Setting Up Facebook Ad Accounts and Pages
Updated
Set up your Facebook ad account and page in Sprinklr and manage all your social media activities within a single space.
While adding any account into Sprinklr, the user who adds the account (Account Owner) authenticates the access based upon their native permissions. Users who access this account via Sprinklr do not need to have native permissions, as their Sprinklr activity is run through the API via the native permissions of the Account Owner. Before adding ad accounts and pages to which you want to advertise through Sprinklr, the Account Owner must have the appropriate native permissions.
This article will guide you on how to set up your Facebook Ad Account and Pages in Sprinklr with the appropriate authentication on the native platform. Follow the steps below to add your Facebook Ad Account and Pages –
