1. Add Fetch Facebook Insights node. Select today as date_present, all_days for time_increment, your preferred attribution_windows, campaign/adset as level, spend, campaign_name and campaign_id fields, and conversions as action_report_time.
2. Add Select Facebook Ad Account Ids node. Choose a Facebook account. Connect ad_account_ids sockets.
