# Replace a campaign's ad schedule (dayparting) API Reference

Replaces the days and hours a Google campaign runs, or clears them so it serves around the clock.

This is a REPLACE, not a merge: windows you leave out stop serving. Send `schedule: []` to clear dayparting, which returns the campaign to serving around the clock.

### Rules

Google rules are enforced here, so you get a named field instead of a criterion error:

- at most 6 windows per day
- a window must end after it starts
- windows on the same day may not overlap
- `endHour` 24 is midnight and cannot carry minutes
- minutes are quarter-hours only (0, 15, 30, 45)
- `bidModifier` is 0.1-10.0. Google's 0 means "off" for devices only, so a window is switched off by leaving it out.

Windows are half-open (Google is exclusive of the end minute), so 09:00-12:00 and 12:00-17:00 on the same day are adjacent and both valid.

### How it is applied

Google cannot edit an ad schedule in place (every AdScheduleInfo field is prohibited on update). So this removes the live criteria and creates the new ones in a single atomic mutate.

The response is read back from Google and carries the new criterion ids.


## GET /v1/ads/campaigns/{campaignId}/ad-schedule

**Read a campaign's ad schedule (dayparting)**

Shows the days and hours a Google campaign runs and its bid adjustments, optionally with performance by day and hour.

The windows a Google campaign serves in, with the bid modifier on each, plus the
criterion ids Google minted for them.

An EMPTY `schedule` is meaningful and is not a failed lookup: Google has no
"all day" criterion, so a campaign with no ad schedule serves around the clock.
`servesAroundTheClock` states that explicitly.

Set `includePerformance=true` to also get delivery split by day of week and by hour,
which is the evidence for deciding what the schedule should be. It is one extra
Google call segmented by both dimensions at once, so the two views always agree.

Google Ads only. The response carries `cachedAt` and `stale`, set when a
quota-exhausted call falls back to the last-good copy instead of a live read.


### Parameters

- **campaignId** (required) in path: Numeric Google platform campaign id.
- **platform** (optional) in query: Disambiguates the campaign id when the connection spans platforms.
- **includePerformance** (optional) in query: Also return delivery by day of week and by hour. Costs one extra Google call.
- **windowDays** (optional) in query: Trailing window for the performance split. Ignored when fromDate and toDate are both given.
- **fromDate** (optional) in query: Start of an explicit performance range (YYYY-MM-DD). Use together with toDate.
- **toDate** (optional) in query: End of an explicit performance range (YYYY-MM-DD). Must be on or after fromDate.

### Responses

#### 200: The campaign's ad schedule

**Response Body:**

- **campaignId** `string`: No description
- **schedule** `array[AdScheduleWindow]`: 
- **servesAroundTheClock** `boolean`: True when the campaign carries no ad schedule at all, so it can serve at any time.
- **cachedAt** `string,null` (date-time): No description
- **stale** `boolean`: True when a quota-exhausted read served the last-good copy.
- **performance** `object`: Only present when includePerformance=true.
  - **windowDays** `integer,null`: The trailing window used, or null when an explicit fromDate/toDate range was given.
  - **byDayOfWeek** `array[object]`: One entry per day that delivered, Monday first.
    - **dayOfWeek** `string`: No description - one of: MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY
    - **impressions** `integer`: No description
    - **clicks** `integer`: No description
    - **cost** `number`: Account currency, not USD-normalized.
    - **conversions** `number`: No description
  - **byHour** `array[object]`: One entry per hour that delivered, 0-23 in the account time zone.
    - **hour** `integer`: No description
    - **impressions** `integer`: No description
    - **clicks** `integer`: No description
    - **cost** `number`: Account currency, not USD-normalized.
    - **conversions** `number`: No description

#### 400: Invalid request

**Response Body:**

- **error** `string`: Human-readable error message.
- **type** `string`: Error class for programmatic handling. - one of: invalid_request_error, authentication_error, permission_error, not_found, rate_limit_error, platform_error, api_error
- **code** `string`: Stable machine-readable error code.
- **param** `string`: The request field that caused the error, when applicable.
- **docUrl** `string`: Documentation page for resolving the error, when one applies.
- **platform** `string`: Upstream platform (e.g. meta, google, tiktok), present when type is platform_error.
- **platformError** `object`: Raw error payload from the upstream platform, passed through verbatim so
integrators can read provider-specific codes. For Meta this includes
error_subcode, error_user_title, and error_user_msg.

