Once you have completed the integration step, you will be able to see metrics on a campaign, ad set, and ad level for all your Facebook campaigns. This data may come from your traffic source side (i.e., Facebook) or from your external revenue stream (tracker, search feed).
💡NOTE: This report is fully customizable – you can remove metrics that are not useful to you, add new ones, and even calculate your own custom metrics using a formula (more on this later). If you click on the small square above “TR Revenue” from the overview above, you will have the chance to select or deselect metrics.
