Account Ingestion allows you to connect new and existing advertising accounts with Fluency, ensuring that your data is always up-to-date. Fluency uses polling sources to act as a bridge between the platform and external data sources. Fluency syncs polling sources daily, pulling in any new accounts it detects and updating changes to existing accounts.
How to add an account ingest source
To add a new or existing account ingest source:
Click the Settings & Tools gear icon in the top menu.
Select Account Ingest in the dropdown menu.
Click + Create New.
Choose your Data Source: You can use the Polling Source link from your Google Sheet. Feel free to explore a sample or download a template for guidance.
Select Data Type as Account.
Decide on the Frequency of how often your data will sync with Fluency. For optimal results, consider a sync every 6 hours.
Pick the First Run Hour (EST): Determine the initial sync time for your ingestion sheet each day. For example: If you set a Frequency of 6 hrs and a First Run Hour of 1:00 a.m., your ingestion sheet will update at 1 a.m., 7 a.m., 1 p.m., and 7 p.m. daily.
How to manually sync an ingest sheet
You're not bound to the sync frequency you selected when setting up an account ingest source. If you need to manually sync an ingestion sheet:
Hover over the data source name to access the quick action menu.
(Optional) Preview ingest changes by clicking the eyeball icon.
Initiate the sync by clicking the Ingest Now icon.
