10.4 My Sync Isn’t Updating

If your Google Sheets or Facebook sync has stopped receiving new resolution data, work through the following checks.

Check 1: Is your authentication still active?
Google and Facebook connections can expire or be revoked — especially if you changed your Google or Facebook password, revoked app permissions, or the connection timed out. Go to Integrations → Sync and check whether your connection shows as active or needs to be reconnected.

To reconnect Google Sheets:

  1. Go to Integrations → Sync.

  2. Select Google Sheets.

  3. Click reconnect or re-authenticate.

  4. Follow the Google authentication steps again.

  5. Confirm your sheet selection and save.

To reconnect Facebook:

  1. Go to Integrations → Sync.

  2. Select Facebook.

  3. Click reconnect or re-authenticate.

  4. Follow the Facebook authentication steps again.

  5. Confirm your Ad Account and Custom Audience selection and save.

Check 2: Are new resolutions being generated?
If the pixel hasn’t resolved any new visitors since the sync was last active — because credits ran out or traffic has been low — the sync will have nothing new to push. Check Settings → Usage to confirm resolutions are still being generated.

Check 3: Is the destination still available?

  • Google Sheets — Check that the sheet still exists and hasn’t been deleted or moved. If the sheet was deleted, you will need to reconnect the sync to a new or existing sheet.

  • Facebook — Check that the Custom Audience still exists in your Facebook Ads account and that your Ads account is in good standing.

Check 4: Has there been a recent platform update?
Occasionally, a platform update on either side — Better Pixel, Google, or Facebook — can interrupt an existing connection. If your sync was working previously and stopped without any changes on your end, contact BetterMarketers support.
