Læs siden på dansk You connect Meta Ads by logging in with Meta (Facebook) and approving the Consile app for your ad accounts. The result is an access token that Consile stores encrypted per customer. Your AI never sees the token itself.
Meta Ads must be bought in the portal or be included in your plan (the free edition or the Consile Studio membership), and your AI must be connected (Claude or ChatGPT). You must be able to log in as the Meta user that has access to the ad accounts you want to connect. Anyone on the team can connect an agreement that is not connected yet. Only an administrator can reconnect it or disconnect it.
Meta Ads can both read your ad data and create and manage campaigns. Anything that puts something live, changes a budget or archives requires your confirmation. See Actions & guardrails before you start using the write functions.

​
How to connect

1

Open the connector in the portal

Open Meta Ads in the portal. Click Connect now at the top of the page, or Connect next to the agreement on the Connections card. The portal calls each connection to the system an agreement. Click Authorise access in the window. You are sent to Meta’s own login and approval page.
2

Log in with Meta

Log in as the Meta user that manages your ad accounts. Choose the right user if you have several. The access follows the user you approve with.
3

Approve all permissions

Meta shows what the Consile app is asking for access to. Approve all the permissions to continue. You are then sent back automatically to the portal, which shows Meta Ads is connected.
Consile now has access to your ad accounts. The agreement shows as Connected in the portal, and your AI can read your ad data and manage campaigns under guardrails.
4

Lock the connection to one ad account (optional)

The page also shows The key reaches several companies. Choose the one this connection should be locked to, and every call keeps to it. If you want your AI to work in only one ad account on this agreement, click Choose company. Choose the account under Choose ad account, and click Lock to this company. This requires an administrator.If you do not want to lock, click Go to connector. Your AI then chooses the account per request. See Lock a connection to one company.

​
What exactly am I approving?

In one approval step, Consile asks for the whole set of permissions the connector uses for its three tasks: measuring, creating/managing and fetching leads.
Approve all the permissions in Meta’s dialog. If you uncheck even one of them, the connection is not completed: the portal shows Connection was not completed (technical reason unknown). Click Try again to get back to the Meta Ads page, and start over with Connect now or Connect. If Meta’s dialog does not ask again for the permission you deselected, remove Consile under Business integrations in your Facebook settings and then connect again.

Read + manage behind guardrails

The connector can read your ad data and manage campaigns. Everything new is created paused, and anything that spends money, changes a budget or archives requires your explicit confirmation; otherwise you only get a preview.

Access per account

The connector sees the ad accounts and Pages that the connected Meta user has access to, and that you gave access to in Meta’s dialog. Your AI chooses the right account per request, unless the connection is locked to one ad account.

Encrypted per customer

The token is stored encrypted with a key that applies only to your own account, and is never logged.

Your AI never sees it

Your AI is never given the token itself, only answers to your questions.

​
Write functions and guardrails

Meta Ads has 39 tools: 34 for reading (statistics, campaign structure, creatives, audiences, leads) and 5 for managing. The five write tools are create_campaign, create_ad_set, create_ad, update_status and update_budget. Your AI calls them as meta-ads__<tool> (for example meta-ads__create_campaign). The safety is built into the connector:
  • New items are created paused by default. New campaigns, ad sets and ads are created as PAUSED and spend no money until you ask for it. Creating them as ACTIVE requires confirm: true.
  • Going live, budget and archiving require confirmation. Activating (ACTIVE), changing a budget or archiving requires an explicit confirm: true. Without it, the tool only returns a preview of what it would do, and sends nothing to Meta.
  • No deletion. The Meta connector cannot delete, only archive.
On a connection that is locked to one ad account, update_status and update_budget are not available. The same applies to 9 read tools, for example the ones for leads, Pages and query. See Lock a connection to one company. Meta Ads does not have the Read only level. A user with All tools under Team also gets the five write tools. If a user should only read, an administrator chooses Custom and only the read tools. See Custom access. Read the whole model in Actions & guardrails.

​
The access expires, and you reconnect about every 60 days

The access to Meta usually expires after about 60 days. So expect to reconnect Meta Ads about every 60 days.
When the access has expired, your AI gets a message that Meta Ads must be reconnected. If the access has been revoked at Meta, for example because you changed your password, the calls can instead fail with the general message Tool invocation failed. The portal can still show Connected, because access is stored.
How an administrator reconnects:
  • If the agreement says Access revoked, click Reconnect, and approve all the permissions again.
  • Otherwise: click the menu (the three dots) next to the agreement on the Connections card, choose Disconnect, and confirm with Disconnect. This only deletes the stored token at Consile, and the subscription continues. Then click Connect, and approve all the permissions again.
  • You can also ask your AI to reconnect Meta Ads. The connector has the tool connect_account, which gives a link straight to Meta’s approval. The link works for 10 minutes, and the new token replaces the old one. Ask in the connector that belongs to the agreement (for example meta-ads-2), so the link connects exactly that agreement.
If the connection is locked to one ad account, the ad account must be chosen again every time you have reconnected. After Reconnect or a link from your AI, Consile refuses all calls on the agreement until an administrator has chosen it. If you disconnected first, the lock is gone, and your AI can reach all of the user’s ad accounts until the account has been chosen again. See After a new connection.

​
Multiple Meta logins and ad accounts

One agreement covers the ad accounts and Pages that the connected Meta user has access to. There are two reasons to add another agreement:
  • Another Meta user. Connect the new agreement with the other user.
  • One ad account per agreement. Connect the new agreement with the same Meta user, and lock each agreement to its own ad account. Then each account has its own address in your AI, and your AI only reaches the account the agreement is locked to. An ad account can only be locked on one agreement at a time.
How to do it:
  1. On the Connections card, an administrator clicks Add agreement (149.50 kr/mo.). The agreement is added to the subscription and charged pro rata for the rest of the period.
  2. When the new agreement is ready (typically after a few seconds), click Connect next to it and log in with the Meta user the agreement should use.
  3. Each agreement has its own address, for example https://mcp.consile.ai/meta-ads-2/mcp. Copy it from the card, and add it as a separate connector in your AI.
The agreements show as Agreement 1, Agreement 2 and so on. If an agreement is locked, Locked to <ad account> appears under the name. If you connect the same Meta user on two agreements without locking them, it does not give access to more, but you pay for two agreements. Under the Consile Studio membership there is no button to add an agreement. Instead the card says The membership covers this system. One more company costs full price under the membership, and we will set it up for you if you write to us. See Pricing.

​
Revoke access

You can remove the access again at any time:
  • In the portal: an administrator clicks the menu (the three dots) next to the agreement on the Connections card, chooses Disconnect and confirms with Disconnect. The stored token is then deleted at Consile, and any lock disappears. The subscription continues, and the access at Meta is not revoked automatically. If you have several agreements, an administrator can also remove an agreement entirely with Remove the agreement. Its token is then deleted too. See Remove an agreement.
  • At Meta: remove Consile under Business integrations in your Facebook settings. After that, the connector stops working, and you must reconnect to use it.
