N8N Tools Snapchat

Interact with Snapchat API

Actions42

Overview

The node "N8N Tools Snapchat" enables interaction with the Snapchat Ads API, allowing users to manage various Snapchat advertising resources such as ads, campaigns, creatives, audiences, pixels, webhooks, and reports. Specifically for the Ads resource and the Update Ad operation, this node updates an existing Snapchat ad by sending new ad data to the Snapchat API.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where automated workflows need to modify ad details programmatically without manual intervention in the Snapchat Ads Manager. For example, marketers can update ad creative elements or targeting parameters dynamically based on external triggers or data changes.

Practical example:

  • Automatically update an ad’s budget or creative assets when a marketing campaign schedule changes.
  • Modify ad metadata or status based on performance metrics fetched from other systems.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ad Account ID The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account under which the ad exists.
Ad ID The unique identifier of the specific Snapchat Ad to update.
Ad Data JSON object containing the updated ad information to be sent to Snapchat API.

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the response from the Snapchat API after attempting to update the ad. This typically includes the updated ad details or confirmation of the update operation.

If the operation fails and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error message describing the failure.

No binary data output is produced by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for the "N8N Tools API" service, including an API key and base URL.
  • Requires OAuth2 credentials for authenticating with the Snapchat API.
  • The node performs a validation request against the N8N Tools API before executing the Snapchat API call.
  • The node depends on the bundled snapchat-api module that implements the actual API calls.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid subscription or API key error: If the node throws an error about invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential for the N8N Tools API is correct and active.
  • Unknown operation error: Ensure the operation parameter is set correctly to "updateAd" for updating ads.
  • JSON parsing errors: The "Ad Data" property must be valid JSON. Invalid JSON will cause parsing failures.
  • Missing required fields: Both "Ad Account ID" and "Ad ID" are required. Omitting these will cause errors.
  • API rate limits or network issues: These may cause request failures; check network connectivity and API usage quotas.
