Meta Event Feed

Sparrow can pass event information into Meta's 'Commerce Manager'. This allows you to use Sparrow data to quickly create Meta ads, as well as have an 'always on' carousel ads that allow your ads to automatically swap in and out based on what's on sale.

Set up.

1. Ask your account manager to set up the product feed.

2. They will send you a link that will add the feed to your business manager

3. Once the feed is imported into your business manager account, visit the Commerce Manager here to see your imported events.

Creating "Product Sets"

Within Commerce Manager, "Product Sets" allow you to create segments for your events that you can then advertise as one group. For example, you can create a segment for just Country events that runs ads only with that genre.

To create a set:

1. Go to Commerce Manager and go to Catalog > Sets

2. Click "Create Set" and use filters to dynamically choose which events get grouped together. Reference the table below to help you determine which filters to select. For example, to group all Country events together you will choose "Custom Label 0 contains Country" as your filter:

   
3. Give the product set a name (e.g. Country Shows) and click Create
