Best way to track different ad sets on Facebook? Using Voluum

Im trying to track individually the ad sets on Facebook on the same campaign, any tips will be really appreciated!

Facebook doesn't have any dynamic tracking tokens but you can manually set them in Voluum, like this:

Click image for larger version. 

Name:	Screen Shot 2016-04-28 at 8.37.58 PM.png 
Views:	126 
Size:	56.9 KB

After that, your Facebook url will look like this: http://example.com/?ad={ad}&dm={dm}&md={md}

Ad = Ad (this is self explanatory)
Dm = Age
Md = Medium (mobile / desktop)

Next you will need to manually update this url for each ad set. Let's say that you will name your first ad set "moneystacker" and will be targeting 20-50 year olds, desktop traffic only. Your url will look like this: http://example.com/?ad=moneystacker&dm=20-50&md=desktop

After that, once you get some data, you will be able to track everything in Voluum and see which ad set / age group / medium converted better for you.

So there is no way to ad macros to automatically tell if it's a certain age group or desktop/ mobile?

Mrdunns you can drill down into the specific age group and filter it by Device Type

Thank you very much! i guess my issue is that i set up the Ads by using the link on the post, pretty much clickable Image ads i cant edit the url unless i set it up on the Facebook.
So i will do that from now on create the ad on Power Editor so i can edit the link on each ad set.
Thank you!!!

Hey bro, I do it exactly like lolzap said. For the link in the post, I just put my Voluum link inside a url shortened like goo.gl, pretty links on Wordpress, or also Shopify's link redirect.
