      🚨  Important

      • Facebook (Meta) Special Ad Audiences Are Being Removed

        Facebook (Meta) is in the process of deprecating Special Ad Audiences to all advertisers, in response to a settlement agreement reached between Facebook and HUD about user privacy.

        This discontinuation is currently being released in stages:

        • August 25, 2022 - Facebook began removing the ability to create Special Ad Audiences in Ads Manager.
        • September 13, 2022 - Facebook will deprecate the endpoints used to create Special Ad Audiences via API.
        • October 12, 2022 - Facebook will pause any Ad Sets that contain Special Ad Audiences.

        We can confirm that as of August 26th, Facebook has in fact begun rolling out the changes within Ads Manager so that it is not possible to create new Special Ad Audiences.

      • Facebook (Meta) Marketplace Depreciation

        Due to Facebook’s continued deprecation of Facebook Marketplace Posting on behalf of Dealership Pages, we will be removing the Facebook Marketplace Posting Tool from our platform on 10/1/22.

        As of yesterday 9/1/2022, we are no longer accepting new dealer onboardings for the Facebook Marketplace Posting Tool.

        On 10/1/2022, we will remove the Facebook Marketplace product from any associated account along with the related charges.
