Preview Meta Ads and Share a Preview Link

Before you spend money, you can check how a Meta ad will look in each place it can appear, and you can send a preview to a teammate or client who does not have a Vendi Today login.

Open Advanced Preview

1. Go to Marketing > Ad Manager.
2. Open the Meta campaign you want to review.
3. Open the relevant Ad Set, then select the Ad.
4. In the preview panel on the right side of the builder, click Advanced Preview.

You will see the creative rendered for the placements available to that campaign, such as feed, stories and reels. When a format cannot run in a particular placement, the preview shows the explanation supplied by Meta rather than a broken image, so you know what to change.

Copy a shareable preview link

Shareable links are offered only for ads that have already been published.

1. Open the published campaign, then the ad set, then the ad.
2. In the preview panel, click the link icon next to Advanced Preview.
3. Paste the copied URL into an email, a Conversation or a chat message.

Anyone who opens the link sees the ad in Meta's own preview screen. They can flip through the placement views Meta makes available for that ad. They cannot edit anything.

Troubleshooting

• No link icon: the campaign is probably still a draft. Publish it first.
• A placement shows an error message: swap the media for a supported size or aspect ratio, or remove that placement from the ad set.
• Preview looks different after edits: reopen the ad so the panel refreshes.

Good to know: Send the preview link to a client for sign-off before you publish a campaign update, so their approval is recorded in your Conversations thread.
