To duplicate a Facebook ad set with Claude or ChatGPT, ask the assistant to duplicate the ad set, say whether to copy its ads and which campaign it goes into, and approve the preview. The copy is created paused, so you can change the audience or budget before it delivers.

Why Copy an Ad Set

Copying an ad set is the quickest way to test one new audience, placement or budget against a proven setup. One tool makes the copy:

The list reads. duplicate_fb_adset writes a new ad set.

What Each Tool Needs

ToolWhat it needs
duplicate_fb_adsetChanges the account. The ad set ID, as text. Optional: a new name, a target campaign, whether to copy the ads and the status of the copy.
list_fb_adsetsReads only. Optional: a campaign ID.

The copy keeps the source ad set's attribution setting, and Meta will not change that on a copy. If you want a different attribution window, use the attribution move instead.

How to Duplicate a Facebook Ad Set With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, so you can duplicate a Facebook ad set there with the same prompts.

1

Connect Meta Ads to PaidSync.ai

Register at paidsync.ai and sign in to Facebook when Meta asks. Pick the ad set that already works and decide what the copy should test.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Find PaidSync.ai in Claude's connector directory, add it and sign in. Ask for your Facebook ad accounts, then name the one to use when you duplicate a Facebook ad set.

3

Choose where the copy goes

Tell Claude whether it stays in the campaign or moves to another, and whether the ads come along. A deep copy covers up to 3 ads.

4

Preview the copy

Claude runs duplicate_fb_adset as a dry run and shows the name, destination and status.

5

Approve and edit

Say yes. Then change the audience or budget on the paused copy and turn it on when ready.

How to Check the Result

List the ad sets in the destination campaign and look for the copy. Check it is paused, and that the ads came across if you asked for them.

"Duplicate my Facebook ad set UK 25 to 44 into the campaign Spring Leads Test, with its ads, and keep it paused."
Previews first.
"List the ad sets in Spring Leads with their statuses and daily budgets."
Reads only.
