Useful tip đź’ˇ
 Prepare a video template before connecting. To learn how to create a video template, click here.

Once you have successfully created your first video template in Confect, you are just a couple steps away from catalog videos in your Ads Manager!

Now, you must connect this to your Facebook catalog to start running product-level videos.

Create a Meta Video Feed

First, go into the "Catalogs" tab.

Here, click "Show All" and scroll down the list until you find "Meta Video Feed".

Now, simply press "Add channel", then select your video template, and "Save" this video feed.

(We recommend selecting 1080x1080 for the video resolution - other resolutions may not be supported in all Meta placements.)

Your Meta Video Feed is now ready to be generated.

Important ⚠️
 DO NOT add video templates to your "Meta" Confect catalog; use a "Meta Video Feed" channel.

Add a Supplementary feed into Meta

Once your Meta Video Feed has finished generating, copy the feed URL.

Now, head into your Meta Commerce Manager and the catalog you use for Confect.

Go into the "Data sources" tab in this catalog and click "Add supplementary feed".

  • In the "Select a data feed" dropdown, choose your Meta feed from Confect (reach out to us if you have questions)
  • Paste in the Video Feed URL
  • Select the default currency
  • Save

Use catalog videos in ads

Since your catalog now includes videos and images, you must specify which one you want to use on the ad level.

This is controlled inside the Confect plugin's dropdown.

Simply choose "Video Catalog Ad" from the dropdown, the same as when switching variants.

Before switching:

  • Turn off the "Advantage+ creative" options in this ad
  • Publish the ad (there can be no draft)
