Microsoft Advertising
Sign-in: Microsoft Advertising
Loads into the Ads data, next to the other connectors of this kind: in Explorer, on boards, for the AI analyst and over the API.
How to connect
- On the Sources page, in the Accounts block, connect a Microsoft Advertising account.
- In the project's source, choose what to load: the ad account.
- Click Load data. After that the workspace schedule loads it every day.
More about connecting accounts

- Daily statistics cover the last 36 months: that's how long Microsoft keeps them
