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.
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.
Key Benefits
A correct Facebook connection keeps the Meta assets you need available directly inside Ad Manager.
- Access Meta Assets: Use connected Facebook Pages and Meta ads accounts in Ad Manager.
- Simplify Campaign Setup: Connect required assets before creating Meta campaigns.
- Reduce Permission Issues: Correct authorization helps prevent missing Pages and ad accounts.

- Ad Manager enabled for the sub-account
