Jumpstart your Facebook Ads analytics with reusable blocks

dbt packages can speed up your work

Once you replicate your Facebook Ads data with Stitch, you can use it in many ways. For example, you can use the data modeling and transformation tool dbt to prepare data for reporting, analytics, or machine learning applications.

Dbt has prebuilt packages for many Stitch data sources, including Facebook Ads. Here’s a look at code for modeling Facebook Ads data. This particular block of code prepares your Facebook Ads order data for analysis.

... or use Looker blocks with your Facebook Ads data

We've developed a Looker Block for Facebook Ads data provisioned by Stitch. This block includes prebuilt code to create dashboards and models that can help uncover insights from your Facebook Ads data.

This Looker Block includes three dashboards that provide granular analysis on ad performance metrics. This LookML file produces an overview dashboard and highlights marketing performance metrics such as ad spend, clicks, and impressions over time.

Simplify your Amazon Redshift migration

When it comes to replicating your data to Amazon Redshift, conventional ETL is no longer the only game in town.

Writing ETL code requires big investments of time, money, and expertise that might otherwise be used for innovation. Most importantly, newer approaches to data ingestion deliver faster implementation than traditional ETL, so you can produce data analytics and business intelligence more quickly.

This is where Stitch can help.
