⚡ Advanced Features Supported

Dynamic Creative (Advantage+)

Test multiple creative variations automatically:

row["Dynamic Creative"] = "TRUE"
row["Additional Body 1"] = "Variation 1 text"
row["Additional Body 2"] = "Variation 2 text"
row["Additional Title 1"] = "Variation 1 headline"
# etc.

Carousel Ads

Multi-card product showcases:

row["Carousel Card 1 Title"] = "Product 1"
row["Carousel Card 1 Body"] = "Description"
row["Carousel Card 1 Link"] = "https://..."
row["Carousel Card 1 Image"] = "product1.jpg"
# Repeat for cards 2-10

Multi-Language (DLO)

Serve different languages automatically:

row["Language 1 Code"] = "en"
row["Language 1 Body"] = "English text"
row["Language 2 Code"] = "es"
row["Language 2 Body"] = "Texto en español"
# etc.

Partnership/Influencer Ads

Use creator content at scale:

row["Partnership Ad Code"] = "ABC123XYZ789"
row["Creator Account ID"] = "1234567890"

🎯 Common Use Cases

1. Creative Testing

Duplicate row, change:

• Ad Name
• Body/Title text
• Image File
• UTM Content (for tracking)

2. Audience Testing

Duplicate row, change:

• Ad Set Name
• Targeting Age Min/Max
• Targeting Interests
• Targeting Locations

3. Budget Testing

Duplicate row, change:

• Ad Set Name
• Daily Budget
• Bid Amount (if using manual bidding)

4. Multi-Product Launch

One campaign, multiple ad sets per product:

• Keep Campaign Name same
• Change Ad Set Name per product
• Update all ad copy & creatives per product

✅ Validation Rules (Critical!)

The generator handles these automatically, but if editing CSVs manually:

1. Dates: YYYY-MM-DD format only
2. Budgets: Numbers only, no $ symbol, minimum $1/day
3. Status: ACTIVE or PAUSED (case-sensitive)
4. Ages: 13-65 or "65+"
5. Creative: Use EITHER Hash/ID OR File, never both
6. File names: No spaces, use underscores
7. URLs: Must include https://

See complete validation rules in FB_ADS_FIELD_REFERENCE.md

💡 Pro Tips

1. Name files systematically:

   ProductName_Placement_Version.jpg
   OpenClaw_Feed_v1.jpg
   OpenClaw_Story_v1.jpg
   

2. Use UTM Content to track variations:

   utm_content=audience_tech_creative_v1
   utm_content=audience_business_creative_v2
   

3. Start with automatic placements:

   • Let Meta optimize initially
   • Analyze placement performance
   • Switch to manual if needed

4. Test 3-5 ads per ad set minimum:

   • More creative variations = better performance
   • Meta's algorithm needs options to optimize

5. Give it 3-5 days before judging:

   • Learning phase takes time
   • Don't kill ads too early

🔧 Troubleshooting

"Import failed" error

• Check all required fields are filled
• Verify date format (YYYY-MM-DD)
• Ensure status values are ACTIVE or PAUSED (exact capitalization)
• Remove $ symbols from budget fields

"Creative not found" error

• Make sure file name in CSV exactly matches uploaded file
• No spaces in file names (use underscores)
• Upload files when prompted during import

"Invalid targeting" error

• Check age min/max are valid (13-65+)
• Verify location names are correct
• Interests must be from Meta's interest library

"Budget too low" error

• Minimum $1/day per ad set
• Some objectives require higher minimums ($5-10/day)
