Level: Beginner | Time: 3–5 minutes

Connecting your Meta (Facebook + Instagram) account to Samson-AI is the first step to launching your smart, automated ad campaigns. In this quick guide, you’ll learn exactly how to do it — and what to expect along the way.

What You Need Before You Start:

  • A personal Facebook profile (you’ll log in with this)

  • A Meta Business Account (see Blog #2 if you don’t have one)

  • Access to one Facebook Page

  • Access to one Ad Account with billing info

🛠 Step-by-Step: Connect Meta to Samson-AI

1. Log into Your Samson-AI Dashboard

After signing in, click on Settings in the left-hand menu. You’ll land on your User Profile page.

2. Click “Link Meta Account”

On the right side, you’ll see this button:
🔵 Link Meta Account

Click it. This sends you to Meta’s official login screen (Facebook/Instagram).

3. Log in with Facebook

Use your Facebook login (your personal profile that manages your business assets).

🧠 Don’t worry — Samson-AI won’t post anything to your Facebook. We only use this connection to run your ads on your behalf.

4. Choose Your Business, Page, and Ad Account

Meta will ask you to select:

  • 1 Business Account

  • 1 Facebook Page

  • 1 Ad Account

🚨 Only pick one of each. This is important for Samson-AI to know exactly where to place your ads.

If any of these are missing or unavailable, you may need to first set up your Meta Business Account. See Blog #2: Troubleshooting Meta Access.

5. Approve All Permissions

You’ll be shown a list of permissions. Don’t worry — Samson only asks for what’s needed to:

  • Create and run ads

  • Track performance

  • Improve your results automatically

Click Continue and Approve All.

6. You’re Done! ✅

You’ll be redirected back to Samson-AI. If everything went well:

  • You’ll see your Meta Page ID and Ad Account ID automatically filled in under your profile.

  • You can now start using Samson-AI’s Ads tool to generate and manage campaigns in minutes.

🧠 What If Something Goes Wrong?

If the connection fails or you see an error that says:

Uh Oh!
It doesn't seem like you have a business page!

It means something is missing or you don’t have the right permissions. Head to our Blog #2: Fixing Meta Account Errors to solve it.
