# meta_create_instant_experience

> Create an Instant Experience (canvas) from existing element IDs, in order, on a Page the selected ad account promotes.

[Documentation](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs) / [Sources](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs/sources) / [Meta Ads](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs/sources/meta-ads)

Create an Instant Experience (canvas) from existing element IDs, in order, on a Page the selected ad account promotes. publish:true publishes it so ads can use its canvas_link; a published experience can no longer be edited. Local preview by default. No automatic retry. Account ownership is checked before Meta validation or mutation.

> **Warning** This tool changes the account. It is absent from the tool list on the Free plan, and it previews by default: without `confirm: true` it describes the change and applies nothing.
