How To

After creating the automation, make a few selections and then hit “Run Automation”. The check will happen by default every hour. If none of your ads are disapproved, you won’t get a Slack message.

💡

Per default, all active ads in an account will be checked. If you want to be more specific in the campaign, ad set, or ad selection you can add filters to the automation following this Builder tutorial.

Step 1

Select an Ad Account

Step 2

Select a Slack Channel, in which you would like to receive the notifications

Step 3

Define how often you want the automation to run

💡

Please note that on the first run, this will automation will send an alert for all currently disapproved ads in active adsets in the account.
