FAQs

Can I undo a campaign removal?
No. Setting a campaign status to REMOVED permanently deletes the campaign and cannot be undone. Use PAUSED instead if you might want to reactivate the campaign later.

What happens to ads when I pause a campaign?
When a campaign is paused:
- All ads stop serving immediately

How do I bulk update campaigns based on performance?

What's the difference between structured data and manual mapping?
What's the difference between structured data and manual mapping?
- Structured data: Your data source contains both campaign IDs and statuses in a single dataset
- Manual mapping: You have separate data sources for campaign IDs and statuses (matched by position)
Use structured data when your analysis output includes both fields. Use manual mapping when you have separate lists.
