## Connect an advertising account

Ads at /ads is an optional workspace capability. The workspace includes Home, Recommendations, Campaigns, Creative library, Billing & caps and Ad accounts. Availability depends on the enabled account features and your permissions.

The connection catalogue supports OpenAI, Meta, Google, LinkedIn, TikTok, Pinterest and X advertising accounts, subject to provider access. OpenAI requires a ChatGPT Ads Manager key. X also requires the brand's X publishing account to be connected in Content's Social profiles.

## Read imported performance

Totals and local filters reflect the currently loaded page of ads. Keep currencies separate and check pagination and the reporting range before comparing totals.

- Home summarizes the available spend, impressions, clicks and connected networks.
- Campaigns provides paginated ads, search, platform and status filters, details, creative previews, CSV export and native ad-manager links.
- Creative library shows copy and images returned with the loaded ads. It is not a separate uploaded asset library.
- Billing & caps shows reported spend and budgets, grouped by platform and currency. Use the native ad manager for platform-level financial controls.
- Recommendations surfaces connection suggestions and rule-based performance flags such as reported spend without reported clicks.

## Create an ad where supported

The workspace does not provide automatic campaign activation, automatic pausing or enforcement of a shared workspace spend cap. Disconnecting an advertising connection does not stop campaigns already running on the platform.

1. Connect an eligible advertiser account and open the new-ad flow.
2. Select a supported creation destination: OpenAI, Meta, LinkedIn or Pinterest. Other connected networks use their native ad manager for creation.
3. Enter the required image-ad, traffic destination and campaign details. Review the creation summary before submitting.
4. Created ads are paused. Review and activate them in the native platform's ad manager when ready.
