N8N Tools Snapchat

Overview

This node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage various advertising resources such as ads, campaigns, creatives, audiences, pixels, webhooks, and reports. Specifically, for the Create Creative operation under the Creatives resource, it allows users to create new creative assets within a specified Snapchat Ad Account by providing the necessary creative data in JSON format.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating the creation of ad creatives as part of a larger marketing workflow, dynamically generating creatives based on external data, or integrating Snapchat ad management into broader campaign automation pipelines.

For example, a marketing team could use this node to automatically upload and register new video or image creatives to their Snapchat ad account whenever new content is published, streamlining the ad creation process without manual intervention.

Properties

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the response from the Snapchat API after creating the creative. Each output item corresponds to one input item processed.

• The json field contains the full API response for the created creative, which typically includes the creative's ID, status, and other metadata returned by Snapchat.
• No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires valid credentials for:
  • An API key credential for the "N8N Tools API" service used for subscription and request validation.
  • OAuth2 authentication credentials for accessing the Snapchat Ads API.
• The node expects the Snapchat Ads API base URL and authentication tokens to be configured properly.
• The node uses internal helper classes to interact with the Snapchat API endpoints.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Subscription or API Key Error:
  If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correct and active. Check that the subscription to the N8N Tools API service is valid.

• JSON Parsing Errors:
  The Creative Data property must be valid JSON. Malformed JSON will cause parsing errors. Validate the JSON syntax before running the node.

• API Request Failures:
  Network issues, incorrect Ad Account IDs, or insufficient permissions can cause API call failures. Ensure the Ad Account ID is correct and the OAuth2 credentials have the required scopes.

• Unknown Operation Error:
  This should not occur if the operation is set correctly to "Create Creative". If encountered, confirm the node configuration matches the supported operations.
