What are Recipes? 

AdRoll recipes are automated sequences set in motion by a specific trigger and include one or more steps. They make it easy to nurture relationships with prospects and customers over the course of their lifecycle with automated messaging across ads on the open web, email, and social channels such as Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok.

How it Works

We've combined a recommended list of ingredients to help you achieve your desired marketing goal. For example, the browse abandonment recipe includes web ads, social ads across Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, TikTok, and emails that all target the same audience and optimize towards the same goal of re-engaging browse abandoners.

Important: AdRoll will only bill for the web spend. All social spend is billed directly by the social channels.
