Reporting on Facebook Catalog Ads

Updated 

Facebook creates different posts for different Products picked from the Product Catalog. In Sprinklr, you can view actionable insights and comments for Products (from Catalog) with the ability to filter and pivot on all product dimensions (category, size, etc.) as well as analyze comments for a particular product.

You can analyze data in the following areas:

FAQs

No. Only the comments linked to currently running Ad Posts and its child posts will be pulled in.

  • Only the comments which happen after the required setup in Sprinklr will have the Facebook Catalog dimensions like Facebook Product Name, Facebook Retailer Ids, etc. associated with them. Thus the old comments will not show up while viewing the widget data.

  • Also, Product Catalogs need to be present in Sprinklr for us to be able to associate Facebook Catalog dimensions with the individual Comments. If the relevant Business Manager is not added in Sprinklr (which has the Product Catalogs in it), then you will just have comments for those DPA ads.

Due to API limitations, you cannot reply to the Dynamic Post Comments.

Currently, the Dynamic Ad Post comments are only available for the e-commerce catalog type.

If you are interested in this capability for any other Catalog type, please work with your Success Manager.
