Connecting Ad Platforms

Step-by-step guide to connecting Google Ads, Meta, TikTok, and other platforms.

Connect your advertising platforms to automatically sync spend data. AdBudgetBuddy uses secure OAuth connections - we never store your platform credentials.

Supported Platforms

Currently supported integrations:

  • Google Ads
  • Meta (Facebook & Instagram Ads)
  • TikTok Ads
  • LinkedIn Ads
  • Twitter/X Ads
  • Pinterest Ads
  • Snapchat Ads
  • Microsoft Advertising (Bing)
  • Amazon Ads
  • And 30+ more platforms

Connecting Google Ads

Follow these steps:

  • Go to Settings > Integrations > Google Ads
  • Click 'Connect Google Ads'
  • Sign in with your Google account that has Google Ads access
  • Grant AdBudgetBuddy read-only access to your Google Ads data
  • Select the accounts you want to sync

We only request read-only access. AdBudgetBuddy cannot modify your campaigns or change your ad spend.

Connecting Meta (Facebook/Instagram)

Follow these steps:

  • Go to Settings > Integrations > Meta
  • Click 'Connect Meta Business'
  • Sign in with your Facebook account
  • Select the ad accounts to connect
  • Grant read-only permissions

Data Sync Frequency

Spend data syncs automatically every 4 hours. You can also manually trigger a sync from the dashboard by clicking the refresh icon.

Troubleshooting Connection Issues

Common issues and solutions:

  • Permission denied: Ensure your account has admin access to the ad account
  • Account not showing: Try disconnecting and reconnecting the integration
  • Stale data: Click the manual sync button to fetch latest spend
  • Connection expired: Re-authenticate by clicking 'Reconnect'
