To preview a Facebook ad with Claude or ChatGPT, give the assistant the ad ID and the placement you want to see. PaidSync.ai returns a Meta preview link that shows the exact ad. The link is signed and valid for about an hour, so open it soon after you ask.

Seeing the Ad as People Do

A preview shows the post copy, creative, call to action button and page name as Meta renders them. Your assistant uses:

list_fb_ads finds the ad and its ID.
get_fb_ad_preview returns the Meta preview link for an existing ad on a chosen placement.

Both tools only read.

What Each Tool Needs

Tool	What it needs
list_fb_ads	Reads only. Optional: an ad set ID, as text.
get_fb_ad_preview	Reads only. The ad ID, as text. Optional: the placement format.

The preview is for an existing ad. To check assets before an ad exists, use the validation step in the ad creation guide.
