Creatives
An ad creative conceptually contains all the data for visually rendering the ad. There are several types of ad creatives that you can associate with campaigns including Text Ads, Sponsored Content, Message Ads, Sponsored Video, Sponsored Carousel Ads, and Dynamic Ads.
The following conditions apply: .An ad account can have a maximum of 15,000 creatives. .A campaign can have a maximum of 100 creatives. .Creative types must match their campaign’s ad format. If the campaign has no ad format set, it will be set by the first creative created under that campaign. Dynamic, carousel, and video ad campaigns must have their format set upon creation.
The Creatives pipeline can be used to request and retrieve creatives performance reports. Read more about the Ad creatives here
