Bing Ads connection

Prerequisites

Ensure you have a Microsoft Bing Ads account configured with the necessary access scopes for connection:

• msads.manage
• openid
• offline_access

Establishing a connection

Procedure

1. Log in to the Data Integration Console.

2. Click Connection from the left-hand menu.

3. Click + New Connection.

4. Search and select the Bing Ads connection.

5. Click Connect with Microsoft.

   A pop-up for Microsoft connection appears.

6. Log in to your relevant Microsoft account.

7. Click Test Connection to verify your connection is functioning properly.

8. Click Save to save the connection.

Handling pop-up blocking

If nothing occurs after clicking Connect with Microsoft, your browser is blocking the pop-up.

To solve this:

1. Look for a pop-up blocked notification on the right side of the URL bar in your browser.
2. Click the notification.
3. Select the option always allow pop-ups from Data Integration.
4. Click Connect with Microsoft; a pop-up to connect to Microsoft appears.

Error message handling

If you receive an error message stating:

Could not connect to Bing API: Could not generate token. Please check your credentials. Error message: 'error_code: invalid_grant, error_description: AADSTS50079'

This can be due to changes in configuration by your administrator. To address this problem, try reconnecting to your Microsoft account.

Handling multiple connections

• Launch each account in a different browser tab to handle several Microsoft accounts.
• Remember to sign out of any current account in that tab before beginning a new connection.
