Add "url_tags" to existing Ad creatives part of Ad-Group

Question

What is the best way to add "url_tags" to Ad creatives that have already been added to an existing Ad-Group, when the Ad is already live?

I understand that an Ad creative cannot be updated once it is live. This answer suggested a solution update creative in existing ad group , but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

Answer 1

You can update an existing adgroup's creative by creating a new adcreative and then update the adgroup with the new adcreative id:

1. Create a new ad creative with your url_tags (in this example, "key=val"):

   curl \ -F "type=27" \ -F "object_id=object_id" \ -F "story_id=story_id" \ -F "url_tags=key=val" \ -F "access_token=_" \ "https://graph.facebook.com/act_12134567/adcreatives"

2. Update your adgroup with the new adcreative id:

   curl \ -F "creative={'creative_id':new_adcreative_id}" \ -F "access_token=_" \ "https://graph.facebook.com/adgroup_id"
