Step 1: First, you will need to fill in some general rule information.
- Choose a unique name for your rule so you can easily recognize it later.
- Optionally, you can group similar rules together.
- Choose the data time frame for this rule. In our example, we are considering data from the past 3 days. This can be adjusted according to your needs, and it ranges from “today” to “last 90 days”.
- You have the option to exclude data from this interval. This is important for search arbitrage advertisers who are working with estimated revenue data and need to exclude today, or today & yesterday, from their optimizations.
Step 2: Next, select your rule conditions. Choose from over 100+ metrics, or create your own custom metrics, to build rules. You can add as many conditions as needed.
- The only condition we are applying in this example is that the ad group spend has to be less than $50.

Step 3: Optionally, you can include or exclude ad groups from this rule. If you only want the rule to apply to specific ad groups, include them via the drop-down list. If you do not wish to make changes to certain ad groups, exclude them from the rule.
Step 4: Now, select which campaigns you want to apply this rule to. You can manually select campaigns, or you can use the filter on the right, to bulk add all active campaigns, all paused campaigns, or filter campaigns by a keyword.

Step 5: Indicate how many ad group copies you need to create. In this case, we are creating 3 copies. The clones will be automatically set live, and they will have the same setup, budget, and creatives as the originals.
Step 6: Finally, you need to schedule the rule & alerts.
- First, choose how often you want the rule to run. It can be as often as every 10 minutes, once per hour, or daily at specific times of the day. We are selecting “Only Once” for this example, meaning that the 3 copies will be created only once and not repeated further.
- You can set your rule to “Alert Only”, “Execute”, or “Execute & Alert”.
- The first option will not make any changes to your campaigns, but it will notify you via email, Slack, or Telegram when the rule conditions have been met.
- “Execute” will immediately apply the rule and not send you any notifications about it.
- “Execute & Alert” will apply the rule, and also notify you whenever the rule has been applied.