- **details** `object`: Additional structured context for the error (for example field-level validation errors). What it carries depends on the endpoint and platform.

**Meta ads refusals.** The ones customers hit most come back with their own `code` instead of `platform_api_error`, the field to fix in `param`, and `details.fix` ({ label, url }) pointing at the Meta page that resolves it:

- `ad_account_payment_required`
- `ad_account_policy_not_accepted`
- `meta_security_check_required`
- `meta_action_blocked`
- `whatsapp_number_not_linked`
- `invalid_targeting`

Meta's own error stays in the message and in `platformError`.

**Private replies.** `privateReplyConsumed` appears on the private-reply endpoint's 400 when the comment's single reply is already spent. `privateReplyOutcome: "unknown"` appears on its 502 when Meta answered a server error and the reply may have been delivered.

**Google quota 429.** On a Google Ads or YouTube Analytics 429, `quotaExhausted: true` marks the failure as Google's own quota, not a Zernio rate limit, so you can keep calling other platforms instead of backing off everywhere. When Google names the scope, `quotaScope` is also set:

- `DEVELOPER`: the shared budget (the developer token for Google Ads, the Google Cloud project for YouTube Analytics). Every account on Zernio is affected and there is nothing to change on your side.
- `ACCOUNT`: your own ad account (Google Ads only).

A Meta 429 carries neither field.

**Zernio Google Ads burst-limit 429.** Carries `budgetScope` instead, never `quotaExhausted`. These are Zernio's own limits, applied before the call reaches Google, and both clear within a minute. They are separate axes from `quotaScope`, not the same pool named twice.

- `account`: the limit of 15 requests per minute per connected Google Ads account.
- `user`: the ceiling of 120 requests per minute per Zernio user across all their Google Ads accounts.

**Failed Meta ad create** (`POST /v1/ads/create`, `POST /v1/ads/boost`, `POST /v1/ads/ctwa`). Carries `stage` (where it failed), `adAccountId` (on which ad account) and `createdObjects` (every object this request had already created, with what cleanup did to it).

- `left_behind` objects still exist on the ad account (Meta refused the delete, typically on a held account, or the delete hit a network error). Delete them yourself or reuse them.
- `unconfirmedWrite` is set when Meta answered a create with a 5xx or dropped the connection and Zernio could not confirm whether the object exists. Check that parent before creating it again.

**Ineligible ad account: 422 `ad_account_unusable`.** When Meta refuses a write because the ad account's status is ineligible to manage ads (Meta subcode 2490592 or 4841021, on the write itself or on a cleanup delete), any Meta ads write answers it.

That covers create, boost, CTWA, campaign / ad set / ad updates and status changes.

The message names the ad account when known, links Meta's fix (https://www.facebook.com/business/help/422289316306981), lists the objects left behind and ends with Meta's original error, which also stays verbatim in `platformError`.

Meta often reports the first failure under an unrelated code (e.g. 1487194 on the creative), so branch on `code`, not on `platformError`.

**Missing Advertise permission: 403 `insufficient_permissions`.** When the Facebook user behind the connection's token lacks the Advertise permission on the ad account, any Meta ads write answers it.

Triggers: Meta subcode 2490585, 2490591 or 4841020 on the write, or a code 200 refusal such as 1487194 whose cleanup deletes Meta refused with 2490591 or 4841020.

Meta may still accept the campaign and ad set and refuse only the ad. The message names the ad account, asks for the Advertise or Manage permission on it (or a token granted `ads_management`, by reconnecting) and lists the objects left behind.

It ends with Meta's `error_user_title`, `error_user_msg` and subcode; the raw error stays in `platformError`.

