Troubleshooting Guide: Campaign Edits Failed

When you have been notified that a campaign has failed while editing, it can generally happen for three main reasons:

  1. Future Demand doesn't have the necessary permission to publish the campaign.

  2. Payment method on your account is missing. 

  3. Ad can't be edited

  4. Invalid or expired access key for Marketing Assets

Depending on the type of failure, these are the steps to follow in order to fix the issue and allow Future Demand to publish campaigns in your behalf:

1. "User doesn’t have permission for this action" while attempting to edit your campaign 
If you encounter this error when trying to edit a campaign for your event, it could be because Future Demand lacks the required permissions. The permission error could be of a specific page or an account.


To resolve this issue, please follow these steps:
1. Log in to your Business Settings on Meta.
2. Navigate to either or all: Page / Instagram Account / Ad Account / Dataset (for Pixel)
3. Ensure that you have provided all the required permissions to Future Demand for publishing campaigns by using our Business ID: 394080014691557
4. Get in touch with your designated Account Manager, for him to republish your campaign.


It is recommended to ensure that Future Demand has all the required permissions beforehand so there is no delay in publishing your campaign.

2. "Missing payment method" while attempting to edit your campaign 

If you encounter this error message when trying to edit a campaign for your events, it could be due to the absence of a valid payment method linked to your Meta account. Alternatively, it may be necessary to update your payment method.


In either situation, make sure to add a valid payment method to your account before proceeding to publish the campaign for your events.


To address this issue, please follow these steps:
1. Log in to your Ads Manager Account on Meta.
2. Navigate to the payment settings section.
3. Add a valid payment method to your account.
4. Verify that the payment method is active and has sufficient funds.
5. Retry editing your campaign for event_title. If the error still occurs, get in touch with Meta Support, and inform your designated Account Manager from Future Demand.

3. "Campaign has ended and user tries to edit the campaign"

This message appears if you attempt to edit your campaign creative after the campaign's initial runtime has expired. This limitation is tied to the fact that the campaign is associated with a scheduled ad set that has reached its specified end date. As a result, you are prevented from making modifications to the campaign.

To address this issue, go to the 'Budget and schedule' section of the ad set in the Ads Manager on Meta and change the end date to a date in the future. Then after, try making your edits again.

4. "Invalid or expired access key for Marketing Assets" when attempting to edit your campaign 

If you encounter an error for invalid or expired access key (User access key and System access key), the problem is that the person who is trying to connect the Marketing Assets does not have access to all of them or that it is expired.

 

To address this issue if you are using your own add account, please follow these steps:
1. If you use your own add account please check if you have the permission for all Marketing Assets (Facebook account, Instagram account, add account and if connected the pixel).
2. Go to your WebApp Account and connect your Marketing Assets by:
- clicking on “settings” (cogwheel on the left side)
- navigating to the tab “Marketing Assets”
- if the Marketing Assets are already connected, please disconnect them by clicking on “Logout”
- click on “Continue with Facebook” for User access key and follow the steps
- if you want to grant access to your Business Assets, click on “Continue with Facebook” for System Access key and follow the steps
- if issue still persists then contact your customer success manager

 

To address this issue if you are using the add account of Future Demand, please follow these steps:
1. If you use the add account of Future Demand please ensure that you have provided all the required permissions for Instagram account and your Facebook account to Future Demand for publishing campaigns by using our Business ID: 394080014691557
2. Then contact your customer success manager to connect the Marketing assets for you as he/she will be the only person who has access to all the assets.
