# Review your first Meta account

> Connect Meta and finish a first review with the right account and reporting context.

Your first useful result is a review you can trace back to a specific ad account and period. You can inspect it before deciding whether to change anything.

## Before you begin

Use the Facebook profile that has access to the business and ad account you want to review. You also need an AutoAdy workspace. New eligible workspaces start through a card-required trial: [review the charge and renewal terms](/billing/trial) before checkout.

## Connect and review

1. Sign in to [AutoAdy](https://www.autoady.io/sign-in). Complete the setup questions and checkout if prompted.
2. In onboarding, select **Connect with Facebook**. In Meta's permission screen, select the correct business and ad account, then authorize the requested access.
3. Back in AutoAdy, select the account or accounts to analyze and choose **Continue**. Available capacity is shown by the product.
4. If asked for a target, enter a result target you actually use. You can skip it if you do not know it yet; avoid inventing one just to complete setup.
5. Open **Meta Ads → Overview**. Confirm the account name, reporting period, currency, and **Reporting details**. Choose a useful period such as **7 days** or **30 days**.
6. Open **Campaigns**, **Ad sets**, or **Ads** to inspect the entities behind the totals. Open **Intelligence** to review findings and supporting evidence.

## Confirm it worked

The expected account appears in the sidebar selector. Your report shows a period and when data was last fetched, and its rows belong to that account. Zero spend can be a valid result for a quiet period; it is different from a connection error.

Your first review does not apply changes to your ads. When you are ready to act, use [Review delivery changes](/meta-ads/delivery) or [Change a budget](/meta-ads/budgets).

## If setup stops

* **No account appears:** check the Facebook profile and business permissions, then [reconnect Meta](/connections/meta). Team members also need an account grant from their workspace owner.
* **Connection was not completed:** your onboarding answers are preserved. Try connecting again and review the selected permissions.
* **Report looks empty or old:** inspect the period and source time, then [check freshness](/intelligence/freshness).
* **You skipped connection:** the example review can help you learn the flow, but it does not prove that your own account is connected.
