# Connect Meta

> Connect a Meta ad account to a brand so you can see performance, launch ads and let Spark manage spend.

Connecting Meta lets Adrio read your ad performance and create ads in your account. Each brand connects to one Meta ad account.

## Connect an ad account

1. Open **Settings** → **Integrations**, or **Integrations** in the sidebar.
2. On the **Meta Ads** card, click **Connect** and sign in with Facebook. Grant the requested permissions.
3. On **Choose a Meta ad account**, search for and select the account, then click **Connect account**.
4. On **Meta Launch Settings**, choose the **Default Facebook Page** (required), the **Default Instagram account** and the **Pixel**. A **Default campaign** and **Default ad set** are optional.
5. Save. The card now shows **Connected** with the account, timezone and business ID.

> [!TIP]
> Turn on **Launch ads as paused** in [Launch defaults](https://adrio.ai/docs/launch-ads#launch-defaults) so nothing goes live until you turn it on in Ads Manager.

## Fix launch blockers

The Meta card lists anything that would stop a launch, such as a missing Page or pixel, with a button to fix each one: **Choose Page**, **Choose pixel**, **Open Ads Manager** or **Open Events Manager**. Click **Edit settings** to change your defaults later.

## Set spend limits

Spend limits cap what Spark and automations can spend. Spark can't go past them even when you approve a change. Open **Spend limits** on the Meta card.

| Limit | What it caps |
|---|---|
| **Per campaign or ad set** | The most any single campaign or ad set can spend per day |
| **Whole account** | All running budgets added together, per day |
| **Spend per month** | Spark stops raising spend once the month would pass this |
| **Change pace** | How fast Spark may raise a budget, per change and per 24 hours. Big jumps restart Meta's learning. |

Leave a field empty for no limit. Automations only add spend once both daily limits are set.

## If the connection expires

Meta connections expire from time to time. When that happens the card shows **Connection expired**. Reconnect from the same card.

## Disconnect

Click **Disconnect** on the Meta card. Ads already in your Meta account aren't affected.
