11/15/2021, 7:57 PMHi team! Not sure if this is the right place to ask this.... If I wanted to sync data from Instagram Ads, would I use the Facebook Marketing source connector? Or would I need to create a new connector to do that? I am new to using Facebook's APIs and am finding them mildly confusing 👀 💦

11/15/2021, 9:56 PMHi! Yes, I do see there is an instagram connector, but that is not for Instagram Ads specifically

I’m actually not sure if the FB marketing API is pulling it. I would guess yes from the docs (there doesn’t seem to be a difference in the URLs used) but I’m not 100% sure

08/30/2022, 10:23 AMHello, I am also interested in this. @Emily Cogsdill have you been able to find out in the meantime which connector to get Instagram Ads data from? I would very grateful for your insight.

08/30/2022, 3:20 PMhi @Vincent Koppen! Unfortunately my team hasn’t yet had the chance to test using the FB Marketing connector for Instagram Ads. (We are working with a lot of different data sources and this one got bumped to the backlog… for 9 months!) If you are able to test it out I’d definitely be interested to hear how it goes!
