Facebook Billing Data connection guide

Follow these steps to connect your Facebook Billing Data data to Supermetrics and use your data in any of our data destinations — Google Sheets, Looker Studio, Excel, data warehouses, and Power BI, as well as the Supermetrics API. You can also connect to data sources from the Supermetrics Hub.


You can share your data source connection with your team and use the connection across all data destinations you use with Supermetrics. Learn more about shared connections.


Before you begin

To connect Supermetrics to Facebook Billing Data, you need the Finance Editor access level. Learn more about Facebook Business Manager permissions.


You also need to have monthly invoicing enabled for your Facebook Business Manager account to get its invoice data. Supermetrics can't pull data on transactions that aren't part of a monthly billing cycle. Learn more about monthly invoicing.


You can query your lists of invoices and invoicing amounts, as well as rich metadata, campaign, and performance data for each invoice.
