Create Ad

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.
