Resolve inactive ad account errors in Spotify Ad Studio

Get your Spotify Ad Studio data source downloading data again when Spotify hasn't activated your ad account.

Problem summary

Your Spotify Ad Studio data source doesn't download any data, and the data source details show that your ad account isn't active. This usually happens when you connect a newly created ad account.

​

Error message or symptoms

In the data source details, you see this message:

​

Your Spotify ad account is not active. To get this source working in Funnel, you need to reach out to your sales representative at Spotify.

​

When does this occur

  • You connect a Spotify Ad Studio ad account that Spotify hasn't activated yet

  • Spotify deactivates an ad account that you already connected to Funnel

​

Root cause

Spotify must activate an ad account before its data is available to Funnel. Until the account is active, Spotify rejects Funnel's requests for that account, so Funnel can't download its data.

​

Solution

  1. Contact your Spotify representative and ask them to activate your ad account.

    ​

  2. After Spotify confirms that the account is active, go to Data > Connect > Data sources in Funnel and open your Spotify Ad Studio data source.

    ​

  3. Select Reconnect and sign in to Spotify Ad Studio again. Funnel starts downloading data for the ad account.
