Getting Started with Ad Badger: Introduction

Experiencing Slow Import Issues

Welcome to Ad Badger! We appreciate your enthusiasm in getting started with our tool. If you've recently connected your Ad Badger account to one of your advertising accounts and notice that not all campaigns have been imported immediately, fear not! It's completely normal for the initial sync to take some time, sometimes a few hours. This duration can vary based on the size of your advertising account and the amount of data being processed. Rest assured that our system is diligently working in the background to sync all your campaigns. You can periodically check your Ad Badger dashboard to see the progress. As campaigns are imported, they will become visible in the tool, and you will receive a notification when syncing has completed.  For more information on syncing please read these articles: Using the Sync Dashboard How does Ad Badger Sync with Amazon Resolving an Incomplete Sync Issue Do I Need to be Logged in to Amazon for my Campaigns to Sync
