To duplicate a campaign in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to duplicate a campaign under a new name, which creates a new paused campaign with the same budget and bidding. The copy does not include ad groups, keywords or ads. It starts paused, so nothing spends until you enable it.

Which Tools Do the Work

Duplicating copies a campaign's settings so you can start a variant quickly. Claude reads the source, then makes the copy:

get_campaign_details only reads your account. duplicate_campaign and copy_ad_group change it.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
get_campaign_detailsShows the settings you are copying
duplicate_campaignCreates the new paused campaign
copy_ad_groupBrings an ad group across to the new campaign

Read the limit carefully. You get the campaign shell, not its contents. To bring ad groups over you copy them one at a time with the ad group copy tool. That is slower, but each copy is checked before it is sent.

How to Duplicate a Campaign in Google Ads With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude to duplicate a campaign. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.

1

Connect Google Ads to PaidSync.ai

Register at paidsync.ai and connect Google Ads with Google's own sign-in screen. It needs no developer token and no Google Cloud project. Pick the Google login that manages the account you will duplicate a campaign in.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Install PaidSync.ai from Claude's connector directory and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts" and select the account to duplicate a campaign in.

3

Read the source

Ask for the details of the campaign you want to copy, including its budget and bidding strategy.

4

Create the copy

Give the new campaign a name and ask the assistant to run duplicate_campaign. It returns a preview, and the copy is created paused.

5

Add the contents

Copy the ad groups you need into the new campaign, or build fresh ones, then review everything before you enable it.

How to Check the Result

Ask for the new campaign details and check it is paused, with the same budget and bidding as the source. Enable it only when its ad groups and ads are in place.

Use these two prompts to duplicate a campaign, in this order.

"Show the settings of my campaign Brand Search UK."
Reads your account and changes nothing.
"Duplicate Brand Search UK as Brand Search Ireland and show me the preview."
Comes back as a preview before it is applied.
