Do I need to fill in the URL, headline and text when bulk uploading ads? What does the system copy from existing ads?
No. All of these fields are optional. When you leave them blank, the editor inherits the settings from the ads already in the ad set: main text, headline, description, destination URL, call-to-action button, Facebook Page, Instagram profile, UTM parameters and the website event tracking pixel. This works even with ads in the Advantage+ format, which store the link in a different structure. If you fill in the Site URL, it takes priority and replaces the inherited link in all the ads you create. Advantage+ automatic enhancements (image enhancements, text enhancements, etc.) are turned off by default on new ads, so your creative goes out exactly as you uploaded it. Important: inheritance only works if the ad set already has at least one ad. In completely empty ad sets, enter the URL manually if your campaign objective requires it.
