Custom Audiences (Facebook Ads) – Mautic 3 plugin

Fast Reliable Well documented Mautic plugin

Do you want to reach your Mautic contacts through Facebook, or do you want to get more simiral costumers? Use our Mautic plugin, which is made exactly for these purposes.

version:3.1.2

Purpose

With the help of the plugin we can directly start Facebook (hereinafter: FB) ads to our Mautic contacts, but even we can communicate with just similar FB users to our Mautic contacts.

The plugin ‘convert’ our segments of our contacts managed by Mautic into a ‘Facebook – Custom Audience(based on email identification), therefore with its help we can reach our segments of our Mautic’s clients in FB also.

How does it work?

The plugin is a FB – Ads integration, which with a FB application of ours is able to create, delete, update its members of ‘Custom Audienc’-es of a FB ad account based on the segments of our Mautic contacts.

For its usage we need:

  1. A Mautic with our contacts and its segments.
  2. A FB ad account, where as the result of the solution we can manage the appearing Custom Audience’-es, and where we would like to start adverts to them.
  3. A FB application to be able to use for the solution, what will draw the data between Mautic and the FB ad account (for it there is no need any real development, the requirement is just a short administrative process).
  4. At last but not least one FB service-account – as a virtual/technical user – to manage the operations of the application with the proper rights (we can create/manage it on the FB business manager).

As a result of the solution we can reach our Mautic contacts through Facebook – Ads where we can start campaigns for them.

All the further details are in our detailed manual.

(The plugin was originally developed by Raymond Muilwijk and was sponsored by Trinoco for the Qeado project. Without his fantastic work the project couldn’t be available. The abandoned project was forked and embraced by LeadEngine/ReachMedia Ltd. for further structured developments and maintenance. The project keeps its original GPL3 license, therefore the project is freely used and developed (source). The new maintainer just tries to manage the processes.)

What can it be used for?

  • In case of our already available contacts, if we want communicate through FB with our Mautic contacts in a multi funnel marketing/multi channel marketing solution, with the usage of the plugin, the thus automatically managed FB – Ads – ‘Custom Audience‘ we can easily reach our goals.
  • In case of new customer recruitment, if we want to expand our clients with the help of the FB ‘Custom Audience‘ based ‘Lookalike Audiences‘ solution  we can start FB ads for yet unknown but similar FB users to our Mautic clients (based on their interests and behaviour), thus with it we can easily and efficiently expanded our clients, our target group.
