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/pricing, pick a plan 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 reads your data to diagnose. When you approve a change, it can pause or resume a campaign, ad set, or ad, adjust a schedule, or create a new ad as a PAUSED draft that never runs until you launch it — never budgets or bids, and reversible in one click.

Step 4: Confirm & sync

Once authorized, SENTRUM will begin syncing your historical data. Small accounts finish in a few minutes; larger accounts keep syncing in the background — sometimes for a few hours — and your data appears progressively as it lands.

What permissions does SENTRUM need?

•ads_read — to pull campaign, ad set, and ad-level performance data

•ads_management — used only to apply the changes you approve: pause/resume, ad set or campaign schedule, and creating a new ad as a PAUSED draft (never budgets or bids)

•business_management — to list the ad accounts you can connect

Nothing changes in your account without your explicit approval, and you can revoke access anytime. 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
