Connect Facebook to Ad Manager
Connect your Facebook profile, Meta ads account, and Facebook Page to Ad Manager so you can create and manage Meta campaigns. Using the correct Facebook profile and permissions helps prevent missing Pages or ad accounts during setup.
What You'll Learn

Learn how to connect Facebook to Ad Manager, choose the correct Meta ads account and Page, add more Pages, and resolve common connection or permission issues.

Important

When Facebook asks which Pages to share, keep all applicable Pages selected. Deselecting a previously authorized Page during reconnection can remove access for an existing connection.

What Does the Facebook Connection Do?

Connecting Facebook gives Ad Manager access to the Meta assets needed for campaign creation. During setup, you connect your Facebook profile, a Meta ads account, and at least one Facebook Page.
