Which ID do I use ?

[chrisamoore]

I am using a user id in my campaign creation like so: (All permissions granted etc. on my App and user. )

//    $session = new FacebookSession($variantSpec->account->token);
    $session = FacebookSession::newAppSession(Config::get('facebook.app_id'),Config::get('facebook.app_secret'));

    $api = new Api($session);
    $campaign  = new AdCampaign(null, $user->ad_account_id);

and I get the following error form both attempts:

• The global ID XXX is not allowed. Please use the application specific ID instead.

So where do I get the Application Specific ID

I tried passing in the same Config::get('facebook.app_id')

thanks in advance

do you have a trace for this, try to obfuscate the folders a bit but would be useful to see it

The exception is not from the SDK but from the Ads API.

You need to use the correct parent of the AdCampaign. Please see the documentation here to see:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/adcampaign/

You see that these are created relative to the Ad Account ID which is not a member of the User object.

See:
https://github.com/facebook/facebook-php-ads-sdk/blob/master/examples/adgroup_creation.php

@paulbain so the act_XXX would be the one ?

[paulbain]

Yes that's the one.

[chrisamoore]

Yup. Thanks 👍
