2. On the Facebook tab, enter a name for your campaign and select an ad account.
3. In the What do you want to promote? section, select External Website, and then select Proceed.
   
4. On the Ads Design page, select your Facebook page, and specify the elements of your ad creative (headline, ad text, and upload a picture or video).
   • Picture: Recommended size 1200px x 1920px.
   • Video: Up to 2 minutes long, and at least 600px x 315px.
5. In the Placement & Previews section, select Instagram Story and review the preview of your ad for the Instagram Story placement. If applicable, follow any instructions listed to successfully generate your Story ad.
