Connect Facebook to Ad Manager in Sparkforge

By Sparkforge Support Team ·Last reviewed May 3, 2026

Activate Ad Manager from your sub-account, sign into Facebook, grant the requested permissions, choose an eligible Meta ad account, and connect the Page you want to advertise from.

Ad Manager lets you publish Meta ad campaigns from inside Sparkforge. Before you can launch a campaign, your sub-account has to subscribe to Ad Manager and connect Facebook.

Subscribe to Ad Manager

The agency owner can grant Ad Manager access to specific staff under Settings → Teams by toggling the Ad Manager role permission on a team member.

From the sub-account, open Marketing → Ad Manager.
Click Activate Ad Manager.
Click Pay and Subscribe. The agency's Stripe account creates the recurring subscription against the card on file.

The subscription fee is what the agency charges the sub-account each month for unlimited campaign publishing. Actual ad spend is billed separately by Meta against the card attached to the connected Meta ad account.

Connect Facebook

Click Connect Facebook. You'll be sent to Facebook to sign in and approve permissions.
Toggle on every requested permission, including access to your Business Manager. Missing permissions will block campaign publishing later.
Pick a Meta ad account from the Select Ad Account dropdown. Only ad accounts attached to the connected Business Manager appear.

Connect a Facebook Page

Pick a Page from the list, then click Connect. Only Pages attached to the same Business Manager are eligible. Once linked, click Get Started to build your first campaign.

To attach more Pages later, open Ad Manager → Settings → Pages and click Connect Facebook page(s).

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my Meta ad account missing from the dropdown?

Only ad accounts owned by the Business Manager you connected during Facebook auth appear in the list. If the account belongs to a different Business Manager, switch users or move the ad account into the right Business Manager.

Can I connect more than one Facebook Page?

Yes. The onboarding flow links one Page. Add more under Ad Manager Settings, then the Pages tab, by clicking Connect Facebook page(s).

Who pays for the ads?

The subscription fee goes to the agency through Stripe. The actual ad spend is billed by Meta against the card attached to your Meta ad account.

What if my ad account status is Disabled?

Disabled and Closed accounts cannot be connected. Resolve the policy violation with Meta or use a different eligible ad account.
