Facebook campaign goal with action type tips

Question

Facebook campaigns have a goal among those listed here ( PAGE_LIKES , VIDEO_VIEWS , etc.).

Facebook insights lists user actions among those listed here ( like , video_view , etc., but some of them are missing, unlike for example).

Problem: goal and actions do not match. For example, there is an object task PAGE_LIKES and like .

Facebook power manager has a “Results” column, which gives for each campaign the number of user actions corresponding to the campaign goal (992 like , obtained in the figure below).

It seems that there are no such things in the views (neither in api nor in sdk), so is this the right way to determine the number of campaign conversions (with the name “Results” in the power manager)?

Do we need to manually maintain PAGE_LIKES <-> like ? And if so, then what is the correct mapping?

Answer 1

I think you are looking at the wrong document. You should take a look at the link to the ad object :

This field displays the results field, which is defined as:

The number of actions resulting from your ad. The results you see here are based on your goal.

For example, try the following:

 /<version>/act_<ACT_ID>/campaigns?fields=insights.fields(actions_results,results)
