Setting up Insights for Amazon Ads
In the menu, click Insights > + Create Insights.
Select [your Amazon Ads connection] and fill in the following information:
For Name, give your dashboard a distinct name
For Date range setting, choose between a fixed range or rolling date range (continuous).
For Date range, choose the date range you want to pull data from (if fixed range) or the maximum amount of days to pull data from (if rolling date range) Note: If you’re using the preview version of Insights, you only have the option of a 90 day rolling date range.
For Channel unique ID, select the field that contains your products' unique IDs.
For Amazon account, select your Amazon account you want to retrieve data from
For Time range attribution, define the window of time you attribute a conversion to an initial impression.
Example ‘2 weeks’ - If someone clicks on your product, leaves, but returns a week later to purchase it, you determine the sale is linked to your ad.
Use Group on field(s) (optional) to group data based on category/brand/any or other field from your imported items.
Click New Insights dashboard.
