Overview
This node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage advertising resources programmatically within n8n workflows. Specifically, for the Create Ad operation under the Ads resource, it allows users to create new ads in a specified Snapchat Ad Account by providing the ad details in JSON format.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include automating ad creation as part of marketing campaigns, dynamically generating ads based on external data sources, or integrating Snapchat ad management into broader automated workflows.
For example, a marketing team could use this node to automatically create multiple ads from a product catalog stored in a database, streamlining campaign launches without manual intervention.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ad Account ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account where the ad will be created. |
| Ad Data | A JSON object containing the detailed configuration and content of the ad to be created. |
The Ad Data property expects a valid JSON string representing the ad's parameters according to Snapchat's API specification (e.g., name, creative details, targeting, budget).
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects, each representing the response from the Snapchat API for the created ad. The structure typically includes fields such as the newly created ad's ID, status, and any metadata returned by the API.
If an error occurs during the creation process and the workflow is set to continue on failure, the output will contain an error field describing the issue for that particular item.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires a valid API key credential for the "N8N Tools API" service to validate subscription and access rights.
- Requires OAuth2 credentials configured for Snapchat API access.
- The node communicates with the Snapchat Ads API endpoint at
https://adsapi.snapchat.com. - Proper permissions and valid Snapchat Ad Account IDs are necessary to perform ad creation.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and active.
- Malformed Ad Data JSON: Errors may occur if the
Ad DataJSON is not well-formed or does not comply with Snapchat's API schema. Validate the JSON syntax and required fields before execution. - Permission Denied or Unauthorized: Ensure that the OAuth2 credentials have sufficient permissions to create ads in the specified Ad Account.
- Unknown Operation Error: This should not occur if the operation is correctly set to "Create Ad". If encountered, check the node configuration for typos or unsupported operations.
- API Rate Limits or Network Issues: Temporary failures might happen due to rate limiting or connectivity problems. Implement retry logic or check network stability.
