Overview
This node integrates with the Snapchat Ads API to manage Pixels, which are tracking tools used to measure user interactions on websites or apps. Specifically, the "Create Pixel" operation allows users to create a new Snapchat Pixel under a specified Ad Account.
Common scenarios for this node include:
- Setting up conversion tracking by creating pixels that monitor user actions.
- Automating pixel creation as part of campaign setup workflows.
- Integrating Snapchat pixel management into broader marketing automation pipelines.
For example, a marketing team can use this node to programmatically create pixels for different campaigns without manually configuring them in the Snapchat Ads Manager.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Ad Account ID | The unique identifier of the Snapchat Ad Account where the pixel will be created. |
| Pixel Data | JSON object containing the configuration details of the Snapchat Pixel to be created. |
The Pixel Data property expects a JSON structure defining the pixel's attributes according to Snapchat's API requirements (e.g., name, tags, etc.).
Output
The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the response from the Snapchat API after creating the pixel. Each output item corresponds to one input item processed.
The json field contains the full API response data for the created pixel, including its ID and any metadata returned by Snapchat.
No binary data is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active subscription and valid API key for the external service referred to as "N8N Tools API" for validation purposes.
- Requires OAuth2 credentials configured in n8n to authenticate with the Snapchat Ads API.
- The node uses the base URL
https://adsapi.snapchat.comfor Snapchat API requests.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Subscription or API Key: If the node throws an error about invalid subscription or API key, verify that your API key credential is correct and has the necessary permissions.
- Malformed Pixel Data: Ensure the JSON provided in the
Pixel Dataproperty is correctly formatted and includes all required fields as per Snapchat's API documentation. - API Rate Limits or Permissions: Errors related to authorization or rate limits may occur if the OAuth2 token lacks sufficient scope or if too many requests are made in a short time.
- Unknown Operation Error: This should not occur if the operation is set correctly; double-check that the operation is exactly "createPixel".
