Major Changes
Product Split
As of the 2020 release, the Facebook Adapter has been split into two offerings. All standard social media tables such as Posts and Comments are availabe in this table. All Ads and Marketing related views and tables are now available in the Facebook Ads offering.
In 2020, we have had to make some changes due to continuous breaking changes in the underlying Facebook Graph API. The following includes a list of the changes made.
Deprecations in Graph API v7.0
The following tables / views have been removed as of 7.0 due to their removal or deprecated utility in Facebook:

Deprecations in Graph API v6.0
The following columns have been removed as of 6.0 due to their removal or restriction in Facebook:
