## Inputs

| Field | Type | Required | Default | Description |
| - | - | - | - | - |
| `account` | DynamicAccount | Yes | - | LinkedIn Ads account to create the ad in. |
| `update_type` | string or SelectableOption | Yes | - | Create a single document ad ('single') or many at once ('bulk'). |
| `adset_id` | string or SelectItem | No | - | Ad set (LinkedIn sponsored campaign) the ad belongs to. Maps to the creative's campaign. |
| `organization` | string or SelectItem | Yes | - | Company Page used as the post author. Accepts an organization id or urn:li:organization:123. |
| `document_url` | string | No | - | Document for the ad: PDF, PPT, PPTX, DOC, or DOCX up to 100MB and 300 pages. Accepts a direct file URL or a Google Drive share link (set to 'Anyone with the link'). Markifact uploads it to LinkedIn automatically. |
| `intro_text` | string | No | - | Introductory text shown above the document. Up to 3000 characters. |
| `headline` | string | No | - | Document title shown on the ad. Cannot be changed after the ad is created. |
| `destination_url` | string | No | - | Landing page URL the ad clicks through to. Required when the ad set's objective is Website Visits or Website Conversions (LinkedIn rejects the ad without it); optional for Brand Awareness, Engagement, and Lead Generation. |
| `lead_form` | string or SelectItem | No | - | Optional LinkedIn lead-gen form. Provide this for Lead Generation ad sets: the document is gated behind the form. Accepts a form id or urn:li:adForm:123. LinkedIn does not allow reusing one document across multiple lead-gen ads; Markifact uploads the document fresh for each ad, which satisfies this. |
| `call_to_action` | string or SelectableOption | No | - | Call-to-action button label (e.g. DOWNLOAD, SIGN\_UP). Used with a lead form or a destination URL; ignored otherwise. |
| `gated_preview_pages` | integer | No | - | Lead-gen only: number of pages shown as a free preview before the form (starting from page 1). Leave empty for LinkedIn's default. |
| `ad_name` | string | No | - | Optional creative name. Up to 255 characters. |
| `status` | string or SelectableOption | No | `{'value': 'DRAFT', 'label': 'Draft'}` | Initial creative status: DRAFT (safely inactive) or ACTIVE (submitted for review). |
| `structured_data` | array (also accepts a comma-separated string) | No | - | Use only when update\_type is 'bulk', typically the output of a Sheets read. Each row supports: document\_url, adset\_id, intro\_text, headline, destination\_url, lead\_form, call\_to\_action, gated\_preview\_pages, ad\_name, status. |
| `return_detailed_results` | boolean | No | `False` | Bulk mode only. If true, returns per-row results and does not raise on partial failures so the workflow can continue. Default false. |
