Facebook Ads

LookML files for a Facebook block compatible with Stitch's Facebook Ads Insights ETL.

To use this block, you will need to:

Include it in your manifest.lkml:

Note: This requires the Project Import feature currently in /admin/labs to be enabled on your Looker instance.

Via local projects:

Fork this repo and create a new project named app-marketing-facebook-ads-adapter

manifest.lkml

LookML
local_dependency: {
  project: "app-marketing-facebook-ads-adapter"
}


local_dependency: {
  project: "app-marketing-facebook-ads"
}

Or remote dependency which don't require a local version.

manifest.lkml

LookML

remote_dependency: app-marketing-facebook-ads-adapter {
  url: "git://github.com/looker/app-marketing-facebook-ads-stitch-redshift"
  ref: "16795ca4726f79f808d274a4765781c72c974d4b"
}

remote_dependency: app-marketing-facebook-ads {
  url: "git://github.com/looker/app-marketing-facebook-ads"
  ref: "5a7d003d98be5b5adc93d7fd90bdd4105461186a"
}

Note that the ref: should point to the latest commit in each respective repo facebook-ads-stitch-redshift and facebook-ads.

2. Create a facebook_ads_config view that is assumed by this project. This configuration requires a file

For example:

facebook_ads_config.view.lkml

LookML
view: facebook_ads_config {
  extension: required

  dimension: facebook_ads_schema {
    hidden: yes
    sql:facebook_ads_stitch;;
  }
}

3. Include the view files in your model.

For example:

marketing_analytics.model.lkml

LookML
include: "/app-marketing-facebook-ads-adapter/*.view"
include: "/app-marketing-facebook-ads/*.view"
include: "/app-marketing-facebook-ads/*.dashboard"

For a reference of all of the fields names and definitions reference Facebook’s API documentation for breakdowns and parameters.
