# Create Ad Creative

> Creates a Meta ad creative from a raw creative payload and returns the new creative_id

Creates a Meta ad creative from a raw creative payload and returns the new creative\_id. Does not attach it to any ad. Used in the edit-ad workflow: meta\_ads\_get\_ad\_creative -> modify payload -> meta\_ads\_create\_ad\_creative -> meta\_ads\_replace\_ad\_creative. Best when the edited payload already references existing media in Meta, such as image\_hash or video\_id. If the edit needs brand new media uploads or a new ad from scratch, use the dedicated create\_\*\_ad operations (e.g. meta\_ads\_create\_single\_image\_ad, meta\_ads\_create\_carousel\_ad) instead.

| `account`          | DynamicAccount   | Yes      | -       | Select the Meta Ads account where the new creative should be created. Used in the edit-ad workflow after meta\_ads\_get\_ad\_creative and before meta\_ads\_replace\_ad\_creative.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          |
| `creative_payload` | object or string | Yes      | -       | Full Meta ad creative payload (object or JSON string). Usually this is the payload returned by meta\_ads\_get\_ad\_creative after you edit it. Workflow: meta\_ads\_get\_ad\_creative -> edit payload -> meta\_ads\_create\_ad\_creative -> meta\_ads\_replace\_ad\_creative. Use this when the edited creative still points to existing media references already available in Meta, such as image\_hash or video\_id. If the edit needs brand new media uploads, use the dedicated create\_**ad operations instead, for example meta\_ads\_create\_single\_image\_ad. Read-only fields (id, status, account\_id, effective**, etc.) are stripped automatically before posting. This creates only the creative, not the ad. |
| `name`             | string           | No       | -       | Optional name override for the new creative. If provided, replaces any name in creative\_payload before the new creative is created for the edit workflow.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