  - **stage** `string`: Meta ad create failures only. The step that failed:

- `media`: image/video download or upload.
- `campaign`
- `adset`
- `creative`
- `ad`: the ad POST itself, where Meta's code 31 / 3858385 hold and 100 / 1359188 payment rejections land.
- `activation`: switching the created objects on. No longer returned: a refused switch to ACTIVE now answers 201 with an `activation_failed:` warning and the objects kept PAUSED.
- `other`: a read or check before any write.
 - one of: media, campaign, adset, creative, ad, activation, other
  - **adAccountId** `string`: Meta ad create failures only. The ad account the request wrote to (`act_...`).
  - **createdObjects** `array[object]`: Meta ad create failures only. Every object this request created before failing, in creation order. Objects you referenced (an existing campaign, ad set, creative or video) are never listed and never deleted.
    - **type** `string`: No description - one of: campaign, adset, creative, ad, video, image
    - **id** `string`: Meta object id; for `image` the image hash.
    - **cleanup** `string`: `deleted`: Zernio deleted it. `left_behind`: cleanup could not delete it (Meta refused the delete, or the delete hit a network error), so it still exists. `kept`: deliberately not deleted (image hashes are shared by every upload of the same file). - one of: deleted, left_behind, kept
  - **unconfirmedWrite** `object`: Meta ad create failures only, when Meta answered a create with a 5xx or dropped the connection and the object could not be looked up. Zernio did not retry it.
    - **type** `string`: No description - one of: campaign, adset, creative, ad
    - **parentId** `string`: Where to look for it: the ad set for an ad, the campaign for an ad set, the ad account otherwise.
  - **quotaExhausted** `boolean`: Google Ads and YouTube Analytics 429 only. True when the upstream Google quota is spent rather than a Zernio limit.
  - **quotaScope** `string`: Google Ads and YouTube Analytics 429 only, when the scope is known. DEVELOPER is the shared budget (the developer token for Google Ads, the Google Cloud project for YouTube Analytics); ACCOUNT is your ad account (Google Ads only). - one of: DEVELOPER, ACCOUNT
  - **budgetScope** `string`: Zernio Google Ads burst-limit 429 only (never set alongside `quotaExhausted`). `account` is the limit of 15 requests per minute per connected Google Ads account; `user` is the ceiling of 120 requests per minute per Zernio user across all their Google Ads accounts. Both clear within a minute. - one of: account, user

#### 401: Missing or invalid API key. `code` is `missing_credentials` when no Authorization header was sent and `invalid_credentials` when the key is unknown, revoked or expired.

#### 501: Not a Google Ads campaign: ad schedules are a Google criterion.

---

## PUT /v1/ads/campaigns/{campaignId}/ad-schedule

**Replace a campaign's ad schedule (dayparting)**

Replaces the days and hours a Google campaign runs, or clears them so it serves around the clock.

This is a REPLACE, not a merge: windows you leave out stop serving. Send `schedule: []` to clear dayparting, which returns the campaign to serving around the clock.

### Rules

Google rules are enforced here, so you get a named field instead of a criterion error:

- at most 6 windows per day
- a window must end after it starts
- windows on the same day may not overlap
- `endHour` 24 is midnight and cannot carry minutes
- minutes are quarter-hours only (0, 15, 30, 45)
- `bidModifier` is 0.1-10.0. Google's 0 means "off" for devices only, so a window is switched off by leaving it out.

Windows are half-open (Google is exclusive of the end minute), so 09:00-12:00 and 12:00-17:00 on the same day are adjacent and both valid.

### How it is applied

Google cannot edit an ad schedule in place (every AdScheduleInfo field is prohibited on update). So this removes the live criteria and creates the new ones in a single atomic mutate.

The response is read back from Google and carries the new criterion ids.


### Parameters

- **campaignId** (required) in path: Numeric Google platform campaign id.

### Request Body

- **schedule** (required) `array`: The complete set of windows. Required, so clearing the schedule is always deliberate rather than an omission.

