This is how to build a shared negative keyword list in Microsoft Ads with AI: connect your Microsoft Ads account to PaidSync.ai, then ask Claude to create a negative keyword list and apply it to campaigns, so one list protects every campaign. A new list applies to no campaign until you apply it, and each step previews first.

Which Tools Do the Work

A shared list keeps blocking terms in one place. Claude builds it and then applies it:

create_ms_negative_keyword_list, add_ms_negative_keyword_list_items and apply_ms_negative_keyword_list change it. Claude calls these to build a shared negative keyword list.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
create_ms_negative_keyword_listCreates the list
add_ms_negative_keyword_list_itemsAdds more terms
apply_ms_negative_keyword_listApplies the list after you confirm

The list does nothing on its own. Applying it is the step that blocks searches, so review the campaign list in the preview. To stop a list applying to a campaign later, use the remove tool.
