If your use case requires this in Funnel, you can request it as a custom connector.
Custom connectors and data requests are available only in Business and Enterprise plans.
How Does It Work?
You can set an overall budget for your campaign with Meta Advantage campaign budget (previously known as campaign budget optimization), or set individual budgets for your ad sets. For both campaign budgets and ad set budgets, you can choose whether your budget applies to each day, or over the entire lifetime of the campaign or ad set.
Because the budget is considered metadata, we can only obtain information about the current budget state. Unfortunately, this means we cannot retrieve historical data showing what the budget was at a specific time in the past. While knowing the current budget is useful, it is also valuable to track changes in your budget over time.
Our custom connector is unique because it can request your daily budget every day and associate it with that specific day. This process allows you to generate a historical report of your daily budget for each date since you started using the custom connector. In simpler terms, it is like keeping a diary of your budget, showing how it has changed over time.
Available Budget Reports
All reports are available at the campaign and ad set level. Each level (campaign vs. ad set) requires its own Data source in Funnel.
Daily Budget
This data source shows the current budget information for campaigns or ad sets on a daily basis. It includes the Daily, Lifetime, and Remaining Budget metrics. The data updates every 4 hours. For more information on data sources that do not have specific dates, check out the article Dateless data in Funnel.
