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

  1. On the Sources page, in the Accounts block, connect a Microsoft Advertising account.
  2. In the project's source, choose what to load: the ad account.
  3. Click Load data. After that the workspace schedule loads it every day.

More about connecting accounts

Source settings

  • Ad account ID — The number in the Microsoft Advertising address after aid= (not the alphanumeric account number)
  • Customer ID — The number in the address after cid=. If empty, it is found from the ad account ID

Checks on every load

  • Conversions count goals marked “Include in conversions”, like the Conversions column in Microsoft Advertising
  • Daily statistics cover the last 36 months: that's how long Microsoft keeps them
