Recommendation – Facebook Removes Its Limitations On Text Content In Facebook Ad Images

Among those limitations is the ability for businesses to attribute conversion events back to an ad over longer attribution windows.” – Facebook’s official announcement

Facebook automatically makes a 28-day attribution model, until they make it to 7-day or 1-day. Standard attribution i.e. 28-day attribution model will affect future results. Advertisers can check their result thought “compare windows”.

Facebook Ads API

API will continue with 28 day-attribution till the official browser limitations, which means it will not affect API from October 12th. Facebook is believing the 7-day model to be real and with a good impact on ads
