# Publish to Meta Ads

> Turn an image from the Ad Generator or Ad Copier into a live Meta ad, with the headline, text and button written for you. 0 credits.

Publish to Meta Ads takes an image you made in the Ad Generator or Ad Copier and publishes it as a live ad in one of your existing Meta ad sets. Raddivus writes the headline, primary text and button for you, and you can edit every word before it goes out.

**Where:** open any generated image and choose **Publish as Meta ad**. **Cost:** 0 credits, for the copy and for publishing. **Plans:** Professional and VIP (and an active trial).

<Note>
  The ad is created **live**. It starts spending the ad set's budget as soon as Meta approves it. You can pause it in Meta Ads Manager at any time.
</Note>

## Before you start

* Connect your Meta ad account in **Settings → Connections**.
* Have a campaign and an ad set ready in Ads Manager. Raddivus publishes into existing ones and never creates a campaign or an ad set.
* The ad account needs at least one ad already running from your Facebook Page. Raddivus offers the Pages your existing ads use.

## Publish an ad

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the image">
    In the Ad Generator or Ad Copier, open a finished image and choose **Publish as Meta ad**. On the Ad Generator canvas, the same button sits on each image card.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick where it runs">
    Choose the **Ad account**, **Campaign**, **Ad set** and **Facebook Page**. Ad sets that cannot take a website ad (Messenger, WhatsApp, an app or an instant form) are listed with the reason and cannot be picked.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Write the copy">
    Click **Write the copy**. Raddivus writes the **Primary text**, **Headline**, **Button** and **Description** from your brand profile. If the image was made inside a project, it also follows that project's instructions. Click **Write another version** for different wording, or edit any field yourself.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check the website and the ad name">
    **Website** is where the button sends people. It starts as your brand's website. **Ad name** is how the ad appears in Ads Manager.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review and publish">
    Check the preview on the right, then click **Publish**. A confirmation names the ad set and campaign the ad goes into. Click **Publish live** to send it.
  </Step>
</Steps>

**Publish** stays greyed out until every required field is filled in, and the page says which one is missing. The counters under the headline and primary text turn amber past Meta's recommended length. That is a suggestion, not a limit.

You can also click **Save draft** to come back later. Drafts and published ads are shared with your team, and each published ad records who published it.

## After publishing

The page shows **Publishing to Meta**, then **Published** with the ad's status at that moment (live, in review, or waiting for a paused ad set or campaign). Click **Open in Ads Manager** to see it in Meta. The **Published from this image** list keeps every ad you published from that image.

To put the same image in another ad set, click **Publish to another ad set**.

## Limits

* Existing campaigns and ad sets only.
* Website ads only.
* One image per ad.
* The Facebook Page list comes from the Pages your ad account's existing ads use, and each Page shows by its number, not its name.
* The status shown is the status at publish time. Ads Manager always has the live status.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="It says Publishing to Meta is a Professional feature">
    Publishing is part of the Professional and VIP plans. Use the upgrade button on that page to change your plan.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="No Facebook Page is listed">
    Your ad account has not run an ad from a Page yet. Publish one ad from your Page in Ads Manager, then come back.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Your Meta connection has expired">
    Reconnect Meta Ads in **Settings → Connections**, then publish again. Nothing was published.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Meta rejected this ad">
    Change the text or the image so it follows Meta's ad policies, then click **Publish again**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The ad set's budget is too low">
    Raise the ad set's budget in Ads Manager, then publish again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Meta needs to know who benefits from and who pays for this ad set">
    Add the beneficiary and payer in the ad set's settings in Ads Manager, then publish again.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="This is taking longer than usual">
    Click **Check again**. If Meta did not answer in time, check Ads Manager before publishing again, so the ad is not created twice.
