FAQs

Q: Do I need any special permissions to view analytics?
A: No, analytics are visible to all team members who have access to Settings > Plans & Usage.

Q: Can I export the analytics data?
A: Use the "Copy Summary" button on the analytics page to copy the country-wise breakdown. You can paste this into a spreadsheet.

Q: Why don't my analytics match Meta's numbers exactly?
A: There may be a small delay (up to 24 hours) between when messages are sent and when they appear in analytics. Costs are calculated based on Spur's rate card.

Q: Do quick links work if I'm not logged into Meta?
A: You'll need to be logged into your Meta Business account in the same browser. If not logged in, Meta will prompt you to sign in first.
