Meta Insights Quick Start Guide

Prerequisites

Before you begin, ensure you have the following:

1. Facebook Business Manager account with an active Meta Ads account

2. Ad account permissions - The person authenticating must have ads_management permission to the ad account you want to connect. Without this permission, audience syncing will fail.

3. Active ad campaigns - The integration pulls data from your running or completed campaigns

Note for agency-managed accounts: If your Meta ad account is managed by an agency, you may need to coordinate with them to grant the appropriate permissions before authenticating.

Getting Started

1. Get Your Ad Account ID

   - Navigate to https://business.facebook.com/settings - Click Ad Accounts in the left sidebar - Select the ad account you want to connect - Locate your Ad Account ID from the top of the page (numeric ID like 1429010052379)

2. Create the Meta Insights Destination in Freshpaint

   - In Freshpaint, navigate to your Integrations page and search for Meta Insights - Click "Ad Account ID" to connect your Account ID - Click "Access Permission" to grant permission to link to your Meta account

3. Enable Destination - Click on the "Enable" button at the top of the configuration settings
