Meta Ads

Connect your Meta ad account and Orwel pulls your Facebook and Instagram campaigns with their daily spend, then ties each lead to its campaign through the campaign id in the landing URL. Meta campaigns appear in the same Campaigns screen as Google Ads.

Orwel only reads from Meta (ads_read). It never creates, edits or pauses ads.

Connect

1. Open Integrations

   In the dashboard go to Integrations and find Meta Ads under data sources.

2. Connect

   Click Connect, log in with the Facebook account that manages your ads, and grant access to the ad accounts you want Orwel to read.

3. Pick the ad account

   Choose the ad account for this workspace.

What gets synced

Orwel syncs every 3 hours. The Sync button on the Campaigns screen runs it on demand.

How leads are tied to campaigns

Meta has no click level report, so the click id it adds (fbclid) can prove that a visit came from a Meta ad but cannot be joined with spend. The join uses the campaign id in utm_id:

1. In each ad (or at the campaign level), set URL parameters to:

   Copy

   utm_source=meta&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign={{campaign.name}}&utm_id={{campaign.id}}
   

2. The SDK captures them on landing and sends them with the conversion. See Attribution.

3. The sync matches utm_id with the Meta campaign id. If utm_id is missing, it falls back to a campaign whose name matches utm_campaign exactly.

utm_id keeps working when you rename a campaign; utm_campaign does not.
