Connecting an ad account

Your ad account is linked, with the permissions the push actually needs.

Most connection problems are permission problems, and they show up later as a push that fails rather than as an error during setup.

Steps

  1. Sign in to the ad platform with an account that already has access to the ad account you want.
  2. Grant the permissions the connection asks for. Declining one usually breaks a feature rather than reducing scope safely.
  3. Confirm the right ad account is selected, not just the right login. People with agency access often have several.
  4. Check the connection shows as active before you rely on it.

Who should connect it

Someone with lasting access. If the connection is made by a contractor whose access is removed later, it stops working at that point.

What to watch for

Personal logins with temporary access to a client account are the most common cause of a connection that works for a month and then does not.
