Troubleshooting

  1. Synchronisation delay
    Sync to audiences are not immediately available in Meta Ads Manager and can take up to 72 hours after Splio has finished sending audience updates for them to be available. This is due to a delay in Facebook accepting and processing customers from Splio.
  1. Matched profiles
    Customers are not matched if emails and phones stored in Splio are not the same used in their Meta accounts so the size of the audience may not match exactly with the size of the CAF segment. Meta will not show an error or remove them from the display, but actually won't add any of those contacts.
