1. Click Destinations in the left rail.

2. Click New Destination on the top right corner, then search for and Add Meta / Facebook Ads.

3. Log into Facebook with the business account associated with Facebook Ads Manager

4. After providing permissions for GrowthLoop to access your Facebook Ads account, you will be returned to the screen below.
   1. Destination Name: This how the destination will be named and referred to in the app going forward.
