Turn a creative into an ad or a scheduled post

Who this is for

Anyone who has generated or uploaded a creative and wants to use it. Both buttons sit on the Library, on the Create tab.

Before you begin

The creative must be saved to your Library. Generated images are saved when you choose to save them to the Library at the end of the tool's flow.
For Launch Ads, the ad account for the platform you want to run on must already be connected.
For Schedule Post, the social account you want to post to must already be connected on the Social tab.

Steps

Open the Create tab and scroll to your Library.
Find the creative you want to use.
Select it. The Launch Ads and Schedule Post buttons sit above the grid, on the right.
To run it as a paid ad, choose Launch Ads and continue through campaign setup.
To publish it organically, choose Schedule Post and continue into the social post flow.
Review the copy, targeting or schedule, and preview before you confirm.

Expected result

The creative is carried into the campaign or post you're building, already attached, so you only need to fill in the copy and settings around it.

Common issues

The buttons don't do anything: Make sure a creative is actually selected first — selecting a tile is a separate action from just viewing it.
The aspect ratio is wrong for the placement you want: Some placements need a specific shape. Re-crop the creative from the Library, or generate a version in the ratio you need before launching.
No account is available to post or advertise to: The relevant account isn't connected yet. Connect it first, then come back.

Once a creative is in your Library, you can send it straight into a paid campaign with Launch Ads, or into an organic social post with Schedule Post — without rebuilding it or downloading and re-uploading the file.