### Responses

#### 200: The schedule as Google stored it

**Response Body:**

- **campaignId** `string`: No description
- **schedule** `array[AdScheduleWindow]`: 
- **servesAroundTheClock** `boolean`: No description

#### 400: Invalid request

**Response Body:**

- **error** `string`: Human-readable error message.
- **type** `string`: Error class for programmatic handling. - one of: invalid_request_error, authentication_error, permission_error, not_found, rate_limit_error, platform_error, api_error
- **code** `string`: Stable machine-readable error code.
- **param** `string`: The request field that caused the error, when applicable.
- **docUrl** `string`: Documentation page for resolving the error, when one applies.
- **platform** `string`: Upstream platform (e.g. meta, google, tiktok), present when type is platform_error.
- **platformError** `object`: Raw error payload from the upstream platform, passed through verbatim so
integrators can read provider-specific codes. For Meta this includes
error_subcode, error_user_title, and error_user_msg.

- **details** `object`: Additional structured context for the error (for example field-level validation errors). What it carries depends on the endpoint and platform.

**Meta ads refusals.** The ones customers hit most come back with their own `code` instead of `platform_api_error`, the field to fix in `param`, and `details.fix` ({ label, url }) pointing at the Meta page that resolves it:

- `ad_account_payment_required`
- `ad_account_policy_not_accepted`
- `meta_security_check_required`
- `meta_action_blocked`
- `whatsapp_number_not_linked`
- `invalid_targeting`

Meta's own error stays in the message and in `platformError`.

**Private replies.** `privateReplyConsumed` appears on the private-reply endpoint's 400 when the comment's single reply is already spent. `privateReplyOutcome: "unknown"` appears on its 502 when Meta answered a server error and the reply may have been delivered.

**Google quota 429.** On a Google Ads or YouTube Analytics 429, `quotaExhausted: true` marks the failure as Google's own quota, not a Zernio rate limit, so you can keep calling other platforms instead of backing off everywhere. When Google names the scope, `quotaScope` is also set:

- `DEVELOPER`: the shared budget (the developer token for Google Ads, the Google Cloud project for YouTube Analytics). Every account on Zernio is affected and there is nothing to change on your side.
- `ACCOUNT`: your own ad account (Google Ads only).

A Meta 429 carries neither field.

**Zernio Google Ads burst-limit 429.** Carries `budgetScope` instead, never `quotaExhausted`. These are Zernio's own limits, applied before the call reaches Google, and both clear within a minute. They are separate axes from `quotaScope`, not the same pool named twice.

- `account`: the limit of 15 requests per minute per connected Google Ads account.
- `user`: the ceiling of 120 requests per minute per Zernio user across all their Google Ads accounts.

**Failed Meta ad create** (`POST /v1/ads/create`, `POST /v1/ads/boost`, `POST /v1/ads/ctwa`). Carries `stage` (where it failed), `adAccountId` (on which ad account) and `createdObjects` (every object this request had already created, with what cleanup did to it).

- `left_behind` objects still exist on the ad account (Meta refused the delete, typically on a held account, or the delete hit a network error). Delete them yourself or reuse them.
- `unconfirmedWrite` is set when Meta answered a create with a 5xx or dropped the connection and Zernio could not confirm whether the object exists. Check that parent before creating it again.

**Ineligible ad account: 422 `ad_account_unusable`.** When Meta refuses a write because the ad account's status is ineligible to manage ads (Meta subcode 2490592 or 4841021, on the write itself or on a cleanup delete), any Meta ads write answers it.

That covers create, boost, CTWA, campaign / ad set / ad updates and status changes.

The message names the ad account when known, links Meta's fix (https://www.facebook.com/business/help/422289316306981), lists the objects left behind and ends with Meta's original error, which also stays verbatim in `platformError`.

Meta often reports the first failure under an unrelated code (e.g. 1487194 on the creative), so branch on `code`, not on `platformError`.

**Missing Advertise permission: 403 `insufficient_permissions`.** When the Facebook user behind the connection's token lacks the Advertise permission on the ad account, any Meta ads write answers it.

