# Connecting Meta to Sparrow

Sparrow can connect with your Meta account to automatically retrieve ad spends.  Spends are retrieved once every 24 hours and matched to the Sparrow event.

{% hint style="info" %}
Sparrow's matching algorithm looks at your ad campaign name to match expenses to the correct Sparrow event.  To improve the match rate we recommend including the event name and date in your campaign (e.g. 10/16 Beyonce Open Ads).
{% endhint %}
