Overview
This node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage various advertising resources, including audiences. Specifically, the Create Audience operation allows users to create a new audience within a specified Snapchat Ad Account by providing detailed audience data in JSON format.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating the creation of custom or lookalike audiences for targeted ad campaigns.
- Integrating audience management into marketing workflows without manual intervention.
- Dynamically updating advertising strategies based on external data sources.
For example, a marketer can use this node to programmatically create a new audience segment from customer data stored in a CRM system, enabling precise targeting in Snapchat ad campaigns.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ad Account ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account under which the audience will be created. This is required. |
| Audience Data | A JSON object containing the details and configuration of the audience to be created. This includes all necessary fields as defined by the Snapchat API for audience creation. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON object representing the response from the Snapchat API after creating the audience. This typically includes details such as the newly created audience's ID, name, status, and other metadata returned by Snapchat.
If an error occurs during the operation, the output JSON will contain an error field with the error message, provided the node is configured to continue on failure.
The node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active subscription and valid API key for the "N8N Tools API" service, which acts as a proxy or validation layer before calling the Snapchat API.
- Requires OAuth2 credentials configured in n8n for authenticating with the Snapchat Ads API.
- The node depends on the Snapchat Ads API being accessible and the user having appropriate permissions to create audiences in the specified Ad Account.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key, verify that the API key credential for the external validation service is correct and active.
- Malformed Audience Data: Providing invalid or incomplete JSON in the Audience Data property may cause API errors. Ensure the JSON structure matches Snapchat's expected schema.
- Permission Errors: If the authenticated user lacks permission to create audiences in the specified Ad Account, the API will return an authorization error.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems between n8n and the Snapchat API or the validation service can cause request failures.
- Continue On Fail Behavior: When enabled, the node will output error messages in the JSON output instead of stopping execution, useful for batch processing.
