We support many different channels; for demo purposes, we will add Meta, as it is our most popular channel. ### Video guide {% embed url="" %} Adding a channel is really simple. You will need to select the channel in the Channels section. In our case, we will select Meta.

When filling out the channel form, please provide a name for the channel. We recommend choosing a name that clearly describes your connection. This will be useful in the future, especially if you have multiple connections for the same channel.

We also offer the option to restrict the channel to a specific geographic location (this is optional). This allows you to create region-specific pixels with a straightforward configuration. If you have customers from both the US and the EU, you can separate them by creating two different pixels and targeting them accordingly. Once you have entered the name, click on "Authenticate." This will redirect you to the Facebook authorization flow, where you will need to confirm your identity and grant the necessary permissions for our system to function correctly.

After completing the Facebook process, you will be redirected back to our app to complete the channel setup. Now we need to add the Dataset ID and advertiser ID. You can find detailed documentation in our [Meta onboarding link](/channels/meta/onboarding.md).

After providing both IDs, click Update to successfully add your first channel. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.edgetag.io/installation/shopify/adding-a-channel.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
