Pause or activate entities (adsap_set_entity_status)

Platform: Meta · Read or write: Write · Plan: All plans · Consumes a task: Yes · Preview supported: Yes

What it does

Pauses or reactivates Meta campaigns, ad sets or ads in one batch, up to 50 at a time. You name the level and the entities, and the copilot applies the change. Ask for a preview to see what would change before the copilot touches anything.

Parameters

Descriptions are shortened from the tool schema. Your assistant sees the full text.

Example prompts

  • “Pause every ad set in the Winter Clearance campaign.”
  • “Turn the Lookalike 1% ad set back on.”
  • “Show me what would happen if I paused these three campaigns, but do not pause them yet.”

Notes

The copilot only reactivates something when you ask for it in so many words.

  • adsap_update_entity: Edit an existing Meta campaign, ad set, or ad: change name, status (PAUSED/ACTIVE), budget, schedule, or ad-set targeting.
