Create a Meta Ads connection

Create a Meta Ads connection in Catalog Explorer to store authentication credentials for Lakeflow Connect ingestion. Any user with the USE CONNECTION privilege on the connection can then create Meta Ads ingestion pipelines without needing direct access to the credentials.

Alternatively, admin users can create a connection and a pipeline at the same time in the data ingestion UI. See Create an ingestion pipeline.

For privilege requirements, see Connect to managed ingestion sources.

Prerequisites

Complete the source setup. Use the authentication details you obtain to create the connection.

1. In Catalog Explorer, click Add and select Create a connection.
2. In the Connection type drop-down menu, select Meta Ads.
3. Enter a name for the connection.
4. In the App ID field, enter the App ID from your Meta app.
5. In the App Secret field, enter the App Secret from your Meta app.
6. Click Authenticate and create connection.
7. In the Meta authentication window, sign in with your Meta account and grant the requested permissions.
8. After authentication succeeds, the connection is created.
