View a list of your Facebook ad campaigns

You can view all of the ad campaigns associated with your Facebook ad accounts in one place. Every entry in the campaign list shows information on campaign settings, status, how the campaign is performing, and how much budget has been spent.

Hootsuite displays all of your Facebook campaigns in a table view, with key performance data for each campaign. Hootsuite doesn't display archived or deleted ad campaigns.

The campaign objective is displayed under each campaign name. The Main result is a key metric that highlights a campaign’s performance based on its objective.

Ad campaigns can have one of the following statuses:

• Active (the campaign is running)
• Active with issue (the campaign is running but some ad sets or ads have errors or warnings)
• Active and scheduled (the campaign has been approved but has not started yet)
• Active and completed (the campaign has ended)
• Paused
• Paused with issue
• Paused and scheduled
• Paused and completed
