By importing data from Facebook Ads to Google Sheets, you can make custom reports, see how your data looks, and make better marketing decisions. In this blog post, we will show you how to use the Catchr Add-on for Google Sheets to import your Facebook Ads data easily and efficiently.
Now that you have the Google Sheet Add-on installed, you can create your first query with it. But before that, we will review all the different configurations to which you have access when you create a query.
In the source listing, you could select any marketing platform you want to connect. In this case, we will use Facebook Ads, but you could also connect Microsoft Ads, Google Ads, etc. We have more than twenty marketing sources at the moment and plan to add a lot more.
If you have no account for the source, you can click on the “+” button and add the source from app.catchr.io.
Once you have selected a source, you can select the account you want to work with. You can select one or more accounts and execute all your queries on them.

Like the metrics tabs, the dimensions tabs gave you the power to select which dimension you wanted to work on. By way of example, if you want all the impressions by campaign and day, you need to put “Impressions” in the metrics tabs and “Day” and “campaign name” in the dimension fields.
You could find all the metrics available for Facebook in the fields listing page.
In the date range tab, you can select the date range for your report. There are presets available, like "Last month" and "This year" but you can also add custom date range.
The filters gave you a way to filter the data you wanted to work on. If you only need your branding campaign, you could easily put the name or the pattern of the campaign in the filter.
Please, note that successive filters combine with a AND logical operator.
