Who connects Meta

The connection is saved on one project. An agency connects each client from that client's project. A business connecting its own account uses its own project. Both follow the same Connect button.

Agency

Sign in to ARIQ with your agency user. Open the client project, then connect that client's Meta account. The client does not need an ARIQ login. Use the Meta login that can already see that client's data.

Your own business

Sign in to ARIQ, open your project, and connect the Meta account this business already uses. You approve access with that same account.

Connect it inside ARIQ

  1. 1Sign in to ARIQ.
  2. 2Open the project this account belongs to. Switch projects from the left sidebar if you manage more than one client.
  3. 3Open Meta from the workspace tabs, or go straight to the Meta page.
  4. 4Click Connect, then Sign in with Meta. ARIQ sends you to Meta. Sign in with the account that can see this client's data and allow access. You do not paste a password into ARIQ.
  5. 5Stay on that project and sync. The page shows live numbers only after this account is connected. Another client's project stays empty until you connect it there too.
