# Getting Started with Adsap Set up Adsap in a few minutes. Connect Meta, link an ad account, let your campaigns load, and create your first ads. Canonical: https://adsap.ai/docs/getting-started Updated: 2026-09-13 Setup takes a few minutes. This page covers connecting your Meta account, linking an ad account, and getting ready to create your first ads. > **Running Google Ads?** Connect Google Ads first, or instead, and add Meta later. Sign in with Google from the connect step or from Settings, pick your customer accounts, and follow the Google setup. Details in the [Google Ads integration](/integrations/google-ads) guide. The steps below cover Meta. ## Setup Overview Four steps: 1. **Connect your Meta account**: Sign in with Facebook Login for Business and grant Adsap access to your Meta ad accounts. 2. **Connect an ad account**: Pick the Meta ad account or accounts you want to run in Adsap. 3. **Let your campaigns load**: Existing campaigns and their history sync on their own. 4. **Complete the setup checklist**: Check your configuration and confirm everything is ready. You can do them in any order. Top to bottom is easiest. --- ## Step 1: Connect Your Meta Account Adsap needs permission to read your Meta ad accounts and performance data, and to create ads. It uses Facebook Login for Business, so you sign in through Meta's OAuth flow. ### How to connect - Open **Settings** in the Adsap web dashboard at [app.adsap.ai](https://app.adsap.ai) - Click **Connect** on the Meta card - Log in with your Facebook credentials - Grant the requested permissions (ad accounts, Pages, and Instagram accounts) - Confirm the connection ### Adsap uses Meta permissions to: - Read campaign performance data - Create and publish ads - Read audience and pixel data - Sync campaign data into Adsap for reporting and the AI Copilot > **Note:** Adsap never shares your data with third parties. It uses the data only to run your campaigns and show you insights inside Adsap. For the full walkthrough, see [Connect Meta](/getting-started/connect-meta). --- ## Step 2: Connect an Ad Account Once you have connected your Meta profile, link one or more Meta ad accounts. Adsap syncs data from these accounts and publishes new ads to them. ### How to connect an ad account - Open **Settings** - Find the account under **Accounts Requiring Setup** and click **Start setup** - Work through the setup wizard for that account Adsap then starts syncing that account's data. See [Account Setup Wizard](/getting-started/setup-wizard). ### Ad account limits On the **Free** plan, one Meta ad account and one Google Ads account. If your Meta login can see more than one, one stays active and Adsap parks the others. Pick the active one from the Integrations card in **Settings** and swap any time. On **Early Access**, unlimited ad accounts on both platforms. See [Pricing](/pricing). ### If you do not see your ad account - Check that you have **Admin** or **Advertiser** access in Meta Business Manager - Click **Reconnect** to refresh your ad account list - Confirm Meta has not disabled the ad account - Ask the Business Manager owner to update your permissions if needed For the full walkthrough, see [Connect Ad Account](/getting-started/connect-ad-account). --- ## Step 3: Let your existing campaigns load Nothing to import. Once you connect an ad account, Adsap syncs its campaigns, ad sets, ads and performance history, and keeps them current in the background. Give a large account a few minutes, then open **Performance** to check your campaigns are there. Two things to know while you wait: - **The dashboard never shows today.** Every range ends at yesterday in the account's own timezone, on purpose. See [Insights](/guides/insights). - **Creatives are a separate step.** The sync brings campaign structure and performance, not the images and videos. To pull those in, use [Import from Meta](/guides/creatives/import-from-meta) in the Creative Library. --- ## Step 4: Complete the Setup Checklist The Setup Checklist on the dashboard tracks each onboarding step. Finish every step and setup is complete. For the full walkthrough, see [Setup Checklist](/getting-started/setup-checklist). --- ## You Are Ready With setup done, you can: - **Create ads** in Ad Sheets for bulk work, or by chat with the AI Copilot - **Track performance** across every campaign in the dashboard - **Use Ad Templates** to set defaults that apply to every new ad - **Manage your Creative Library** and pull assets in from Google Drive or Dropbox - **Ask the AI Copilot** to list campaigns, create ads, pull insights or audit your account ### Navigating the Adsap Dashboard | Section | What you will use it for | |---|---| | Performance | Dashboard, recommendations, and what to show on them | | Creative Hub | Uploading creatives and browsing your library | | Ad Launcher | Campaigns, ad sets, ad sheets, templates | | Automation | Rules that act on your numbers, and their activity log | | Account Defaults | Launch settings and creative enhancements per ad account | | AI Copilot | Connecting Claude, ChatGPT or Perplexity | | Settings | Integrations, connected ad accounts, email notifications | | Workspaces | Members, roles and billing | ### FAQs **Can I connect more than one ad account?** On Early Access, yes: unlimited ad accounts on Meta and Google Ads. The Free plan connects one ad account per platform. Extra accounts stay parked until you swap the active one in Settings or upgrade. See [Pricing](/pricing). **Do I have to import my campaigns?** No. Campaigns, ad sets, ads and performance history sync on their own once you connect an ad account. Creatives are the one thing you pull in yourself, with [Import from Meta](/guides/creatives/import-from-meta). **Can I use the AI Copilot right away?** Yes, once you have added the Adsap MCP connector at `mcp.adsap.ai` to your assistant. The copilot works with whatever data your account holds. **How does billing work?** Two plans. **Free** is $0/month with no card required: one ad account per platform and 10 tasks a month. **Early Access** is $29/month with a 7-day free trial: unlimited accounts, unlimited tasks and every feature. Manage it under **Settings, then Workspaces, then the Billing tab**. Cancel anytime. See [Pricing](/pricing). **What if I need help during setup?** Email **jeremy@adsap.ai**. ### Next Steps A few things to try: 1. Create your first ad in [Ad Sheets](/guides) or with the AI Copilot 2. Review campaign performance in the dashboard 3. Set up Ad Templates so new ads start with your defaults 4. Add the AI Copilot connector at `mcp.adsap.ai` to run ads by chat
