Connect TrendTrack

Meta’s own free library has two limits that matter. It never says where an ad leads, so Shopdeck has to guess which product an ad is for by matching words in the text. And outside the EU it only shows a slice of what is running.

TrendTrack brings the landing page and the creative image with every ad. That means an ad is tied to a product with certainty instead of by guesswork, which is what makes the Winners screen fill up.

1. Switch on the Public API

   In TrendTrack, an admin of your TrendTrack workspace has to enable the Public API first. Until they do, the tab you need does not exist.

2. Open Workspace settings, then API

   Create a key there. TrendTrack shows it once, when it is created.

3. Paste it into Shopdeck

   Setup → the TrendTrack card, or app.shopdeck.io/setup?service=trendtrack.

   Field in Shopdeck	What goes in it, and where to find it
   TrendTrack API key	The key from Workspace settings → API. Required.

   Save, then Test connection. It reports your plan and how many credits you have left.

• Checking your balance — press Test connection on the TrendTrack card. It reports credits remaining, quota used and when the period resets.
• “Skipping this run” — when the balance drops below the reserve, Shopdeck says so once at the start of a run and does not ask TrendTrack anything that run. Other sources carry on as normal. You will see a line like “59 credits left, below the reserve of 1,500”.
• “Get the pictures” — the button on a winner card fetches that product’s creatives on demand and tells you afterwards how many credits it used. This is the one place you spend credits by pressing something rather than on a schedule.

The sensible habit: let the nightly runs work with the free sources, and spend credits deliberately, on products you have already decided are interesting.
