This is how to create an ad group in TikTok Ads with AI: connect your TikTok Ads account to PaidSync.ai, then ask Claude to create an ad group in a campaign with locations, a budget and a bid, which is created paused. The request is checked against the campaign objective as a preview first.
The ad group holds the audience, placement, budget and bid. It needs location identifiers, so the workflow looks them up first:
list_tiktok_campaigns finds the campaign the ad group belongs to.search_tiktok_locations finds TikTok's numeric identifier for a country, region or city.create_tiktok_adgroup creates the ad group with its locations, placement, budget, optimization goal, billing event and bid. It is always created paused.list_tiktok_campaigns and search_tiktok_locations only read your account. create_tiktok_adgroup changes it. Claude calls these to create an ad group.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| list_tiktok_campaigns | Finds the parent campaign |
| search_tiktok_locations | Looks up location identifiers |
| create_tiktok_adgroup | Creates the ad group after the preview |
Placements default to TikTok only. The check confirms the optimization goal fits the campaign objective, so a traffic campaign uses click optimization and a reach campaign uses reach. Use the lowest-cost bid unless you have a target bid in mind.
These steps use Claude to create an ad group in TikTok Ads. In the ChatGPT app PaidSync.ai is report-only for TikTok Ads, so the change itself runs in Claude or another MCP client.
Sign up at paidsync.ai, then connect TikTok Ads on TikTok's own sign-in screen. Choose the advertiser accounts PaidSync.ai may manage at the consent step, including the one where you want to create an ad group.
Install PaidSync.ai from Claude's connector directory and sign in. Ask "list my TikTok advertisers" and select the account to create an ad group in.
List the campaigns and choose the parent by ID.
Ask for the identifiers of each country, region or city to target.
Give the budget and bid, read the checks in the dry run and confirm.
List the ad groups of the campaign and check the new one shows the locations, the placement, the budget and a paused status.
