Check the status of a scheduled ad with a Facebook Lookalike Audience

Check the processing status of a Facebook Lookalike Audience for a Facebook and Instagram Ad or Lead Ad from the ad's Details page within your Constant Contact account

If you chose to create a Lookalike Audience when you created a new Facebook and Instagram Ad or Lead Ad, an attempt is made to publish the ad every 15 minutes, but it can take Facebook between three and six hours to process the audience. You can check the status of your Lookalike Audience and ad from the ad's Details page within your Constant Contact account:

1. In the menu on the left-hand side, click the "Campaigns" option.
2. Click the List view tab.
3. Narrow your search by selecting:

• The "Ads" option from the Campaign type drop-down menu
• The "Pending" or "Active" option from the Status drop-down menu

4. Click the Manage button next to the pending or active ad you want to review.
   
   
   
   
5. Check the ad's status in the upper left-hand corner of the ad's Details page. If your Lookalike Audience is still processing, your ad stays in the "Pending" status. Once Facebook has finished processing your audience, your ad is officially published, and the status changes to "Active."
   
   
   
   

Your ad's performance and activity information don't start to display until the ad is both in the "Active" status and you've reached the selected start date.

Did you know? You can also check the status and view the details of your Lookalike Audience by logging into your Meta Ads Manager account and viewing the Audiences section.
