Decide what your AI can change
What you'll have at the end: a switch for each kind of change, set the way you want, for all platforms or one at a time.
Who can change this: the workspace Owner or an Admin. Everyone else can see it.
All on to start
Reading is always on: your AI can look at your accounts and report. Every kind of change starts on (Full control). Turn off what you do not want. Open Add to your AI in the menu and find What your AI can do. You can also reach it from Settings.
If your AI tries something that is off, nothing changes. It tells you what was turned off and gives you a link to the switch. Turn it on if you want it, then ask again.
The switches
| Group | Switch | What it allows |
|---|---|---|
| Campaigns | Create campaigns and ads | New campaigns, ad groups, ad sets and ads. |
| Campaigns | Turn ads on | Start campaigns, ad groups and ads. This is what starts spending. |
| Campaigns | Pause ads | Stop campaigns, ad groups and ads. |
| Budgets and bids | Raise budgets | Raise daily or lifetime budgets and spending limits. |
| Budgets and bids | Lower budgets | Lower daily or lifetime budgets. |
| Budgets and bids | Change bids | Bid amounts, bid strategies and targets. |
| Ads and audiences | Edit ads and creatives | Text, images, videos, links, names, lead forms and catalogs. |
| Ads and audiences | Edit targeting and keywords | Locations, ages, interests, placements, keywords and negative keywords. |
| Ads and audiences | Create and update audiences | Custom and lookalike audiences, and customer lists you ask it to upload. |
| Tracking | Conversion setup | Conversion actions, pixels and sending conversion data. |
| Tracking | Website tracking | Add websites, choose events, send tests, apply fixes, pause tracking. |
| Bigger changes | Automated rules | Rules and budget schedules that change your ads later, on their own. |
| Bigger changes | Delete and archive | Remove campaigns, ads, audiences, rules and tracked websites. This cannot be undone. |
| Bigger changes | Advanced changes | Raw platform changes, Google's recommendations, and linking or creating ad accounts. |
Presets
Tap one to set the switches at once:
- Look only: nothing can change.
- Daily optimizer: pause ads, lower budgets and raise budgets.
- Full control (the default): everything except advanced changes.
The page shows which preset matches. If you change a switch afterwards it says Custom.
One platform different from the others
By default a switch is the same for every ad platform. Pick a platform on the page to make it different, for example raising budgets on Google only. Use All platforms puts it back.
Free plan and payment problems
- Free plan: your AI can make changes within the Free monthly limit.
- If your payment needs attention, the switches lock until it is fixed.
Optional two-step sign-in
You can turn on two-step sign-in in your account settings. If you do, it is asked at sign-in only. Your AI's changes never wait for a code: the access token you gave your AI is what authorizes them, and you can revoke it any time.
Every change is logged
Every change your AI makes is in Activity: who asked, which AI tool, what changed, before and after. A change your AI tried while its switch was off shows there too, with a link to turn the switch on. Most changes can be reversed from Activity for 7 days.
How this works with your AI tool's own settings
Some AI tools also ask before using a tool (for example ChatGPT's per-app permission levels). That is the AI tool's setting. OpenAdManager's switches apply on our server on top of it, whatever the AI tool does. Some AI tool plans may not allow changes at all; that is the AI tool's limit, not OpenAdManager's.
Check it worked
Ask your AI: "Use OpenAdManager: show my status." The answer lists which kinds of change are on and links to the switches.
