Extract data from Facebook Ads API

This is real work, not a feature someone invented — it comes from real job ads and real questions people asked. Below are four ready AI prompts: get it done, make it easy for the next person to say yes to, work out the right move when you are stuck, and stop it coming back.

Extract the last 30 days of campaign performance data for the 'Summer Sale' campaign from the Facebook Ads API, including impressions, clicks, and conversions, and save it as a CSV for the marketing manager by Tuesday.

Before I pull the weekly Facebook Ads data for the agency, make sure it's resilient to API rate limits and connection drops. We can't afford a partial dataset again, otherwise their reporting will be wrong.

The marketing lead is asking why the Facebook Ads data for yesterday is missing conversions.
The marketing lead is asking why the Facebook Ads data for yesterday is missing conversions, but my extraction process ran without errors. I'm worried the API changed something or I hit a data sampling limit. I can't tell them I'm not sure if the data is actually complete. What's the most likely reason for missing metrics from a successful API pull, and how do I quickly verify the data integrity without causing panic?

I keep getting requests for ad hoc Facebook Ads reports that require custom date ranges and metrics.
I keep getting requests for ad hoc Facebook Ads reports that require custom date ranges and metrics, and it pulls me away from bigger projects. I spend too much time just pulling raw data. What habit should I change to create a more flexible, self-service way for the marketing team to get the specific Facebook Ads data they need, without me having to manually run each request?

Questions people actually ask

honest answers, no sign-up

Every task here was seen in the real world. Someone doing the job named it, a real job ad asked for it, or a lot of people asked about it online.

If nothing real showed a task, it is not on the page. That is the whole rule.

They are the same job approached four ways, because what you need depends on where you are.

Get it done today. Make it easy for the next person to say yes to. Work out the right move when you are stuck. Learn the pattern so the job stops coming back.

For most of these jobs it can carry the heavy thinking - draft it, sort it, check it, rehearse it with you.

It cannot sit in your chair, take the blame when a number is wrong, or notice what nobody wrote down. Let it do the first 80%. Keep the last 20% that is truly yours.

No. Copy any prompt and paste it into the AI you already use. No account, no score, no wall in the way.

Any of them. The prompts describe the work rather than naming a product, so they are not tied to one assistant.

That is also why they keep working when you switch.

Change it freely. Every prompt is a starting line, not a rule.

Put in your real numbers, your real names and your real deadline. The more you make it yours, the better the answer comes back.

The tasks come from real job ads, published job data and the questions people ask in public forums.

The steps come from Alteryx's own documentation, with practitioner sources for the traps the manual does not mention.

Push once. Ask it to sharpen the weakest part and to say what it assumed.

Most wrong answers come from a missing detail rather than a bad prompt - tell it the thing it could not know.
