Getting StartedLink to this section

  1. Connect Your Ad Platforms

    Sign up at app.flyweel.co using a magic link. On your first visit, you will be prompted to connect your advertising platforms:

    Joining an existing team?

    Did a teammate invite you? Click Accept invitation → in the email instead of signing up here. Your account is created when you accept. You’ll skip the connect step below. You’ll see the ad accounts your team already set up, based on your role. Signed up on your company’s domain without an invite? You’ll land on a waiting page until an admin approves you. See Team Members & Roles for details.

    • Click Connect next to Google Ads or Meta Ads
    • Complete the OAuth authorization flow for each platform
    • Select the ad accounts you want to import

    See Integrations for detailed instructions on connecting each platform.

  2. Complete Your Profile

    After connecting at least one platform, set up your account details:

    • Enter your name and company name
    • Select your currency and timezone
    • Your data begins syncing automatically

What do I need before starting with Flyweel?Link to this section

Can I connect multiple ad accounts from the same platform?Link to this section

Yes, you can connect unlimited ad accounts for each supported platform, including Google Ads Manager (MCC) accounts that automatically include all sub-accounts.

What happens after I connect my first platform?Link to this section

Once you connect a platform, Flyweel begins syncing your campaign data and you’ll be directed to your dashboard.

How quickly does Flyweel sync data from my advertising platforms?Link to this section

After initial connection, data typically syncs within 2-15 minutes depending on account size, with ongoing updates every 4 hours.

What should I do if my platform connection fails during onboarding?Link to this section

Ensure you have admin access to the advertising account, check that popup blockers aren’t interfering with OAuth, and contact team@flyweel.co if issues persist.
