Setting up a Facebook sync

Ometria passes the following fields to Facebook through our sync:

• email
• first name
• last name
• country
• city
• postcode/ zip code
• gender

To use your Ometria segments in Facebook ads, you need to sync your segments with Facebook's Custom Audiences feature. 

Once it's been set up, the sync occurs roughly every hour, though sometimes it may take longer. 

Any contacts that are added or removed from a segment in Ometria will be added or removed from the Facebook Custom Audience as well.

Before you begin

To complete the steps described below, you must be a user who manages the Ad Accounts for your company. You will need to choose one of these accounts to connect with Ometria.
