Overview
This node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage various advertising resources, including creatives. Specifically, the "Update Creative" operation allows users to modify an existing creative asset within a specified Snapchat Ad Account. This is useful for advertisers who want to update the details or media of their ad creatives without recreating them from scratch.
Common scenarios include:
- Updating the metadata or configuration of a creative after initial creation.
- Correcting or enhancing creative content based on campaign performance.
- Automating bulk updates of creatives across multiple campaigns.
For example, a marketing team could use this node in an automated workflow to update creative descriptions or links dynamically based on external data sources.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ad Account ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account where the creative resides. |
| Creative ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Creative to be updated. |
| Creative Data | JSON object containing the new data for the creative. This can include any updatable fields supported by Snapchat's API for creatives. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object representing the response from the Snapchat API after updating the creative. This typically includes the updated creative's details such as its ID, status, and any other relevant metadata returned by the API.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires valid credentials for the Snapchat Ads API, including an API key credential and OAuth2 authentication.
- Requires subscription validation via an external "N8N Tools API" service that verifies the API key and subscription status before making Snapchat API calls.
- The node uses the base URL
https://adsapi.snapchat.comfor all Snapchat API requests.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error about invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correct and active.
- Malformed Creative Data: Ensure that the JSON provided in the "Creative Data" property is well-formed and matches the expected schema required by Snapchat's API.
- Missing Required IDs: Both "Ad Account ID" and "Creative ID" are required. Omitting these will cause errors.
- API Rate Limits or Permissions: If the Snapchat API returns permission errors or rate limit issues, check the account permissions and usage limits.
- Network or Connectivity Issues: Errors during the external subscription validation or API calls may indicate network problems; retry or check connectivity.
