    FAQ

    Asked on almost every call.

    How often does the Microsoft Excel Meta Custom Audience sync run?

    You set the cadence, from near-real-time to a nightly Microsoft Excel sync of your Excel workbook rows into Meta. Since Signals processes only the newly dropped file, lookalike seeds and suppression lists that track your live customer base keeps pace and finance and ops teams working in Excel watch audience refresh cadence. One scoped connection sets it up, cadence adjustable later.

    What match rate should a Microsoft Excel-sourced Meta Custom Audience batch expect?

    Match rate follows identifier coverage in your Excel workbook rows, which finance and ops teams working in Excel control, not Microsoft Excel itself. A record with a current hashed email or phone matches for Meta; one missing both cannot. First-run feedback from Custom Audiences API pinpoints audience refresh cadence, the number finance and ops teams working in Excel tune against.
