To change the bid strategy of a Facebook campaign with Claude or ChatGPT, ask the assistant to switch the campaign to the bid strategy you want, check the preview, and confirm. PaidSync.ai updates the campaign through the Meta API. The four strategies are lowest cost without a cap, lowest cost with a bid cap, cost cap and lowest cost with a minimum ROAS.

What a Bid Strategy Controls

The bid strategy tells Meta how to spend your budget to win auctions. When the budget sits on the campaign, the strategy sits there too. A single tool changes it:

The list reads. update_fb_campaign changes the account.

What Each Tool Needs

ToolWhat it needs
update_fb_campaignChanges the account. The campaign ID, as text, and the bid strategy to switch to.
list_fb_campaignsReads only. Nothing, it reads the active ad account.

A strategy with a bid cap or cost cap makes each ad set ask for a bid amount. If the ad sets have none, they fail to save, so pick lowest cost without a cap unless you have a target.

How to Change the Bid Strategy of a Facebook Campaign With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, so you can change the bid strategy of a Facebook campaign there with the same prompts.

1

Connect Meta Ads to PaidSync.ai

Sign up at paidsync.ai, then connect Meta on Meta's own sign-in screen. Know the cost per result or return you are aiming for.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Add PaidSync.ai from Claude's connector directory and sign in. Ask "list my Facebook ad accounts" and choose the one where you want to change the bid strategy of a Facebook campaign.

3

Pick the strategy

Tell Claude your goal, for example hold cost per result under a number, and let it match one of the four strategies.

4

Preview the update

Claude runs update_fb_campaign as a dry run and shows the current strategy and the new one.

5

Confirm and watch delivery

Say yes. Then check the ad sets for errors about missing bid amounts and watch results for a few days.

How to Check the Result

Ask for the campaign again and read its bid strategy. Check the ad sets for bid errors in the next hour, since a cap strategy needs a bid on each.

"Switch my Facebook campaign Spring Leads to lowest cost without a cap and show the preview."
Previews first.
"Which of my Facebook campaigns have a budget on the campaign itself?"
Reads only.
