Overview

Simon Data connects to Facebook to create and maintain custom audiences. Those custom audiences can be used to build lookalikes and directly retarget using Facebook Ads. Simon does not extract any information from Facebook.

All Facebook Audience lists are set up as Stream flows. For more information on flow types, visit Campaigns - flows.
