I have a specific question. Have you done this before?

Posted

Yes I have please go ahead

Customer

I set-up offline conversions connecting it to an ad account over a month ago. I received a data list from the client showing people who had signed up for an account with the credit union. When I upload the list I see this (wait for screenshot)

I will wait for the screenshot

It's strange because it shows no match rate on the bottom for records but a match rate in the upper section for records

Posted
Customer

I set-up the data properly providing email, first name, last name, city, zip

Posted

The complete registration seems to be glitching.

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

Did you go through the process of the registration at first before connecting the credit union?

Posted
Customer

Do I need to actually set-up an event in Facebook? I thought selecting the event type was just a type to select

Posted
Customer

I also did not add a conversion value but the list still went through

Posted
Customer

"Did you go through the process of the registration at first before connecting the credit union?"

 

What do you mean by this?

 
Posted

In roder to get traffic yes you do.

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

Please set the event first please.

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

Please click on complete rigistration to see if this will ket you continue to set up the account.

Posted
Customer

What do you mean exactly? Is this done through Ads Manager or another section of business manager? Sorry, I just need additional clarification.

My thought was that I just need to connect an Offline Event set to an ad account so it starts tracking impressions served. Then I upload the data list from the client, choose an event type (with no further setup) and it will show me the number of people who have seen an ad we served and are on the event list.

Posted
Customer

Ok I will try it now

 

Posted
Customer

Where is complete registration?

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

The screenshot you sent bottom left hand corner.

Posted
Charles Totherow

Check and see if you can click on it and finish setup.

Posted
Customer

Posted
Customer

It's not clickable, that's just the pre-defined event type I chose during the data submission screen

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

Do you upload all the offline data yourself?

Posted
Customer

Yes, manually

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

Also do you use the API?

Posted
Customer

No I do not use the API because we cannot establish a connection with their database

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

Please allow me a few minutes to resolve this for you One moment?

Posted
Customer

Ok

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

I htink this isi the problem.  Faceboko uses the API for the offline data.

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

IS the credit union the only institution that you are using right now?

Posted
Customer

Yes, the only institution we have access to data

Posted
Customer

Are you sure its only through API? Why would they even have manual upload then?

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

May I ask what credit union is this?

Posted
Customer

Advancial Credit Union

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

Thank you one moment please?

Posted
Customer

Sure

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

When you tried to connect the credit union, what error message did you get?

Posted
Customer

None, I just connected it to the ad account we run ads from. FB instructions say that to do offline events you need to connect the offline event set to an ad account in order for it to be able to match offline events to ads served

Posted
Customer

Posted
Customer

So I did. I did it over a month ago and all the events we submitted are after that time period

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

So the real time data is not showing, is that correct?

Posted
Customer

We can't connect directly to the credit union's internal software and use the API to automatically pull events, but from everything I read we should be able to manually upload events (like I did here) and match them

Posted
Customer

Correct, we don't have access to real time data, only manual upload

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

I believe this is just a glitch in Facebook itself.  Is there anyway you can remove the credit union, then add the credit union back?

Posted
Customer

I kind of feel that way too. I also noticed a glitch where, I uploaded the events yesterday and it just said 0 matches. I even checked an hour after. Then I logged in today and it gave me these matched events

Posted
Customer

I could do that but then it will lose the data for the past month. That's what I'm worried about

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

We can do a screenshare as you perform these steps if you wish?

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

Do you still have the past data files so that you can maunally reupload them?

Posted
Charles Totherow
Facebook Expert

Might take some time to reupload  as well.

Posted
Customer

Sure, how do we do that? Can we talk during the screenshare?

I use another program called anydesk which allows us to chat with the screenshare, would this be ok with you?
