Introduction introduction

Similar to our AdWords & Bing Ads integrations, our Facebook integration does two fundamental actions:

Auto-tag all Facebook Ads with a Marketo Measure parameter (_bf)
Download ad cost information across all active Facebook ads

How to Configure the Facebook Integration how-to-configure-the-facebook-integration

As for setup, there are seven steps to be completed within the Marketo Measure app.

Navigate to experience.adobe.com/marketo-measure and log in.
Under My Account select Settings.
Under Integrations select Connections.

Select Set Up New Ads Connection and a pop-up will appear. Select Facebook and log-in using your Facebook credentials.

NOTE
The person connecting the Facebook Ads account needs to be an admin within the Facebook Ads account.

Once Marketo Measure is connected to your Facebook account, click the pencil icon next to the account.
Within this view, move the ‘Auto-tagging?’ toggle to ‘Yes.’ Then select the check box found in the Learn More section to agree to the terms and conditions. Make sure the Auto-tagging toggle is still set to ‘Yes’.

NOTE

If you enable auto-tagging, we’ll reset the conversion history and social proof of all of the ads that we tag. We highly recommend exporting this data as a CSV before you enable auto-tagging.

Once you’ve enabled the integration, Marketo Measure will start downloading ad level cost into the Marketo Measure Marketing ROI Dashboard.

For the integration to properly work, you must enable auto-tagging on your Facebook account. This will allow our system to add a _bf parameter across all ad links. This process will add the new parameter on top of any other tracking parameters you’ve already added to your Facebook ads.