Triggers: Meta subcode 2490585, 2490591 or 4841020 on the write, or a code 200 refusal such as 1487194 whose cleanup deletes Meta refused with 2490591 or 4841020.

Meta may still accept the campaign and ad set and refuse only the ad. The message names the ad account, asks for the Advertise or Manage permission on it (or a token granted `ads_management`, by reconnecting) and lists the objects left behind.

It ends with Meta's `error_user_title`, `error_user_msg` and subcode; the raw error stays in `platformError`.

  - **stage** `string`: Meta ad create failures only. The step that failed:

- `media`: image/video download or upload.
- `campaign`
- `adset`
- `creative`
- `ad`: the ad POST itself, where Meta's code 31 / 3858385 hold and 100 / 1359188 payment rejections land.
- `activation`: switching the created objects on. No longer returned: a refused switch to ACTIVE now answers 201 with an `activation_failed:` warning and the objects kept PAUSED.
- `other`: a read or check before any write.
 - one of: media, campaign, adset, creative, ad, activation, other
  - **adAccountId** `string`: Meta ad create failures only. The ad account the request wrote to (`act_...`).
  - **createdObjects** `array[object]`: Meta ad create failures only. Every object this request created before failing, in creation order. Objects you referenced (an existing campaign, ad set, creative or video) are never listed and never deleted.
    - **type** `string`: No description - one of: campaign, adset, creative, ad, video, image
    - **id** `string`: Meta object id; for `image` the image hash.
    - **cleanup** `string`: `deleted`: Zernio deleted it. `left_behind`: cleanup could not delete it (Meta refused the delete, or the delete hit a network error), so it still exists. `kept`: deliberately not deleted (image hashes are shared by every upload of the same file). - one of: deleted, left_behind, kept
  - **unconfirmedWrite** `object`: Meta ad create failures only, when Meta answered a create with a 5xx or dropped the connection and the object could not be looked up. Zernio did not retry it.
    - **type** `string`: No description - one of: campaign, adset, creative, ad
    - **parentId** `string`: Where to look for it: the ad set for an ad, the campaign for an ad set, the ad account otherwise.
  - **quotaExhausted** `boolean`: Google Ads and YouTube Analytics 429 only. True when the upstream Google quota is spent rather than a Zernio limit.
  - **quotaScope** `string`: Google Ads and YouTube Analytics 429 only, when the scope is known. DEVELOPER is the shared budget (the developer token for Google Ads, the Google Cloud project for YouTube Analytics); ACCOUNT is your ad account (Google Ads only). - one of: DEVELOPER, ACCOUNT
  - **budgetScope** `string`: Zernio Google Ads burst-limit 429 only (never set alongside `quotaExhausted`). `account` is the limit of 15 requests per minute per connected Google Ads account; `user` is the ceiling of 120 requests per minute per Zernio user across all their Google Ads accounts. Both clear within a minute. - one of: account, user

#### 401: Missing or invalid API key. `code` is `missing_credentials` when no Authorization header was sent and `invalid_credentials` when the key is unknown, revoked or expired.

**Response Body:**

- **error** `string`: Human-readable error message.
- **type** `string`: Error class for programmatic handling. - one of: invalid_request_error, authentication_error, permission_error, not_found, rate_limit_error, platform_error, api_error
- **code** `string`: Stable machine-readable error code.
- **param** `string`: The request field that caused the error, when applicable.
- **docUrl** `string`: Documentation page for resolving the error, when one applies.

- **platformError** `object`: Raw error payload from the upstream platform, passed through verbatim so
integrators can read provider-specific codes. For Meta this includes
error_subcode, error_user_title, and error_user_msg.

- **details** `object`: Additional structured context for the error (for example field-level validation errors). What it carries depends on the endpoint and platform.

**Meta ads refusals.** The ones customers hit most come back with their own `code` instead of `platform_api_error`, the field to fix in `param`, and `details.fix` ({ label, url }) pointing at the Meta page that resolves it:

#### 403: Ads access required. Legacy plans need the Ads add-on; it is included by default on usage-based plans.

Also returned with code `ad_account_not_selected` when the connection has selected ad accounts and the targeted ad account is not among them. `details` carries `accountId`, `adAccountId` and `selectedAdAccountIds`.

