Update to Pinterest’s Hourly Data Retention Policy

Pinterest has updated its retention policy for hourly data. As of June 1, 2021, Pinterest will return hourly data from the most recent 13 months through their insights API. Note the following changes and impact to your Pinterest data within Sprinklr:

While viewing Pinterest Ads data broken down by Time of Day (hourly) dimension,

  • Existing accounts (added before June 1, 2021) will not be impacted as historical data is already stored in Sprinklr, and you can view hourly data for any time period through the lifetime of the campaigns.

  • For accounts that are newly added (after June 1, 2021), you can fetch historical data only up to 13 months before the date of adding the account.

  • For accounts that were deactivated earlier and re-added after June 1, 2021, the previously stored historical data (before deactivation) will be shown, and data can be backfilled only up to 13 months before the date of account re-addition.

Lookback Period Restriction for Pinterest Conversion Metrics

Pinterest has restricted the lookback period for Conversion metrics to October 17, 2019. Hence, Sprinklr will only fetch data for Pinterest Conversion metrics beyond October 17, 2019.

Snapchat Snapchat Icon

Facebook 37 Months Reporting Window API Change

As of 23rd February 2021, Facebook Reporting API will no longer allow Sprinklr to fetch ad insights data older than 37 months. This is being introduced to improve the comparability of ads performance data and provide quick access to the date ranges that matter most to advertisers.

Please refer to the Facebook Help Center for more information.

Note

This will not affect other aspects of ad campaigns, such as creatives or audiences. There will also be no change to how existing metrics are calculated.

How will this affect your data in Sprinklr Ads Reporting?

  • Ad Accounts that have been added in Sprinklr on or before 23rd February will continue to show Facebook data older than 37 months.

  • For any Ad Account that gets newly added into Sprinklr after 23rd February, Facebook data older than 37 months from the time of account addition will not be available.

  • For any Ad account that gets deactivated within Sprinklr (before or after 23rd February), all the historical data (before and during the period of deactivation) can be made available within Sprinklr only if the ad account gets re-added into Sprinklr within 37 months after deactivation.

What are the Actions required to continue to show data older than 37 months for your Accounts?

Kindly ensure that all your ad accounts are made available within Sprinklr before 23rd February 2021.
