When ad accounts are first connected, all active/running campaigns on the ad account import into AdEspresso. Completed campaigns from the past 3 months are also imported. Imported campaigns do not count towards your AdEspresso plan's spend limit.
In your account settings you can disable or enable automatic importing for any other campaigns that get created outside of AdEspresso.
If you have an Instagram account connected to your Facebook ad account, promoted Instagram post campaigns will also import.
To import Facebook campaigns
- Click Settings in the top-right corner.
- Click the Facebook Ad Accounts tab.
- Toggle the Import active campaigns switch to Yes for each Facebook ad account you want to import campaigns for.
The import can take up to 1 hour before all the campaigns are imported and analytics are correctly synced.
