Syncing User

It's important to keep in mind that the syncing user is the individual who initially connects the ad account under the "Data Sources" tab in Motion. This user can be an admin or owner within the platform, and should make sure that when linking an ad account to make sure they have full page permissions to ensure seamless data integration and synchronization.

Pro-Tip: Every member added to Motion will need permissions to the ad account they are viewing to see data in reports.

For a breakdown of this setup process, check out this article for Meta, and this article for TikTok.

Guests though will see 14 days worth of data loaded automatically for them, but in order to see longer date ranges and creative insights, they'll need to connect their profile to the integrations tab and ensure they've been given permissions to the ad account.

To connect a profile, head to the bottom left menu > my account > integrations, and connect a Meta and/or TikTok profile.
