Activate Ad Manager and Connect Your Meta Assets

The first time you open Ad Manager, a short onboarding flow links your Facebook profile, a Meta ads account and a Facebook Page. Complete it once and the full workspace unlocks.

Before you begin

• Ad Manager is available for your account.
• You are signed in to Facebook with the profile that can access your Meta Business Portfolio, ads account and Page.
• The ads account is active and, if Meta requires it, has a payment method on file.
• You hold the Facebook permissions needed to share the Page and ad account.

Remember that Ad Manager access and ad spend are separate. Meta bills ad spend through the payment method on your ads account.

Run the setup

1. Click Marketing in the left menu, then Ad Manager.
2. On the welcome screen, click Activate Ads Manager.
3. Under Manage accounts, click Connect Facebook, then sign in and approve the requested permissions.
4. Back in Vendi Today, open Select a Meta ads account and pick the account these campaigns should use.
5. Under Which Facebook page do you want to connect?, find your Page and click Connect.
6. When the Page shows as connected, click Get started.

Fix common blockers

• Ads account not listed: you are probably signed in to the wrong Facebook profile, or that profile lacks access to the portfolio or ad account.
• Page not listed: the profile needs access to the Page, and the Page must have been ticked during authorization.
• Connect button greyed out: pick a valid ads account first.
• Get started disabled: both an ads account and a connected Page are required.
• Wrong profile connected: log out of Facebook in your browser, sign in with the right profile and repeat the flow.

Adding Pages later

Open Marketing > Ad Manager > Settings > Platform settings, find Facebook pages, and click + Connect Facebook Page(s).

Good to know: If you have no Business Portfolio yet, create one in Meta Business Suite first, then add your ads account and Page to it.
