Launching with Existing Post ID
Written By Yuri P.
Launch an ad using a Facebook post that already exists on your Page — so the ad runs from the organic post, preserving all existing likes, comments, and social proof.
Why Use an Existing Post ID
When you run ads from a new post each time, social proof resets. Using an existing post ID lets you accumulate likes, comments, and shares across all your ad spend — which increases social credibility.
How to Do It in Co-Pilot
In Co-Pilot, in the creative step, instead of uploading a new file, click Use Existing Post. Enter the Facebook post ID. Co-Pilot will use that post as the ad creative.
How to Find Your Post ID
Go to your Facebook Page
2. Click on the post
3. The URL will contain the post ID after /posts/
4. Copy that number
FAQ
Can I use a post from a different Page than my ad account’s Page?
No. The post must come from the Facebook Page connected to the ad account you’re launching from.
