If a report in AdClicks is showing missing data or numbers that don’t match what you see in the vendor’s platform, don’t worry — in most cases, it’s not an error but a timing or configuration issue. Here are the three main possibilities to rule out before escalating to technical support.
Possibility #1: The Data is Still Processing
This is the most common cause. AdClicks downloads and processes fresh data from vendor APIs daily between 3:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m., depending on report volume.
Example: If the vendor adjusted conversions from yesterday, you may not see those updates in AdClicks until late this afternoon.
What to do:
- Go to the Data Queue tab in AdClicks.
- Review the Status column for the data processes.
Status | Meaning |
Synced: | Data is up to date. If the numbers still don’t match, continue to check out possibility #2. |
In Queue / Ready to Process / Processing: |
The system is still working on the data. Minor discrepancies are expected while the update is in progress. |
Credentials Not Working: | The access token has expired — the user must reconnect their vendor account. |
Account Unlinked: | The client revoked access. They need to reauthorize someone in your organization to access their data. |
How to fix "Credentials Not Working":
1. Go to Clients, select your client, and click on it to see the connection details. |
|
2. Click Manage Connections and review the list of users and their connection status. |
|
3. If the status shows Error, click Authenticate and sign in again. |
|
⚠️ Note: Some vendor platforms automatically expire credentials for security reasons. This is normal and beyond AdClicks’ control — periodic reauthentication may be needed.
|
Possibility #2: The Report is Linked to the Wrong Account
Sometimes, reports are connected to outdated or similarly named accounts — especially common when clients have multiple advertising accounts.
What to check:
- In the Data Queue, find the Account ID and Client Name.
- Cross-check these against the vendor’s platform to ensure they match exactly.
If it’s incorrect:

Possibility #3: Filter or Data Scope Mismatch
Even small mismatches between your filters in AdClicks and the vendor’s platform can cause discrepancies.
What to check:
- Typos in campaign names, labels, or filters.
- Filters: Confirm both platforms are using the same filters, both at page level and widget level in AdClicks.
- Data Scope: Ensure you're comparing the same level of data (e.g. campaign-level vs. account-level).
In AdClicks, the green beacon icon in the top right of the widget editor shows which data scope is being used.
🟢 If the scope you need doesn’t appear to be supported in AdClicks, contact support — we’ll check if it can be enabled.
Still Not Working?
If you've ruled out the 3 causes above, it’s time to contact the technical support team.
What to include in your request:
- Full-screen screenshot of the error
- Screenshot of the vendor’s platform (showing the full screen, not just a cropped area)
- Link to the AdClicks report
- Account ID
- Clear description of what’s wrong
- (Optional but very helpful) A screen recording showing the issue step by step
The more context you provide, the faster we can pinpoint and fix the problem.
