Create Ad

Low-level LinkedIn Ads ad creation

Low-level LinkedIn Ads ad creation. Forwards a raw LinkedIn creative body to the creatives endpoint as-is. Use the dedicated create nodes first (linkedin_ads_create_image_ad, create_video_ad, create_document_ad, create_carousel_ad, create_text_ad, create_spotlight_ad, create_ad_from_post); this is the advanced fallback for formats or fields without one, such as event, follower, or jobs ads. Payloads with inlineContent are routed to createInline (dark post + creative in one call). Media URNs must already exist; upload via linkedin_ads_upload_media. In LinkedIn’s API an ad is a creative.

Two shapes are supported: a creative referencing existing content (e.g. {“campaign”: “urn:li:sponsoredCampaign:123”, “intendedStatus”: “DRAFT”, “content”: {“reference”: “urn:li:ugcPost:456”}}), or a creative with “inlineContent”: {“post”: {…}} which creates the dark post and the creative in one call (routed to createInline automatically). Media URNs (urn:li:image/video/document) must already exist; upload them with linkedin_ads_upload_media. Accepts a JSON object or JSON string.
dry_run	boolean	No	False	When true, return the resolved creative body and endpoint without calling LinkedIn.
