Before You Connect Facebook Ads to HubSpot
Check the following requirements to ensure a smooth connection between Facebook Ads and HubSpot:
Required Facebook Permissions
The user who creates the connection must:
- Be an Admin on the Facebook Business Manager account.
- Have full access to the Facebook Ads account that will be connected.
- Be able to grant permissions for ad management, tracking, and reporting.
Without these permissions, HubSpot will not be able to access or manage the Facebook Ads account properly.
Supported Facebook Assets in HubSpot
When you connect Facebook Ads to HubSpot, you can typically work with:
- Facebook Ads accounts associated with your Business Manager.
- Existing active and paused campaigns.
- Future campaigns created in the connected ad account.
Ensure that the ad account is not disabled or in violation of Facebook’s advertising policies before attempting to connect it to HubSpot.
How to Connect Facebook Ads to HubSpot
Use the following steps inside your HubSpot account to connect your Facebook Ads account.
Step 1: Open HubSpot Ads Settings
- Log in to your HubSpot account with an account that has Ads tool permissions.
- In the main navigation bar, go to Marketing > Ads.
- If prompted, review any introductory screens for the HubSpot Ads tool.
Step 2: Start the Facebook Connection in HubSpot
- Inside the Ads dashboard in HubSpot, look for an option such as Connect account or a banner prompting you to connect an ad network.
- Select Facebook as the network you want to connect.
- Click to proceed, which will open a Facebook login or authorization window in a new tab or popup.
Step 3: Authorize HubSpot in Facebook
- Log in to Facebook with the profile that has admin access to the desired ad account.
- Review the list of permissions requested for HubSpot, such as:
- Access to manage your ads and ad account.
- Access to ad performance data.
- Access to connected pages and related assets.
- Ensure that all required permissions are enabled so that HubSpot can fully manage and report on the ad account.
- Click Continue or Allow to complete the authorization.
Step 4: Choose Which Facebook Ads Account to Connect
- After authorization, HubSpot will display a list of available Facebook Ads accounts tied to your profile.
- Select the ad account or accounts you want to connect to HubSpot.
- Confirm the selection and save your settings.
HubSpot will then establish a connection to the selected Facebook Ads account and begin syncing data.
Manage Connected Facebook Ads Accounts in HubSpot
Once your account is connected, you can manage and monitor Facebook Ads directly from HubSpot.
View Facebook Campaigns in HubSpot
To see your campaigns from the connected Facebook account inside HubSpot:
- Navigate again to Marketing > Ads in HubSpot.
- Use filters to view only Facebook campaigns if multiple ad networks are connected.
- Review metrics such as impressions, clicks, contacts, and attributed deals where available.
Configure Tracking and Attribution in HubSpot
Within the Ads settings section of HubSpot, you can usually configure:
- Default tracking templates for Facebook Ads URLs.
- Attribution models used in reporting.
- Contact creation rules for leads generated via Facebook.
Adjust these options to match your internal reporting standards and ensure accurate measurement of performance in HubSpot.
Sync Facebook Audiences with HubSpot Lists
One of the most powerful features of this integration is the ability to use CRM data from HubSpot to inform your Facebook targeting.
Create Audiences from HubSpot Lists
- In HubSpot, open a Contact list you want to use for advertising.
- Ensure the list is set up as an Active list if you want it to update automatically.
- Look for a control to Use list in ads or a similar option in the list settings.
- Select your connected Facebook Ads account as the destination.
- Create or update a Custom Audience in Facebook using that HubSpot list.
As contacts enter or leave the list in HubSpot, your audience in Facebook can update accordingly, giving you dynamic, CRM-driven targeting.
Troubleshoot Facebook–HubSpot Connection Issues
If the Facebook Ads connection to HubSpot is not working as expected, review these common issues.
Verify Permissions in Facebook
First, confirm that the Facebook user who connected the account still has:
- Admin access to the Facebook Business Manager.
- Admin or full access to the specific ad account.
- All required permissions granted to the HubSpot app.
If access has changed, you may need to reauthorize the connection from within HubSpot.
Reconnect Facebook Ads in HubSpot
- In HubSpot, go to your main Settings.
- Find the Marketing or Ads settings section.
- Locate the connected Facebook Ads account.
- If there is an error message, click options such as Reconnect, Fix connection, or Refresh permissions.
- Follow the Facebook login prompts to restore full access for HubSpot.
Check for Disabled or Restricted Ad Accounts
If the ad account has been disabled, restricted, or is under review by Facebook, HubSpot may not be able to retrieve performance data or create new campaigns from that account. Check the account status directly in Facebook Ads Manager.
