Check out this article for a general overview of the connection process!
This connection is made using a Facebook Business Manager account. In some cases, you may have the Facebook Business Manager account associated to your personal Facebook account. Don't fret, ChannelMix will not pull any personal information unless you associate a profile to your personal account.
Profile Association and Values
A ChannelMix Profile is a one-to-one relationship to a Facebook Ads account. If multiple Ads Accounts are needed then you should create multiple ChannelMix Profiles under the client needing to connect to multiple Ads Accounts.
If your use case requires your account to be filtered below the Ads Account level (i.e. you need your ChannelMix Profile to only be specific campaigns under an account), it is possible in ChannelMix but you'll need to submit a request to our support team to help define that ChannelMix Profile for you.
Required User Permission Levels
The authenticating user must have access to a Meta Business Account.
