Connect Meta Ads
By the end of this page, Advec will be watching the Meta campaigns you choose and logging every change to them.
Before you start
You need access to the Meta ad accounts you want to track — Advec can only see what your Meta user can see. Advec requests read-only access; it never changes anything in your account.
Connect and choose what to track
- Open your project and click Connect Meta Ads.
- A Meta authorization window opens. Sign in (if needed) and approve the requested access.
- Back in Advec, you'll see the ad accounts your Meta user has access to. Pick the accounts you want to track in this project.
- For each account, pick the campaigns to monitor — all of them, or a subset.
- Confirm. Advec takes an initial snapshot and starts monitoring.
The "auto-add new campaigns" toggle
When choosing campaigns you'll see an auto-add new campaigns option per account. With it on, campaigns created in that ad account later are tracked automatically — useful when you want full coverage without revisiting settings. With it off, Advec only ever tracks the campaigns you explicitly selected.
You can connect multiple Meta ad accounts to one project — repeat the connect flow for each, or select several accounts in one pass.
What happens next
Advec polls your account every 30 minutes. The first changes will appear in your project's change feed as soon as something in a tracked campaign differs from the snapshot.
Next: Connect Google Ads or set up website monitoring.
