I can't create ad group!

[airdomain]

With Facebook Ad Api, I can't create ad(group) although I have created the Campaign, AdSet, and AdCreative. I have followed instruction of facbook guide(with the all required parameters). I can't find the answer by any googling.... What's wrong? (I just found the change that ADGROUP_STATUS is required now.)

------------ PHP Codes ------------------

use FacebookAds\Object\AdGroup;
use FacebookAds\Object\Fields\AdGroupFields;

$adgroup = new AdGroup(null, $account->id);
$adgroup->setData(array(
AdGroupFields::CREATIVE => array('creative_id' => $creative->id),
AdGroupFields::NAME => 'My First AdGroup',
AdGroupFields::CAMPAIGN_ID => $adset->id,
AdGroupFields::ADGROUP_STATUS => 'ACTIVE',
));

$adgroup->create();

Can you tell me the error message? Have you enter a valid credit card in facebook billing form?

Hi @airdomain,

as mentioned by @minhsepteni, the details of the error you are facing are necessary to understand the issue. Few notes:

• in order to create an AdGroup, the parent AdAccount needs to have a valid payment method associated with it:
• to fully understand issues you need to catch the RequestException that the SDK throws:

use FacebookAds\Http\Exception\RequestException;

try {

// Your code here

} catch (RequestException $e) {
  echo 'Caught Exception: '.$e->getMessage().PHP_EOL
    .'Code: '.$e->getCode().PHP_EOL
    .'HTTP status Code: '.$e->getHttpStatusCode().PHP_EOL
    .'Error Subcode: '.$e->getErrorSubcode().PHP_EOL
    .'Error User Title: '.$e->getErrorUserTitle().PHP_EOL
    .'Error User Message: '.$e->getErrorUserMessage().PHP_EOL;
}

@airdomain, as mentioned above, you need to setup a payment method for your ad account.
