Facebook Dynamic Ads Export

Updated over 2 years ago

Overview

Olapic offers a flat file solution to integrate curated user-generated-content with Facebook Dynamic Ads. The feed was designed per Facebook’s Product Catalog Guidelines.

For more information on Facebook Dynamic Ads, please visit Facebook Help Center.

All curated content included in the flat-file export are fully controlled via the brand user in the Olapic admin.

There are two content sorting options that you can pick and choose from:

  • The image with the highest Photorank score associated with the product. Photorank is Olapic’s proprietary algorithm scoring system that predicts the success of a photo based on 40+ attributes.

  • The image with the highest click-through rate (CTR).

Note that if there is no rights-approved UGC associated with the product, the product record will be excluded from the feed.
