Connecting Meta

Before you start

You need an ADSflow account. Log in or create one on any plan.
In Meta, you need admin or advertiser access to the ad accounts you want to manage, and access to the Pages your ads run from.
If your ad accounts belong to a Business portfolio, you need a role in that portfolio that lets you manage them.

In ADSflow, open Settings → Connections and press Connect Meta account.
Meta's window opens. Press Continue with Facebook and sign in to Facebook there - ADSflow never sees your password.
Choose the Business portfolios, ad accounts and Pages ADSflow may access. You can select assets from several Business portfolios.
Review the permissions listed below and confirm. Meta returns you to ADSflow.
ADSflow syncs your assets. They appear under Ad accounts within a minute.

These permissions power connections, launches, statistics, campaigns and rules.

Permission	Why ADSflow asks for it	Where you see it
`public_profile`	Identify the person who connects their Meta business assets to ADSflow (name and app-scoped ID).	Connections
`ads_management`	Create paused campaigns, ad sets and ads, upload creatives, and pause, activate or change budgets of ads the user manages.	New launch, Campaigns, Rules
`ads_read`	Read campaign structure and performance insights to show reports and evaluate the user's automated rules.	Statistics, Overview, Rules
`business_management`	List the business portfolios the user belongs to and the ad accounts and Pages owned by them.	Ad accounts, Connections
`pages_show_list`	Show the Pages the user manages so they can pick the Page that will run the ads.	Ad accounts, New launch (Page selector)
`pages_read_engagement`	Read Page details and posts used as ad creatives, and engagement on those posts.	New launch, Comments
`pages_manage_ads`	Create ads that run on behalf of the selected Page.	New launch

These permissions are needed only for the Comments screen, where you read and moderate comments under your ads and Page posts.

Permission	Why ADSflow asks for it	Where you see it
`pages_read_user_content`	Read comments people leave under the user's ads so the team can moderate them.	Comments
`pages_manage_engagement`	Hide, unhide, delete and reply to comments under the user's ads.	Comments
`pages_manage_metadata`	Subscribe the user's Pages to webhooks so new comments arrive in real time.	Comments

If anyone asks you for these on behalf of ADSflow, do not share them and write to security@adsflow.tech.

Add or remove assets: press Connect Meta account again and change your selection in Meta's window.
Re-sync: in Settings → Connections, use the sync action on a connection to refresh ad accounts and Pages.
Disconnect: press Disconnect and delete data. ADSflow revokes its permissions and deletes data received from Meta within 30 days.
From Facebook: remove ADSflow under Settings & privacy → Settings → Business Integrations. See Data Deletion.

An ad account is missing. Check that you selected it in Meta's window and that you have admin or advertiser access to it, then connect again.
Connection shows "expired" or "error". Meta may have ended the session, for example after a password change. Press Connect Meta account to renew it.
Some actions fail with a rate limit. Meta limits how many requests an app can make per ad account. ADSflow waits and retries automatically.
