Meta is a photo and video-sharing social networking service. It supports multiple advertising types across Facebook, Instagram, Audience Network, and Messenger.
Set up a connection
After you start the connection, configure it in the Create connection panel and complete all of the required * authentication settings.
Setting | Instructions |
---|---|
Name your connection * | Enter a clear and distinguishable name. Throughout integrator.io imports and exports, you will have the option to choose this new connection. A unique identifier will prove helpful later when selecting it from a list of the connections in your account. |
API type * | Choose the API type, depending on the Meta API type you're connecting to (Instagram Ads or Facebook Ads). The settings then become specific to the selected API type. |
OAuth 2.0 client * |
Select the OAuth 2.0 client that stores the client ID and client secret provided to you by Meta. |
Scopes * |
Scopes are OAuth 2.0 permissions that the Meta API defines to limit access to your account. |
