Facebook Ads

Step-by-step guide to connecting your Facebook Ads account and syncing campaign data seamlessly.

Authorize Connection to Facebook Ads

Ensure that the account you're granting access to holds at admin-level permissions for your Facebook Ads accounts.

Navigate to Data Integration -> Connectors

1. Click on "Connect A new platform"

 

2. Select Facebook Ads and follow the on-screen prompts to grant the necessary permissions to access and retrieve your data.

Upon successful connection of the Facebook Ads account, you will be presented with a dashboard displaying your linked Facebook accounts and associated ad accounts. This dashboard will also feature four buttons located directly beneath the Facebook Account section:

  • Add a New Account: This button enables you to link additional Facebook Ads accounts to the platform.
  • Reauthorize: This button allows you to refresh the authorization for your Facebook Ads account, ensuring continued data access.
  • Test Connection: This button initiates a test to verify the connectivity between the platform and the Facebook Ads account.
  • Delete Connection: This button severs the link between the platform and the Facebook Ads account, removing the account and its data from the dashboard.
