Special Ad Categories

Certain customer list custom audiences will become ineligible for usage in ad sets of housing, employment, and financial products and services, including credit, campaigns beginning March 2025. Learn more about the update here and whether the restrictions apply to you.

Ad Sets for Special Ad Category Campaigns

Applies to v22.0+. Will apply to all versions March 2025.

Starting with v22.0, you will be unable to create or update ad sets if their targeting options contain one or more ineligible customer list custom audiences. You will need to either certify if eligible or remove any such audiences to successfully create or update the ad set. Starting early April 2025, existing campaigns/ad sets using customer list custom audiences which do not follow the requirements may be paused. If this happens, you will see errors in Ads Manager and the Marketing API with instructions.

The is_sac_cfca_terms_certified field will be added to the ad set API. You will be required to use this field to certify that any customer list custom audiences being used in an ad set of a housing, employment, and financial products and services, including credit, campaign comply with Meta’s CLCA certification.

This change affects the following endpoints when creating or updating ad sets:

• POST /{ad-account-id}/adsets
• POST /{ad-set-id}

Custom Audiences

Applies to all versions.

Starting on January 6, 2025, you can use the new is_eligible_for_sac_campaigns field to identify whether a custom audience can be used in ad sets of Special Ad Category campaigns. You must provide the intended special_ad_categories and special_ad_category_countries of the Special Ad Category campaign using the audience, as well as the ad_account_id which will use the audience to create or edit the ad set.

This change affects the following endpoints:

• GET /{custom-audience-id}

See Special Ad Categories for more information about these changes.
