow the steps below:

In the main Advendio menu type “Connections”
Create a new connection record by selecting the option “New”
Select “Facebook” as a new record type

A screen “New connection: Facebook” will open, enter data in the field “User Name” (mandatory) and fill in all the rest information (if necessary) and press Save. It will create a new connection

Open the new Connection record you just created
In the right upper corner Click “Generate AdServer OAuth Token”
After your Facebook username pops up, click Submit
Under “Generate Authorization Code you will see “Link to Ad Server”
Log into Facebook, accept the authentication
Copy the token authorization code and paste it into the ADvendio field

Possible field values and explanation when creating a Facebook connection:

Field value	Description
User name	Enter your user name used for Ad server login
Additional User Name	You can enter additional user name
Access Token	The access token authorisation code will be stored here
Record Type: FACEBOOK	“Facebook” record type is shown by default as it previously selected in set up process
Active	You should check this box to activate the ad server login
Description	You can enter additional text to describe login record
Related Connection	You can use this field to connected with related AdServer

You can use a regular Facebook User Account, if you work with multiple people and they require access to different data (e.g. Advertiser Ad Accounts). You will need individual connection records for each user.

You have the option to create a Facebook System User only for the ADvendio Integration, please contact your Technical Account Manager or our Customer Success Team for help.

Data to import from Facebook

Once authentification is obtained and Facebook Connection is established for the next step we would strongly recommend importing Facebook data into ADvendio for smooth media advertising and buying activities.

By importing this data you can decide which Facebook information to use in ADvendio features and which to leave out.

This can be implemented at a later stage but is recommended to perform sooner to have the access to all capacities of the feature.

We would recommend importing the following information from the platform:

Import Advertisers (Ad Accounts)
Import Custom Audiences
Import Inventory (Promoted Pages in order to use them for certain bookings)
Import Geo-Targeting
