Summary

Conflicts happen when campaign data in Hunch does not match data in Meta. This guide explains how to spot these discrepancies, choose the correct values, and keep both platforms in sync so your campaigns run as intended.

How It Works

Conflicts occur when Hunch values differ from those in Meta Ads Manager. This may happen due to direct edits in Meta, automatic Meta updates, or sync delays. Hunch flags these mismatches with a conflict indicator and lets you decide whether to update Hunch with Meta’s values or overwrite Meta with Hunch’s values.

Before You Begin

  • Ensure you have edit permissions for the affected campaigns.

  • Have access to both Hunch and Meta accounts.

  • The campaign must be in a published or active state.

  • Be aware of recent changes made to the campaign.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Identifying Conflicts

  1. Open the Campaign Insights module.

  2. Locate the Conflicts section in the campaign table.

  3. Click the conflict indicator to view details.

Resolving Conflicts

  1. Review the campaigns with conflicts.

  2. For each conflict, choose to keep the Meta value or the Hunch value.

  3. Confirm your choice using the provided options.

  4. Wait for the confirmation message before proceeding.

Preventing Future Conflicts

Make edits in Hunch whenever possible and avoid making changes directly in Meta unless necessary. If you do edit in Meta, refresh Hunch data immediately afterward.

Use Cases

  • Budget changes in Meta: Accept the Meta value to sync with Hunch.

  • Scheduled changes in Hunch not applied to Meta: Push Hunch’s values to Meta.

  • Multiple team edits: Decide which changes to keep based on priority.
