Page Link (User Business Manager)

I. What Does Connecting to Ctrl+Reach Mean?

The connection on Ctrl+Reach corresponds to the sharing of access and permissions between your account (Instagram, Facebook/Meta, TikTok, YouTube) and our platform.

This connection allows us to obtain the necessary rights to:

Access your content (posts, reels)
View your statistics and data (insights, performance, audiences)
Launch and manage advertising campaigns

Why is this connection essential?

Without these permissions, it is technically impossible to:

Create a campaign and run ads
Track performance

In summary: without a valid connection, no ads can be launched (except for YouTube).

Are you staying in control?

Yes, at any time.
The entity that shares its access retains full ownership and control.
It can revoke permissions at any time directly from its Business Manager.
Ctrl+Reach has access only to the information strictly necessary for managing advertising campaigns.

II. Ctrl+Reach Needs

Meta (Facebook + Instagram)

Before connecting a new Meta profile to Ctrl+Reach, you must have completed the onboarding process with your Account Manager.
This onboarding process consists of two essential steps:

Connecting the app to your Business Manager (or Business Portfolio)
Connecting all your Business Manager resources to Ctrl+Reach (Facebook Pages, Instagram accounts, ad accounts, pixels, audiences, etc.).

Once these two steps are complete, you’ll be able to connect new Meta profiles to the app.

To allow your Account Manager to complete these steps, you’ll first need to add the following users as Administrators (Full Control) in your Business Manager: matheo@y2m.io, lotfi@y2m.io, and simon@y2m.io. Follow the tutorial here: https://doc.clickup.com/5748610/p/h/5fdw2-85872/2fa5be153720875

⚠️ If this condition is not met, the connection to Ctrl+Reach will not work.

Youtube

To run campaigns on Ctrl+Reach with YouTube, you don't need to link the artist's channel.
However, if you want to track the channel's data from our app and use the YouTube fan base audiences, you'll need to link YouTube Studio to your Google Ads account and, consequently, to your Ctrl+Reach profile.

TikTok

As with Meta, before connecting a new TikTok profile to Ctrl+Reach, you must have completed the onboarding process with your Account Manager.
This onboarding process consists of two essential steps:

Connecting the app to your TikTok Business Center.
Connecting all your TikTok Business Manager resources to the Ctrl+Reach app (TikTok account, ad account, etc.).

Here are the steps in the process that you should have completed with your Account Manager:

Add us to TikTok Business Center in two steps:

Accept the invitation using the login link sent by your Account Manager.

Next, go to your TikTok For Business:

If you have multiple Business Centers and the following page appears, select the one you want to use by pressing Ctrl+Reach to access that Business Center. Otherwise, skip ahead to the next step.

Go to the Users tab
Click on “Add member”

On the add page:

Between the email address we provided you: tiktok@y2m.io
Assign us the “Admin” role,
Then click “Next.”

On our end, we will immediately receive access and be able to finalize the connection.

Once you've completed these steps, you'll be able to connect new TikTok profiles to the app.

A guide is available to help you through this step. You can refer to this tutorial to set up the connection in your TikTok Business Center.

III. Link Your Pages

We recommend that you start by connecting to Meta.
By connecting your Meta resources first, your user profile will be created automatically in Ctrl+Reach. This means you won't need to create it manually before proceeding with the connection.

Meta (Facebook + Instagram)

Ask the owner of the Meta accounts to go to Meta Business Suite using the following link: https://business.facebook.com/latest/settings/partners
He will need to click on “Add”, then select “Give a partner access to your assets”.

Enter the Business ID of the company requesting the connection, then click Next.

If the Facebook and Instagram pages are properly linked, the owner should see the following:
In the “Facebook Pages” section, select the relevant page and enable the following permissions: Content, Ads, Insights.
Finish by clicking “Assign assets”.

Access has indeed been shared with the user Ctrl+Reach.

Step 2: Add the artist on Ctrl+Reach - Ctrl+Reach user side

Once the owner has completed all the steps above, the connection is not fully finalized yet.

From your Business Manager (the company’s BM):

Go to Settings
Under the “Accounts” section, click “Pages”
Find the artist’s page that just shared access and click on it
Click “Assign people”

Add CtrlReach (User System)
Grant them the following permissions: Content, Ads, Insights
Click “Assign”

Wait 10 to 15 minutes, and the profile will be created on Ctrl+Reach, and the connection will be established.

TIP: You can also follow our step-by-step tutorial, which presents several connection methods depending on your situation.

Youtube

To run campaigns on Ctrl+Reach using YouTube, you don't need to link the artist's channel. However, if you want to track the channel's data from our app and use the YouTube fan base audiences, you'll need to link YouTube Studio to your Google Ads account and, consequently, to your Ctrl+Reach profile.

You can be:

the owner of the YouTube channel, or
an or simply administrator / manager / editor

👉 The steps depend on your level of access.

⚠️ Before you start

When starting the connection, you’ll need to choose one of the following options:

Case 1: “I am the owner”
Case 2: “I am not the owner”

CASE 1 — You are the owner of the YouTube channel

Choose this option if you created the YouTube channel and are the main owner / administrator.

On Ctrl+Reach, go to “Manage artists”
Click “Edit profile” under the relevant artist profile

Click “Link YouTube”

Select “I am the owner”
Paste your YouTube channel link
Click “Open your invitation”

You’ll be redirected to YouTube Studio
An association invitation will appear

Name the association “Ctrl+Reach” or “AdsLink”

Click “Associate”
Go back to Ctrl+Reach
Confirm the connection

Your YouTube channel is now connected to Ctrl+Reach

CASE 2 — You are NOT the owner of the YouTube channel

Choose this option if you are an admin or collaborator, but not the channel owner.

On Ctrl+Reach, go to “Manage artists”
Click “Edit” under the relevant profile
Click “Link YouTube”
Select “I am not the owner”
Send the owner of the channel the link to this article so that they can carry out the steps below.

The owner must complete the following steps:

Retrieve the code from the YouTube channel

The link of the channel contains an ending of the form /UC + by a sequence of characters
Example : https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbJoZeFWoyT-CfOmHzDBlNA Here, copy only the sequence of characters at the end of the URL (the one after /UC) - bJoZeFWoyT-CfOmHzDBlNA

Generate the AdsLink link

Paste this string at the end of the AdsLink: https://www.youtube.com/adwords?link_customer=259-028-1701&channel=, after the =

Example :

https://www.youtube.com/adwords?link_customer=259-028-1701&channel= bJoZeFWoyT-CfOmHzDBlNA
Next, send this link to the channel owner so they can open it in their browser (they must be logged into their YouTube channel)
