Getting started
Authenticate with OAuth
Log in with your Microsoft Ads account, and click Allow. Hightouch requires access to manage your ads account and see your email address.
Syncing data
Events
When syncing offline conversion events, Hightouch treats any records added to your source as new events and sends them to Bing Ads when your sync runs.
Conversion goal name
This is the conversion goal name to associate with the offline conversions.
Field mapping
Offline conversions require the Microsoft Click ID and Time fields to be valid. The Time field must also:
- be later than the recorded
clickId - be within the conversion goal window
- not be older than 90-days.
For more information, see Microsoft Bing Ads' official documentation.
Audiences
Users get inserted into the Bing Ads customer match list audience. Users removed from the model get removed from the audience.
To sync to a customer match list audience, you need to first create a customer list and accept terms and conditions in the Microsoft Advertising UI.
Field mapping
Customer List Item records require the Email field to be valid and Bing Ads doesn't support mapping other fields.
For more information, see Microsoft Bing Ads' official documentation.
Handling PII
By default, Hightouch automatically detects if your Email field requires hashing and hashes the value before sending requests to Bing Ads if needed.
Tips and troubleshooting
Delayed syncing
Bing Ads suggests waiting up to 48 hours to confirm Audience Size updates.
