Meta Ads and GitHub share no customer or visit identifier. askotter puts them on one timeline instead, so a change in Meta ad clicks can be read against what GitHub recorded in the same hours.
What anomaly detection uses from each
Anomaly detection needs a steady daily series with a known normal range.
From Meta Ads that means CPM, frequency and spend by ad set per day. From GitHub it means deployment times to line up against metric breaks.
What each tool sees on its ownShow less
Meta Ads on its own
Meta sees who saw and clicked an ad. It cannot see a sale its pixel missed, and lead-form contacts stop being visible to it once they leave Facebook or Instagram.
Timing. Meta reports conversions under its own attribution setting, seven days after a click and one day after a view by default.
Access. The Meta Marketing API with read access to the ad account.
GitHub on its own
GitHub knows what code changed and when. It cannot tell you whether that change cost you leads or sales.
Timing. GitHub timestamps every commit, merge and deployment to the second.
Access. A GitHub App or token with read access to the repositories you choose.
