Yes.
You can advertise on social media **within the available platforms**, if the channel is supported by the selected campaign template.

### How social media advertising works
To advertise on social media, you must:
1. Select a campaign template that **supports social media channels**
2. Connect your Facebook and/or Instagram account via
**Account Settings → Integrations**
→ this gives the platform permission to post on your behalf

4. Complete campaign booking
After this, ads can be published automatically.
