Step 3: Getting X (Twitter) Ads Performance Data in Google Sheets

And now you can start creating your own Data Query using the drop-downs below. Create a name for your Data Query, and add the account of your choice. Add the date as well.

Select metrics that consist of vital data from X (Twitter) like Impressions, Top ads, Swipes, Swipe Rate, etc. Once you select your required Metrics, select dimensions according to your added Metrics.

Dimensions are used to group your Metrics in a particular aspect like Account Name, Ad ID, Account ID, etc. After selecting the dimension you need to select the date range for the data to be displayed. Once you select the date range, you can run the query and the query data will be displayed in the given location.

Once you get the data in your Google sheet, you can customize your data by adding Pivot tables, VLOOKUP(), Charts, and Graphs. By adding these you can create your personalized Dashboard.

Once your report is created you can create a Schedule in Google Sheets to automatically update your sheets and keep your data up-to-date. This feature is handy to send emails, or just refresh your spreadsheets with live data and use it as a Dashboard.

Once you have fetched data, you might want to get new data from your database at periodic intervals. You can do this by creating a new schedule under the “Schedule Reports” section. You can schedule updates hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly based on your needs.

You could also create a report and ask Two Minute Reports to email that report with updated data automatically. Under the email section enter the email ID of the recipients and save your new schedule.

When the time comes, Two Minute Reports will automatically fetch new data from your queries, and email your report to the said recipients. You have freed a lot of your time from mundane reporting tasks.
