How to connect your Meta ad account

Connecting your Meta ad account to SENTRUM takes less than 2 minutes and uses secure OAuth — we never see your password.

Step 1: Sign up or log in

Head to sentrum.app/sign-up and create your account, or sign in if you already have one.

Step 2: Click "Connect Ad Account"

From your dashboard, click the Connect Ad Account button. You'll be redirected to Meta's authorization page.

Step 3: Authorize SENTRUM

Select the ad account(s) you want to connect. SENTRUM requests read-only access — we can never modify your campaigns, budgets, or ads.

Step 4: Confirm & sync

Once authorized, SENTRUM will begin syncing your historical data. Initial sync typically takes 5–15 minutes depending on account size.

What permissions does SENTRUM need?

•ads_read — to pull campaign, ad set, and ad-level performance data
•insights — to access reporting metrics (CPM, CPA, ROAS, etc.)

We follow the principle of least-privilege access. Learn more about our data practices.

Troubleshooting

If you see an error during authorization, make sure:

•You have admin or advertiser access to the ad account
•The ad account is active (not disabled or in review)
•You're logged into the correct Meta Business account
