Instagram Dynamic Ads

Dynamic Ads are available for Instagram. You can use custom audiences targeting to reach people who visited or engaged on your website.

To create a Dynamic Ad Template Creative for Dynamic Ads or Dynamic Ads for Travel, set template_data under object_story_spec. We support Dynamic Ads on Instagram Feed, Stories, and Explore.

Get Started

The default image is specified by the image_url of each product or other images in additonal_image_urls. If additional_image_index is set in the ad template, creative needs to have 600px or more on both width and height. If the image is not square, it will be cropped when displayed.

The name, which you can use with Carousel format only, and message for template_data are under the product image. The description does not appear on Instagram, only on Facebook.

call_to_action for template_data is optional. If it is not provided, a "LEARN MORE" button will be created by default, with the URL of the product shown.

Limitations

We deliver Dynamic ads for Facebook Feed on Instagram, even if they use certain features. However some features do not appear:

We do not deliver Dynamic ads for Facebook Feed on Instagram Stories if they contain:

  • Map cards
  • Videos from catalog
  • Category cards
  • Collections
  • Ad campaign objective is store_visits

Because each Instagram post is dynamically generated, you cannot get the instagram_permalink_url and instagram_story_id of the ad creative template. That means that you cannot get the likes and comments of your Dynamic ad posts on Instagram.
