I’m trying to set up a custom audience sync to Meta and it keeps saying that “Unable to create audience. Check your Facebook Ads permissions and re-authenticate”.
But I have checked and I have full control and authority for the Ad account that I am syncing across to.
I’ve removed the integration and cleared caches but doesn’t work. I’ve got over 100 people in the database.
Any ideas as to what could be happening?

Hi all!
Another possible cause for that message could occur because you have not yet accepted the terms of service in Meta for custom audiences.
Replace the "{id}" placeholder with your Facebook account ID. Once you've accepted the terms, please try connecting the integration again and attempt to create your custom audience once again. You should be able to do so with no errors at that point.
I have the exact same issue. I have full control for every possible asset (ad account, page, etc.) on Meta. I’ve followed Klaviyo guides step-by-step, read through the article here https://help.klaviyo.com/hc/en-us/articles/26909356614299, removed the integration and re-connected about 10 times now, tried with different browsers, cleared cache, but I still keep getting the message “Unable to create audience. Check your Facebook Ads permissions and re-authenticate”.
Unfortunately, Klaviyo troubleshooting guide is not helpful.
I’m getting this issue as well. I’m not able to create new connections even though I have full access to absolutely everything, and Klaviyo continues to tell me to re-check my authentication

Let us know if that worked!

This worked for me as well. It took me to an ancient-looking version of FB Business. The documentation from Klaviyo was not helpful at all. 👎🏼
Also, to reiterate, you must replace the ID at the end of the URL with the FB account ID. Otherwise the link will take you to an error.
Ok, after spending all day with this, I finally got it. Ok First thing is:
Check out this video Below: Although this video is for Lead accounts, it works the same way
So take what this video did and login to your facebook account, then replace the lead account URL with this URL: https://business.facebook.com/ads/manage/customaudiences/tos/. If you don’t have any other custom connected accounts, then this should work just by going here.
But if you have a Facebook Personal Page, connected to a Facebook ads account then you need to do this: https://business.facebook.com/ads/manage/customaudiences/tos/?act={Personal User ID}&business_id={Ads Account ID}
