N8N Tools Snapchat

Interact with Snapchat API

Actions42

Overview

The "N8N Tools Snapchat" node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API, enabling users to manage and retrieve data related to Snapchat advertising campaigns directly within n8n workflows. Specifically, the Get Ads operation under the Ads resource allows users to fetch a list of ads associated with a specified Snapchat Ad Account.

This node is beneficial for marketers, advertisers, and analysts who want to automate the retrieval and management of their Snapchat ad data without manually logging into the Snapchat Ads Manager. For example, you can use this node to:

  • Automatically pull all active ads from a Snapchat Ad Account for reporting or analysis.
  • Integrate Snapchat ad data into dashboards or other marketing tools.
  • Trigger workflows based on ad performance or status changes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ad Account ID Snapchat Ad Account ID (required). The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account from which to retrieve ads.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the ads retrieved from the specified Snapchat Ad Account. Each item in the output corresponds to an individual ad object as returned by the Snapchat Ads API. The structure typically includes details such as ad IDs, names, statuses, targeting information, and other metadata relevant to each ad.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for the "N8N Tools API" service, including an API key and API URL, to validate subscription and access rights.
  • Requires OAuth2 credentials for authenticating with the Snapchat Ads API.
  • The node internally uses a helper class to interact with the Snapchat API endpoints.
  • Network connectivity to https://adsapi.snapchat.com and the N8N Tools API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential configured in n8n is correct and active.
  • Unknown Operation Error: This error occurs if an unsupported operation name is used. Ensure the operation parameter is set to "getAds" for this resource.
  • Missing Required Parameters: The "Ad Account ID" must be provided; otherwise, the request will fail.
  • API Rate Limits or Connectivity Issues: Network problems or Snapchat API rate limits may cause failures. Check network connectivity and API usage quotas.
  • JSON Parsing Errors: When providing JSON input for other operations, ensure the JSON is well-formed. (Not applicable for Get Ads but relevant for create/update operations.)
