How to Connect a Microsoft Advertising Credential

Before we start, it's important to understand the difference between a Microsoft Advertising Credential and a Microsoft Advertising Account.

A credential is an email address that may have access to one or more Microsoft Advertising accounts.

To get started, jump over to the Connections tab on the main navigation menu:

From the Connections tab, click on the Microsoft Advertising label on the left-hand side.

If this is the first time you connect a credential, you will see a "Connect" button right in the middle of the screen.

If you've connected a credential before, you'll instead have to click on the "Manage Credentials" button,

and then click on the "Connect" at the top of the pop-up menu.

You'll then be prompted to sign in to your desired account. However, please note that if you're already signed in, Microsoft Ads will not prompt you to choose, it will automatically use the last active signed-in account. 

Once an account is picked, make sure you click on "Yes" to grant AdClicks access to your Microsoft Advertising data. 

That's it! Once you've completed the login flow, AdClicks will begin downloading the list of accounts you have access to, so you can connect them to a client and use them in a report.
