Executive summary

Create an account and connect your platforms

Two types of accounts

You'll have to fill out a short form with your login details to create an account. The form contains only 6 fields: first name, last name, email, company, password, and confirm password.

Once you login into the platform, you'll see the option for creating an account. You might be wondering why we'd ask you to make an account again? There are two things called accounts. One is the login account that you got after filling out the form. This is your company's account on deepdivr for all users to log in to.

The second account can be understood as a folder for your channels. A channel could be an ad account, organic page, or analytics view. The account (folder) can have one or more channels in it. You can also have multiple accounts (folders) containing the same or different channels. This, of course, depends on the structure that you feel comfortable with.

Based on your requirements, you can choose to group the FB ad account, LI ad account, FB organic page, Google analytics view, and Google ads account. For example, you can review your performance for a specific country or a brand across all platforms by grouping all the channels together in one account (folder). You can also choose to have just one channel in your account to view only the performance from a single platform.

By grouping them, you can get quick access to a master overview of your key metrics like spend, reach, impressions, and so on for the selected countries. A huge advantage is that you can compare your metrics cross-platform, which means that if you're running campaigns on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Google Ads (among others), you can see your key metrics for all of them combined.

Connecting your advertising platforms

When you open deepdivr on your desktop, you'll see three tabs on the left side of your screen - accounts, settings, help center.

To connect your platforms click on Settings. The first options you should see are platforms. Here you have a list of platforms you can connect to. Deepdivr connects the advertising platforms through an API. So the connections that you make here are on an account level (login account). This means you'll be able to connect them to as many accounts (folders) in deepdivr as you find necessary to create.

Once you have connected a platform, you can select which deepdivr accounts it should be visible in. So this means that you can choose how many platforms you want to connect to each account you create.

Create an account

When you click on Create Account (folder), you have to name it, which should be something that you and other users can quickly recognize. A pro tip is to decide on a structure for your naming and use it consistently across accounts, especially if you're using multiple accounts.

Then you can choose to upload a logo or an image that can help you recognize the account even faster. On a side note, it will make your account and dashboard nicer to look at. You can also choose to select your own brand's color, making it much easier to show the visualizations to your stakeholders without manually changing each one. Then click on Save Changes.

The last step for finalizing your account is to connect channels to this specific account (folder). Right under the title Account Settings, you'll see a column called Connections. Once you click on it, you'll see a list of your ad accounts on the native platforms. This list is generated after you made the initial platform connection in the previous step. So, for example, if you have multiple Facebook ad accounts, you can connect one, several, or all of them to your account (folder) in deepdivr. It gives you the possibility to organize your ad accounts in the exact way you want to.

Simply click on the checkbox of the ad account you want to include in this specific account (folder). You can open your newly created account by clicking on Accounts on the left side of your screen. Afterward, just click on the account you created.
