Security & compliance

• Secrets live in n8n Credentials or environment variables—never in nodes.
• Follow Meta ad policies (no restricted claims, no before/after, etc.).
• Product facts only; unknown fields remain null/empty arrays.

---

Performance tips

• Start with auto placements; test Feed/Reels later if needed.
• Keep primary text 125–200 chars; headline short (testimonial-style in quotes).
• Use the best product image as reference.
• Scale carefully: tune Batch and Wait for your throughput.

FAQ

Does it publish automatically? No. Ads are created PAUSED for review.

Instagram-only campaigns? Yes. Set placements to IG (or keep auto and let Meta optimize).

Thin product pages? Extractor returns null for missing fields; the brief adapts without inventing data.

Bring my own audiences? Swap the generated audience block for your saved audiences or static lists.

Change image model/size? Yes—edit the OpenAI Images node (model/size). Keep 1:1 for FB/IG.
