12. How to Add Meta Ads Account Credentials
Path in Zenith:
Manage → Credentials (or inline in Meta Ads → Create Campaign)There are two ways to connect a Meta Ads account: add it once as a credential in Manage, or connect it inline the first time you build a campaign.
- 1
Go to Manage → Credentials → '+ Add Credential' → choose 'Meta Ads Account'.
Capture: Manage → Credentials, Add Credential dialog with Meta Ads Account selected. Highlight: the Meta Ads Account option. - 2
Either click 'Connect with Facebook' and authorise via the Meta OAuth popup, or paste a Marketing API access token manually.
- 3
Save. You can also connect the same way inline on the first step of Meta Ads → Create Campaign if you'd rather do it while building your first ad.
Good to know
- •There is no 'Settings → Integrations' screen in Zenith — Meta Ads credentials live under Manage → Credentials, or inline inside the campaign builder.
Tips
- •'No ad accounts found'? Create one: business.facebook.com → Business Settings → Accounts → Ad Accounts → Add.
- •Add a payment method first (Ads Manager → Billing → Payment Settings) or campaigns won't publish.
- •You must be Admin (not just Advertiser) on the ad account for the connection to work.
