N8N Tools Snapchat

Overview

The node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage various advertising resources, including Creatives. Specifically, for the Create Creative operation under the Creatives resource, it allows users to create new creative assets within a specified Snapchat Ad Account. This is useful for marketers and advertisers who want to automate the creation of ad creatives directly from their n8n workflows.

Typical use cases include:

• Automating the upload and creation of new ad creatives as part of a campaign launch.
• Integrating creative asset management into larger marketing automation pipelines.
• Dynamically generating creatives based on external data or triggers.

For example, a user could trigger this node after generating creative metadata in another system, passing that data to create a new Snapchat creative automatically.

Properties

Output

The node outputs a JSON object representing the response from the Snapchat API after creating the creative. This typically includes details such as the newly created creative's ID, status, and any other metadata returned by the API.

If an error occurs during the creation process and "Continue On Fail" is enabled, the output will contain an error field with the error message.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires valid credentials for the Snapchat Ads API, provided via an OAuth2 or API key credential configured in n8n.
• Also requires a subscription and valid API key for the "N8N Tools API," which performs a validation check before executing the Snapchat API calls.
• The node uses the base URL https://adsapi.snapchat.com for Snapchat API requests.
• The workflow must have access to these credentials and permissions to perform creative creation operations.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the N8N Tools API validation fails with a 401 or 403 status code, the node throws an error indicating invalid subscription or API key. Ensure your API key and subscription are active and correctly configured.
• Malformed Creative Data: Since the creative data is passed as JSON, ensure it is well-formed and complies with Snapchat's API requirements. Invalid JSON or missing required fields will cause the API call to fail.
• Missing Required Parameters: The Ad Account ID and Creative Data are required. Omitting these will result in errors.
• API Rate Limits or Permissions: If the Snapchat API returns errors related to rate limits or insufficient permissions, verify your account's API usage limits and permission scopes.
• Unknown Operation Error: If the operation parameter is incorrect or unsupported, the node will throw an "Unknown operation" error.
