For you

What the answer looks like, and what to type to get it.

Campaign groups, campaigns, ad creatives, image/video libraries and native reporting.

Connect it

Open the dashboard and choose this platform.
Approve the consent screen. The gateway stores an encrypted refresh token, never a password.
Tick the accounts to expose. Nothing is readable until you do.
Paste the endpoint into your assistant, or use the shared one for every platform at once.

What it can change

Create draft campaign groups, campaigns and text, image or video ads. Edit budgets, bids, targeting, schedules and ad content; pause or archive entities and manage media libraries. Every write previews before confirmation and requires a paid plan.

A write without confirm: true returns a preview and applies nothing. That is not an error.
A call to this platform on another platform's dedicated endpoint. The refusal names the URL that serves it.
