The Account Ingestion feature allows you to connect new and and existing advertising accounts with Backpack, ensuring that your data is always up-to-date. This is done using polling sources, which work like bridges between Backpack and external data sources. Backpack syncs polling sources daily, pulling in any new accounts it detects and updating changes to existing accounts.
