Can I check if it is possible to transfer my account to a different email login?
Yes, it is possible!
Please email support@portermetrics.com, with the request "change owner license ". We need the current email and the email you want instead.
How many dashboards can I create?
We charge by connections, so you can create as many dashboards as you want, as long as you keep the slots available on your plan.
What a connection means?
You pay for connections, not for data sources.
A connection corresponds to every single Facebook Ad account, Facebook page, or Instagram Business page you would like to connect to Google Data Studio.
If you want to create reports for four (4) Facebook Ads accounts, those would be 1 data source and 4 connections, for instance.
I was added as a user, but I still have emailed about my trials?
We run different campaigns when you create a trial, so if you still get those emails after you are part of a license, just ignore them.
What does reset my source accounts mean?
On our new interface, you are able to reset your accounts that mean if you see this error:
You can reset the accounts as we show in this article, https://help.portermetrics.com/en/articles/5292385-how-to-add-delete-or-check-connections-on-my-license
Reset your accounts means you can delete data sources that you are not using and let those that you are working with, The connections that you need will reconnect automatically once you open the reports that you need.
Can I create Facebook and Google Ads information in one dashboard?
Yes, We have a lot of templates ready for that here.
How fast does data refresh?
We bring the data as fast as Facebook provides it on its API. Data refreshes automatically every 6 hours, but if you need an updated look, just refresh your reports, and we will bring the new data.
Please consider that every time you pull data, you are queering for data rows, which will produce your dashboards that may appear as broken due to the lack of tokens available on the API.
