This is how to create a campaign in LinkedIn Ads with AI: connect your LinkedIn Ads account to PaidSync.ai, then ask Claude to create a campaign in an existing group with an objective, a daily budget and a target audience, which starts as a draft that never serves and never spends. It needs a campaign group and a targeting definition, and the build runs as a preview before anything is created.
A campaign needs a group to live in and an audience to reach, so the workflow looks up both before it builds:
list_linkedin_campaign_groups finds the group the campaign should belong to.search_linkedin_targeting_entities turns names such as a country or job title into the identifiers LinkedIn needs for targeting.create_linkedin_campaign creates the campaign with its objective, budget, bid and targeting. It starts as a draft unless you ask for paused or active.list_linkedin_campaign_groups and search_linkedin_targeting_entities only read your account. create_linkedin_campaign changes it. Claude calls these to create a campaign.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| list_linkedin_campaign_groups | Finds the parent group |
| search_linkedin_targeting_entities | Resolves audience names to identifiers |
| create_linkedin_campaign | Creates the campaign after the preview |
A targeting definition is required, because LinkedIn treats a campaign built without one as auto-targeting, which disables most ad formats and cannot be undone. PaidSync.ai also leaves the LinkedIn Audience Network and audience expansion off unless you ask for them.
These steps use Claude to create a campaign in LinkedIn Ads. In the ChatGPT app PaidSync.ai is report-only for LinkedIn Ads, so the change itself runs in Claude or another MCP client.
Create a free account at paidsync.ai and approve LinkedIn Ads on LinkedIn's own sign-in screen. Use a LinkedIn login that has access to the ad account where you will create a campaign.
Open Claude's connector directory, add PaidSync.ai and sign in. Ask "list my LinkedIn ad accounts", then pick the account where you will create a campaign.
Choose the campaign group and one objective, such as lead generation or website visits. The objective cannot be changed later.
Ask the assistant to look up the locations, titles or industries you want and use the identifiers it returns.
Check the objective, budget, bid and targeting in the dry run, then confirm to create the draft.
List the campaigns and confirm the new one shows the objective, budget and draft status you asked for, then read its targeting back.
Use these two prompts to create a campaign in LinkedIn Ads, in this order.
list_linkedin_campaign_groups and search_linkedin_targeting_entities only read your account, so the lookup before you create a campaign changes nothing.create_linkedin_campaign runs as a preview by default, so you see the change before it is applied when you create a campaign. The campaign is a draft unless you pass paused or active.create_linkedin_campaign runs to create a campaign.create_linkedin_campaign runs in Claude or another MCP client when you create a campaign. Tokens are encrypted at rest.Every LinkedIn Ads tool PaidSync.ai offers is on the LinkedIn Ads MCP Server page, including the tools used to create a campaign.
In Campaign Manager you pick an objective, an audience and a budget in turn. With PaidSync.ai, describe those three in one request to Claude and approve the preview.
No. LinkedIn does not allow it, so the update tool leaves the objective out and you create a new campaign instead.
No. It is created as a draft, which never serves and never spends, until you set it to paused or active.
Not to create a campaign itself. In the ChatGPT app PaidSync.ai reads and reports on LinkedIn Ads but is report-only, so run the change in Claude or another MCP client. ChatGPT can still read the account first.
