  1. Add Fetch Facebook Ad Creative node. Connect result to ad_creative. Take a look at the ad_creative socket. We would need effective_object_story_id to proceed with automation.
  1. Add Patch JSON node. Copy the following JSON into the data socket: 
{
	"object_story_id": "",
	"url_tags": ""
}

This is the schema that we need to create an ad from a post id. Add 2 REPLACE patches with /object_story_id, /url_tags path and {{input.value/effective_story_object_id}}, {{input.value/url_tags}} values respectively.

  1. Add another Patch JSON node. Connect data (Patch JSON 1) to value (Patch JSON 2). Connect ad_id (Select Facebook Ad Id) to data (Patch JSON 2). Add 1 ADD patch with a path /creative and {{input.value}} as a value.
