Is there an existing feature request for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

Describe the Feature

At the moment, the Facebook Ads dbt package requires url/utm parameters to be included in the page_link or template_page_link fields (see code here for reference). However, there are instances where url/utm parameters are not set within these fields and are instead dynamically set within Meta. Meta has documented these as URL dynamic parameters.

We have provided support for similar dynamic ads in other ad packages (eg. Google Ads auto tagging). Therefore, it is not far off that we should provide similar support for Facebook Ads.

Describe alternatives you've considered

At the moment there are not real alternatives. Ads which leverage the url dynamic parameters are not being captured by the models in this package.
