Once you connect a platform, Flyweel begins syncing your campaign data and you’ll be directed to your dashboard.
How quickly does Flyweel sync data from my advertising platforms?Link to this section
After initial connection, data typically syncs within 2-15 minutes depending on account size, with ongoing updates every 4 hours.
What should I do if my platform connection fails during onboarding?Link to this section
Ensure you have admin access to the advertising account, check that popup blockers aren’t interfering with OAuth, and contact team@flyweel.co if issues persist.
