Overview
The node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage various advertising resources. Specifically, for the Update Audience operation under the Audiences resource, it allows users to update an existing Snapchat audience by providing the Ad Account ID, the Audience ID, and the new audience data.
This node is beneficial in marketing automation workflows where advertisers want to programmatically modify their audience definitions on Snapchat without manually using the Snapchat Ads Manager interface. For example, a user can update targeting criteria or audience attributes dynamically based on external data sources or campaign performance metrics.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ad Account ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account under which the audience exists. |
| Audience ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Audience to be updated. |
| Audience Data | JSON object containing the updated data for the Snapchat Audience (e.g., name, rules). |
Output
- The output is a JSON object representing the response from the Snapchat API after updating the audience.
- This typically includes details of the updated audience such as its ID, name, status, and any other metadata returned by the API.
- The node does not output binary data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for the "N8N Tools API" service to validate subscription and access rights before making Snapchat API calls.
- Requires OAuth2 credentials for authenticating with the Snapchat Ads API.
- The node uses the base URL
https://adsapi.snapchat.comfor Snapchat API requests. - The node expects the environment to have proper network access to Snapchat's API endpoints.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the validation request to the N8N Tools API fails with HTTP 401 or 403, the error message will indicate invalid subscription or API key. Users should verify that their API key credential is correct and active.
- Unknown Operation Error: If an unsupported operation is specified, the node throws an error indicating the unknown operation. Ensure the operation parameter is set correctly to "updateAudience" for this use case.
- JSON Parsing Errors: The audience data must be valid JSON. Malformed JSON in the "Audience Data" property will cause parsing errors. Validate JSON syntax before running the node.
- Missing Required Parameters: The Ad Account ID and Audience ID are required. Omitting these will likely cause API errors or failures.
- API Rate Limits or Network Issues: Standard API call failures due to rate limits or connectivity issues may occur. Implement retry logic or check network connectivity if needed.
