Meta Ads - Triggers & Actions

Last updated: April 30, 2026

When you run Partnership Ads with creators, Meta requires each creator to grant your brand the right permissions inside Meta Business Suite before you can boost or repurpose their content. Automations make that permissioning step one less thing to chase manually.

Action: Send Partnership Ads Permissioning Link

This action sends the creator a link that walks them through granting your brand the correct Partnership Ads permissions on Meta.

What happens when it runs:

  • The creator receives the permissioning link via the delivery channel you configured (email or DM).

  • They follow the link into Meta Business Suite and approve the permission request.

  • Once permissioning is complete, their Partnership Ads status updates to Permissioned, which you can use as a condition in other automations.

When to use it:

  • After a creator is added to a SuperBrief and needs Partnership Ads permissions to run ads against their handle

  • As part of a re-engagement flow for creators whose permission has lapsed

  • Bundled with the creator's welcome sequence so permissioning happens early in the relationship

Where this action fits. You'll typically pair it with a SuperBrief trigger (like Creator Added) or a Discovery trigger (like AI List Creator Status Changed). Sending the permissioning link as the first action onboarding a creator ensures everything is in place before you ask them to create content.

Filter: Meta Ads Partnership status

You can also use Partnership Ads status as a filter on other triggers. This is useful when you want an automation to run only for creators who are, or aren't, already permissioned.

Example flows:

  • "Send permissioning link" — but only if Partnership Ads status is not yet permissioned

  • "Kick off the ad launch checklist" — but only if Partnership Ads status is permissioned

This prevents sending permissioning reminders to creators who've already completed the step, and gates ads-dependent actions on the right state.

Why Partnership Ads is handled separately

If you've used the Task Status Changed trigger under 📄 SuperBrief - Triggers & Actions, you may have noticed that Partnership Ads is not available as a task type in that selector. That's intentional.

Partnership Ads has its own standalone workflow, the permissioning handshake with Meta is a platform-level action, not a brief task. It gets its own dedicated action (above) and filter, rather than living inside the SuperBrief task machinery. This keeps the Partnership Ads flow clean and lets it work across contexts (SuperBriefs, direct creator onboarding, Discovery pipelines, and so on).
