Overview
The node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage various advertising resources, including Pixels. Specifically, for the Pixels resource and the Create Pixel Event operation, this node allows users to send event data to a specified Snapchat Pixel associated with an ad account. This is useful for tracking user interactions or conversions on websites or apps by sending custom pixel events back to Snapchat.
Typical use cases include:
- Reporting custom conversion events (e.g., purchases, signups) to Snapchat for better ad targeting and measurement.
- Sending real-time event data from your application or website to Snapchat's advertising platform.
- Enhancing retargeting campaigns by feeding detailed event information into Snapchat Pixels.
Example: After a user completes a purchase on your e-commerce site, you can trigger this node to send a "Purchase" event with relevant details (like order value, product IDs) to your Snapchat Pixel to track the conversion.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ad Account ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account under which the pixel event will be sent. Required. |
| Pixel ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Pixel that will receive the event data. |
| Event Data | JSON object containing the Snapchat Pixel event details to send. This should follow Snapchat's expected event schema. |
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects corresponding to each input item processed. Each output JSON contains the response from the Snapchat API after creating the pixel event. The structure depends on Snapchat's API response but generally includes confirmation of the event creation or error details if the request failed.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires valid credentials for the Snapchat Ads API, including an API key credential managed via n8n.
- Requires access to the "N8N Tools API" service for subscription and API key validation before making Snapchat API calls.
- The node uses the base URL
https://adsapi.snapchat.comfor Snapchat API requests. - Proper configuration of these credentials and API keys in n8n is necessary for successful execution.
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 correctly configured and active.
- Malformed Event Data: Ensure the JSON provided in the Event Data property conforms to Snapchat's expected event format. Invalid JSON or missing required fields may cause API errors.
- Pixel or Ad Account Not Found: Confirm that the Pixel ID and Ad Account ID are correct and exist in your Snapchat Ads account.
- Network or Permission Issues: Check network connectivity and that the API key has sufficient permissions to create pixel events.
- Continue On Fail Behavior: If enabled, the node will continue processing subsequent items even if one fails, returning error details in the output JSON for failed items.