Fix: add the ad account to the selection (GET /v1/connect/{platform}/ads with adAccountIds, which replaces the selection), or use a connection that has it selected.


#### 404: The account or requested resource was not found or is not accessible. An account ID may have been disconnected and removed. Read GET /v1/accounts for current account IDs.

#### 422: The schedule breaks a Google rule: too many windows on a day, an overlap, a window that ends before it starts, minutes on hour 24, or a bid modifier outside 0.1-10.0.

#### 501: Not a Google Ads campaign: ad schedules are a Google criterion.

---


# Related Schema Definitions

## AdScheduleWindow

One ad schedule window as Google stores it. Half-open: it is exclusive of the end minute, so 09:00-12:00 and 12:00-17:00 are adjacent, not overlapping.

### Properties

- **criterionId** `string`: Google campaign criterion id. Changes whenever the window is rewritten, because Google cannot edit a schedule in place.
- **resourceName** `string`: No description
- **dayOfWeek** `string`: No description - one of: MONDAY, TUESDAY, WEDNESDAY, THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY
- **startHour** `integer`: No description (min: 0) (max: 23)
- **startMinute** `integer`: No description - one of: 0, 15, 30, 45
- **endHour** `integer`: 24 means midnight at the end of the day. (min: 0) (max: 24)
- **endMinute** `integer`: No description - one of: 0, 15, 30, 45
- **bidModifier** `number,null`: Bid adjustment for this window, 0.1-10.0. Null when the window runs at the campaign bid.

## ErrorResponse

Canonical error envelope. `error` is the human-readable message; `type`,
`code`, `param`, `platform`, and `platformError` are top-level siblings
for programmatic handling. For upstream platform failures (`type:
platform_error`), `platformError` carries the provider's raw payload
verbatim (for Meta: `error_subcode`, `error_user_title`, `error_user_msg`).


### Properties

- **error** `string`: Human-readable error message.
- **type** `string`: Error class for programmatic handling. - one of: invalid_request_error, authentication_error, permission_error, not_found, rate_limit_error, platform_error, api_error
- **code** `string`: Stable machine-readable error code.
- **param** `string`: The request field that caused the error, when applicable.
- **docUrl** `string`: Documentation page for resolving the error, when one applies.
- **platform** `string`: Upstream platform (e.g. meta, google, tiktok), present when type is platform_error.
- **platformError** `object`: Raw error payload from the upstream platform, passed through verbatim so
integrators can read provider-specific codes. For Meta this includes
error_subcode, error_user_title, and error_user_msg.

- **details** `object`: Additional structured context for the error (for example field-level validation errors). What it carries depends on the endpoint and platform.

**Meta ads refusals.** The ones customers hit most come back with their own `code` instead of `platform_api_error`, the field to fix in `param`, and `details.fix` ({ label, url }) pointing at the Meta page that resolves it:

- `ad_account_payment_required`
- `ad_account_policy_not_accepted`
- `meta_security_check_required`
- `meta_action_blocked`
- `whatsapp_number_not_linked`
- `invalid_targeting`

Meta's own error stays in the message and in `platformError`.

**Private replies.** `privateReplyConsumed` appears on the private-reply endpoint's 400 when the comment's single reply is already spent. `privateReplyOutcome: "unknown"` appears on its 502 when Meta answered a server error and the reply may have been delivered.

**Google quota 429.** On a Google Ads or YouTube Analytics 429, `quotaExhausted: true` marks the failure as Google's own quota, not a Zernio rate limit, so you can keep calling other platforms instead of backing off everywhere. When Google names the scope, `quotaScope` is also set:

- `DEVELOPER`: the shared budget (the developer token for Google Ads, the Google Cloud project for YouTube Analytics). Every account on Zernio is affected and there is nothing to change on your side.
- `ACCOUNT`: your own ad account (Google Ads only).

A Meta 429 carries neither field.

