What gets imported
The connector imports the full campaign hierarchy (ad account, campaign, ad group, and ad), standard performance metrics (impressions, clicks, CTR, eCPC, eCPM, spend), video metrics (starts, completions, and quartile and time-based milestones), and Reddit Pixel conversion events including revenue. Ad-account-level breakdowns include country, region, OS, platform placement, and gender. For the complete list of metrics, breakdowns, and refresh cadence, see the Reddit Ads data reference.Troubleshooting
Data source creation fails with INVALID_DATA_SOURCE
Data source creation fails with INVALID_DATA_SOURCE
Legacy Reddit Ads accounts created before the Business ID requirement do not have an associated Business ID and cannot be connected. Contact Reddit support to add a Business ID to the account, then create the data source again.
Dates appear shifted in dashboards
Dates appear shifted in dashboards
Reddit returns timestamps in the ad account’s local timezone, and they are normalized to the workspace timezone during ingestion. Apparent date shifts usually indicate a mismatched workspace timezone setting; verify it matches the intended reporting timezone.
Refresh appears slow on Businesses with many ad accounts
Refresh appears slow on Businesses with many ad accounts
The Reddit Marketing API enforces a rate limit of one call per 12 seconds per ad account. Businesses with many sub-accounts may take longer to refresh fully. Rate-limit errors resolve automatically on subsequent refresh windows.
App-install or SKAdNetwork metrics are not visible
App-install or SKAdNetwork metrics are not visible
