This feature may help, for example, to compare last month's advertising efficiency with this month's last year. Creating automation, please notice that systems have different Ad leads storage times. This mode will also be useful for changing the CRM system and transferring your system to another platform.

Put a check near Data Migration mode, then specify the period. The data type depends on the API of a particular system. In this example, we will send data for a certain period, but in other cases all account data sending is available.

We have set up the data migration period, now we need to set up the system to receive Ad leads. We will use Airtable. Select «New record» as an action. Enter your connection.
​
In the additional fields specify the base and the table to receive leads and make a search.

Now we need to set up the fields for sending. As an example, we select «Creation date and time» in the first field to track a certain period. In the Name field, select the values from Facebook:

Set up the duplicate search. For example, let’s select «Do not check for duplicates, always create a new record».

Now the automation scenario is ready, you can start it.