**Zernio Google Ads burst-limit 429.** Carries `budgetScope` instead, never `quotaExhausted`. These are Zernio's own limits, applied before the call reaches Google, and both clear within a minute. They are separate axes from `quotaScope`, not the same pool named twice.

- `account`: the limit of 15 requests per minute per connected Google Ads account.
- `user`: the ceiling of 120 requests per minute per Zernio user across all their Google Ads accounts.

**Failed Meta ad create** (`POST /v1/ads/create`, `POST /v1/ads/boost`, `POST /v1/ads/ctwa`). Carries `stage` (where it failed), `adAccountId` (on which ad account) and `createdObjects` (every object this request had already created, with what cleanup did to it).

- `left_behind` objects still exist on the ad account (Meta refused the delete, typically on a held account, or the delete hit a network error). Delete them yourself or reuse them.
- `unconfirmedWrite` is set when Meta answered a create with a 5xx or dropped the connection and Zernio could not confirm whether the object exists. Check that parent before creating it again.

**Ineligible ad account: 422 `ad_account_unusable`.** When Meta refuses a write because the ad account's status is ineligible to manage ads (Meta subcode 2490592 or 4841021, on the write itself or on a cleanup delete), any Meta ads write answers it.

That covers create, boost, CTWA, campaign / ad set / ad updates and status changes.

The message names the ad account when known, links Meta's fix (https://www.facebook.com/business/help/422289316306981), lists the objects left behind and ends with Meta's original error, which also stays verbatim in `platformError`.

Meta often reports the first failure under an unrelated code (e.g. 1487194 on the creative), so branch on `code`, not on `platformError`.

**Missing Advertise permission: 403 `insufficient_permissions`.** When the Facebook user behind the connection's token lacks the Advertise permission on the ad account, any Meta ads write answers it.

Triggers: Meta subcode 2490585, 2490591 or 4841020 on the write, or a code 200 refusal such as 1487194 whose cleanup deletes Meta refused with 2490591 or 4841020.

Meta may still accept the campaign and ad set and refuse only the ad. The message names the ad account, asks for the Advertise or Manage permission on it (or a token granted `ads_management`, by reconnecting) and lists the objects left behind.

It ends with Meta's `error_user_title`, `error_user_msg` and subcode; the raw error stays in `platformError`.

  - **stage** `string`: Meta ad create failures only. The step that failed:

- `media`: image/video download or upload.
- `campaign`
- `adset`
- `creative`
- `ad`: the ad POST itself, where Meta's code 31 / 3858385 hold and 100 / 1359188 payment rejections land.
- `activation`: switching the created objects on. No longer returned: a refused switch to ACTIVE now answers 201 with an `activation_failed:` warning and the objects kept PAUSED.
- `other`: a read or check before any write.
 - one of: media, campaign, adset, creative, ad, activation, other
  - **adAccountId** `string`: Meta ad create failures only. The ad account the request wrote to (`act_...`).
  - **createdObjects** `array`: Meta ad create failures only. Every object this request created before failing, in creation order. Objects you referenced (an existing campaign, ad set, creative or video) are never listed and never deleted.
  - **unconfirmedWrite** `object`: Meta ad create failures only, when Meta answered a create with a 5xx or dropped the connection and the object could not be looked up. Zernio did not retry it.
  - **quotaExhausted** `boolean`: Google Ads and YouTube Analytics 429 only. True when the upstream Google quota is spent rather than a Zernio limit.
  - **quotaScope** `string`: Google Ads and YouTube Analytics 429 only, when the scope is known. DEVELOPER is the shared budget (the developer token for Google Ads, the Google Cloud project for YouTube Analytics); ACCOUNT is your ad account (Google Ads only). - one of: DEVELOPER, ACCOUNT
  - **budgetScope** `string`: Zernio Google Ads burst-limit 429 only (never set alongside `quotaExhausted`). `account` is the limit of 15 requests per minute per connected Google Ads account; `user` is the ceiling of 120 requests per minute per Zernio user across all their Google Ads accounts. Both clear within a minute. - one of: account, user
