Facebook ads 1634011 error: "Invalid property selector given action types"

I keep getting this error when I try to create an ad (adgroup) using the facebook ads python sdk. Here is the setup I have and the result I want to achieve:

I first thought that something wasn't created in the right way (for instance the post didn't exist). But I tripled checked with no success...

Here is the whole backtrace from the python client:

FacebookRequestError: Call was not successful 
Request:

Im' a bit stuck here, does anyone have a clue?

Thanks :-)

Your conversion specs are incorrect

You have 

[{"action.type":"link_click","post.wall":xxxxxxxx,"post_id":"xxxxxxx"}]

For to select a page post, it should be:

[{"action.type":"link_click","post.wall":xxxxxxxx,"post":"xxxxxxx"}]

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/marketing-api/action-specs/v2.2 has examples you can follow
