Connecting your Ad Account to Vista Social (for Boosting & Paid Performance Reporting)

Vie

Connecting an ad account to Vista Social allows you to boost posts and run paid analytics for your social profiles. Ad accounts are automatically connected when you connect your social profiles.

 

Supported networks

Vista Social supports ad account connections for the following networks:

  • Facebook

  • Instagram

  • LinkedIn

  • Pinterest

  • TikTok

  • X (Twitter)

     

 

Important

Make sure the account you used to connect your social profile already has an active ad account on the network you’re using. Vista Social can only detect ad accounts that already exist and that you have full permission to access.

 

Creating an ad account on each supported network

If you don’t already have an ad account, you’ll need to create one directly on the network before connecting it to Vista Social.

How ad accounts are connected

Ad accounts are automatically detected when you connect a social profile, as long as:

  • The connecting user has full access to an ad account on that network

  • The ad account is active and properly set up

If the ad account was created after your profile was connected:

  1. You’ll need to refresh the connection by going to Settings → Connected Profiles. 

  2. Find the profile you want to update and click the three dots on the right, then select Refresh connection.

  3. This allows Vista Social to recheck available ad accounts linked to that profile.

Confirm your ad account is connected

When an ad account is connected, you’ll see “ad account connected” shown in purple when you hover over the profile.

Select the correct ad account if multiple are available

  1. If your profile has access to more than one ad account, you can choose which one to use.

  2. Go to Settings → Connected profiles and click on the profile.

  3. Scroll to the Ad account section and select the correct ad account. This ensures that boosts and paid analytics are applied to the intended account.

 

Need further help?

If your ad account isn’t showing after refreshing the connection, confirm you’re logged in with the correct user and have ad account access on the network. If you have any questions or need additional help, feel free to contact our awesome support team. We are here to assist you! 💙
