Our system pulls up all the comments (including Ad comments) from the post, whether or not all the Ad accounts are connected to our platform.
If user has not connected their respective Ad account (from where the post has been boosted or ad has been set on it) we classify all the comments as regular FB Comment. Once the user connects their Ad Account, we will classify these comments as Ad Comment.

FAQs
Do I Need To Connect A Separate Instagram Ad Account?
No. Facebook and Instagram use the same Meta ad account. Connect your Meta ad account under Settings > Ad Accounts > Add Ad Account > Meta, and you can boost posts and manage ad comments on both Facebook and Instagram from Statusbrew.
Can I Boost Instagram Posts From Statusbrew?
Yes, but only for Facebook and Instagram. Boosting is not supported for LinkedIn or TikTok from Statusbrew. Connect your Meta ad account and use Compose or Publish to boost posts.
Why Are Ad Comments Showing Up As Regular Facebook Comments?
This happens when the ad account associated with the boosted post is not connected to Statusbrew. Once you connect the correct ad account, Statusbrew reclassifies those comments as Ad comments going forward.
Can I Connect Multiple Ad Accounts?
Yes. You can connect multiple ad accounts across Meta, LinkedIn, and TikTok. Ad accounts do not count against your profile limit.
What Happens To My Campaigns If I Remove An Ad Account From Statusbrew?
Removing an ad account from Statusbrew deletes all its campaign data from Statusbrew only. Your campaigns continue running natively on Facebook, LinkedIn, or TikTok without interruption.
Who Can Connect Or Remove Ad Accounts?
