Loader Facebook Audience
Overview
Facebook loader component is used for setting Facebook as a destination within Meiro Integrations.
Requirements
To use the Facebook loader one needs to authorize the Facebook account. Authorization can be done in 2 ways:
- The user who has access to an Ad account in Facebook Business Manager and has access to Audiences click on the “Authorize” button in the same browser where one logged in in his Facebook Ad account.
- Authorization link can be copied by an analyst working in Meiro Integrations and sent for authorization to a person who has the required level of access and should open the link in the same browser where one logged in in his Facebook Ad account.

Data In/ Data Out
| Data In |
It is required to have data in the bucket Data In in CSV format in In order for loading data properly make sure that column names are in the right format.
All column names must be present (even if left empty) in this order: extern_id,first_name,last_name,phone_number,email,mobile_advertiser_id At least one of the identifier columns should be filled in: email, phone_number, mobile_advertiser_id.
External_id can not be empty, to fill in this column you can use customer_entity_id, which will be available after exporting a segment from CDP.
Customer Audience has 2 steps: create the audience itself, then fill it with the right data. When it fails on step 2 as for example data was structured in an invalid way (with other order of columns), the audience is still created but without the data. |
