How to connect your Meta ad account and Spotify

Before you can run ads, Found Sound needs two things: some details about you and your music, and access to your Meta ad account and music profiles. It takes a few minutes.

Found Sound uses your own Meta ad account. Your pixel, audiences and ad history stay yours, and you pay Meta directly.

What you need

  • A Meta business portfolio with your Facebook Page, Instagram account and an ad account in it.
  • Your Spotify artist profile (and YouTube channel or Deezer profile, if you have them).
  1. Step 1

    Add your artist details

    Click your icon in the top right corner and open Settings.

    Fill in your artist name, handle, genre, location, tone of voice and a short bio, then save. The AI Coach uses these to write advice that sounds like you.

  2. Step 2

    Connect Meta

    Open Connectors from the same menu and click Connect Meta.

    If you have more than one business portfolio, choose the one your artist accounts are in. Then select your artist's Facebook Page, Instagram account, dataset (your pixel) and ad account.

    Click Next, then Confirm. Connecting takes a moment. When Meta says it's done, click Finish.

  3. Step 3

    Pick your pixel

    Back in Found Sound, choose the pixel your link taps should be sent to. If you don't have one, Found Sound can create one for you.

    Your Instagram account and Facebook Page connect automatically from the same connection.

  4. Step 4

    Connect Spotify, YouTube and Deezer

    Under Connect a source, search for your artist name and choose This is me.

    If search doesn't find you, paste the link to your artist profile instead and it will find the exact account. YouTube and Deezer work the same way.

Tips

  • Connect the business portfolio that owns your ad account. If you work with a manager, they may need to give you access in Meta first.
  • You can change your pixel or reconnect Meta later from Connectors.

Questions

Does Found Sound take over my ad account?

No. Found Sound creates and manages campaigns on your ad account when you launch them. You can see and stop everything in Meta Ads Manager too, and you can disconnect at any time.

What if I don't have a business portfolio?

You'll need one: Meta only lets apps manage ads through a business portfolio. You can create one free in Meta Business Suite, then add your Page, Instagram and ad account to it.
