This is how to pause a campaign in Microsoft Ads with AI: connect your Microsoft Ads account to PaidSync.ai, then ask Claude to pause a campaign by name or ID, which stops delivery until you enable it again. The pause needs your explicit confirmation before it runs.
Pausing is the quickest way to stop spend on Bing and Microsoft partner sites, so it is gated and reversible:
list_ms_campaigns lists campaigns with type, budget and status.pause_ms_campaign sets the campaign status to paused. It needs your explicit confirmation and can be undone with the enable tool.list_ms_campaigns only reads your account. pause_ms_campaign changes it. Claude calls these to pause a campaign.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| list_ms_campaigns | Finds the campaign and its status |
| pause_ms_campaign | Pauses the campaign after you confirm |
Pausing stops the whole campaign. To stop one audience or keyword, edit the ad group or keyword instead. The active account and its customer must be set before the pause, so the right account is addressed.
