Ad Accounts

Create or reuse a custom conversion

Provision the Meta custom conversion an ads flow optimises toward, and hand back the customConversionId for promotedObject.customConversionId on POST /v1/ads/create. Removes the manual "create it in Ads Manager first" step.

Reuse is ours, not Meta's. Meta's create is not idempotent, so a retried request would otherwise mint a duplicate carrying none of the original's optimisation history. A non-archived conversion with the same name on the same pixelId is returned instead of created, with reused: true and a 200 rather than a 201.

rule is forwarded verbatim in Meta's own grammar (e.g. {"url": {"i_contains": "thank-you"}}); Meta validates it and rejects a malformed one with "A conversion rule is required at creation time".
