After you’ve completed the Facebook integration with Bluecore, the next step is to setup a campaign to sync to Facebook on a specified cadence. Once configured, this will run automatically without requiring updates.
TIP: To use an audience across multiple ad accounts, sync the audience to one account using Facebook’s Shared Audiences.

TARGET THE AUDIENCE
To target an audience with a Facebook Ad, navigate to Facebook. Select the audience to target from the Audience drop-down menu when creating a new campaign or editing an existing ad set. Remember, audience targeting is done at the ad set-level, not at the campaign or ad-level.
Audiences synced to Facebook will auto-update and re-sync every night to keep audiences fresh at all times. Your existing campaign workflow and reporting stay the same– simply choose the Facebook audience to target when creating the campaign and targeting the ad set.

FAQ
Q: What is the audience name created in Facebook?
A: The audience name in Facebook is the same as what’s configured on the campaign summary page, in step 14. In addition to the name entered, Bluecore prepends a prefix (Bluecore) before the audience name and appends date as the suffix.
