Post ID Duplication

Reuse a Facebook Post ID in a New Ad

Facebook post ID duplication in Adship loads source ads and their post IDs, lets you choose a target, then creates paused copies that reference the same post.

A normal copy can create a separate post

When a copied ad uses a newly built creative, it no longer references the source ad's Page post. Adship's dedicated Duplicate Ads tool can reuse the source post ID instead.

How It Works in Adship

Post ID Duplication in 4 simple steps.

1

Select Source Ads

Open Duplicate Ads to load ads from the connected Meta account. Filter or sort the list, then select one or more source ads.

2

Keep the Same Post ID

Leave Same Post ID selected when you want the duplication request to use each source ad's post ID instead of its story specification.

3

Choose the Destination

Choose a target campaign, select an existing ad set or create a new one, and choose how many copies to create.

4

Create Paused Copies

Adship creates the creative with object_story_id, creates each destination ad as paused, and reports successful and failed copies.
