Overview
This node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage advertising resources programmatically within n8n workflows. Specifically, for the "Ads" resource and the "Create Ad" operation, it allows users to create new ads under a specified Snapchat Ad Account by providing the necessary ad data in JSON format.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating ad creation as part of marketing campaigns.
- Integrating Snapchat ad management into broader marketing automation workflows.
- Dynamically generating ads based on external data or triggers.
For example, a user could automate creating multiple ads from a spreadsheet of ad creatives or trigger ad creation when a new product is added to an e-commerce platform.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ad Account ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account under which the ad will be created. |
| Ad Data | JSON-formatted data representing the Snapchat ad details and configuration to be created. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing the response from the Snapchat API after attempting to create an ad. The structure of the JSON output corresponds to the Snapchat API's response for ad creation, typically including details such as the newly created ad's ID, status, and other metadata.
If the operation fails for any input item and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output for that item will contain an error message describing the failure.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires valid credentials for two services:
- An API key credential for the "N8N Tools API" service, used for subscription validation.
- OAuth2 credentials for authenticating with the Snapchat Ads API.
- The node makes HTTP requests to the Snapchat Ads API endpoint (
https://adsapi.snapchat.com). - Proper configuration of these credentials in n8n is necessary before using the node.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correct and active.
- Malformed Ad Data: Since the ad data must be provided as valid JSON, ensure the JSON syntax is correct and matches Snapchat's expected schema.
- API Errors: Errors returned from the Snapchat API (e.g., due to invalid parameters or permissions) will be surfaced in the node output. Review the error messages for guidance.
- Credential Issues: Ensure both required credentials are configured and authorized properly; otherwise, authentication errors will occur.
- Continue On Fail Behavior: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details per failed item.
