Customerlabs CDP Documentation
Source – Facebook
(A ‘Source’ platform is one where data can be brought in from any platform into CustomerLabs CDP)
Facebook is a popular social networking website that lets users upload pictures and videos of their business. This can be a powerful way to communicate with customers and potential customers, allowing them to see the product or service without having to visit the premises.
The CustomerLabs CDP + Facebook integration helps marketers bring data from lead ads on Facebook, unify them with existing customer information across the martech stack to create 360° customer profiles and sync that data to any destination platform to trigger relevant workflows without having to depend on their developers.

Workflows in CustomerLabs CDP

Note: You can add up to 3 unique user identifiers.
12. Post user identity mapping, you can categorically map other incoming attributes under two major fields – User traits and User External IDs
13. Incoming user information from the ad such as first name, last name, ad set, ad campaign, city, state, company, zip code & other similar information can be added under User traits.
14. Unique Facebook user IDs such as “lead_id” can be added under User External IDs.
Note: These external IDs will be appended to user 360° user profiles and will be used to accurately target the exact user when synced back to Facebook, considerably increasing audience match rates.
