How to set up automation
Sign in to your Albato account. Go to the Automation section and click the Create new automation button.

- Choose Facebook.
- Choose the Ad expenses event.
- Specify your Facebook connection.
Click the Add a trigger button and move on to the next step - set up an action.
Actions are what Albato performs when your automation is running. Actions also allow you to transfer data to other apps and systems.

- Specify your Albato Telegram bot connection.
