How to Connect Your Agency to a New Channel
Connect Meta, Google, TikTok, Snapchat or Pinterest to BuyerBridge once for your whole organization.
Before you can onboard a client to a channel, your agency connects that channel to BuyerBridge once. You sign in with your agency's login on the channel, and BuyerBridge uses that connection user to deploy ads, pull reporting and manage campaigns for every client on that channel.

What the Connection User Does
The connection user is set once per channel for your whole organization. If you connect Snapchat while onboarding your first client, the next client goes straight to Snapchat setup with no sign-in step.
The user you connect needs access to the ad accounts you'll run, so BuyerBridge can deploy and report on them.
Before You Connect
Each channel needs an agency-level business account, and the user you sign in with has to be an admin of it:
- Meta: Business Portfolio. See Meta onboarding
- Google: Google Ads manager account (MCC). See Google onboarding
- TikTok: Business Center. See TikTok onboarding
- Snapchat: Business Manager. See Snapchat onboarding
- Pinterest: Business Manager. See Pinterest onboarding
Connect a Channel During Onboarding
- In Channel Setup, a channel your agency hasn't connected yet shows Authenticate and Setup instead of Setup. Click it.
- Read the Connect your agency box. It lists what the channel will ask you to do.
- Click Continue to the channel. Sign in, pick a user who's an admin of your business account, and approve the requested permissions.
- The channel sends you back to BuyerBridge and onboarding continues.
💡 Note: BuyerBridge never sees your password. You sign in on the channel's own site.
Check or Change a Connection
Go to Organization > Settings > Channel Connection. Each channel shows its status and connection user.
- Change user: swap to a different login on that channel
- Re-connect: shows when BuyerBridge lost the connection, for example after a password change
Only replace a working connection after a password or security change, or once it has expired. For Meta details, see How to Change Your Agency's Meta Connection User.
