This is how to pause an ad group in TikTok Ads with AI: connect your TikTok Ads account to PaidSync.ai, then ask Claude to pause one ad group, so one audience stops and the rest keep delivering. The change previews first, and the campaign and other ad groups are untouched.
Pausing an ad group is the precise move when one audience underperforms:
list_tiktok_adgroups lists the ad groups of a campaign with status and budget.get_tiktok_performance ranks the ad groups on spend and results, so the choice is based on data.update_tiktok_adgroup changes the status of the ad group between enabled and disabled, using the dedicated status endpoint.list_tiktok_adgroups and get_tiktok_performance only read your account. update_tiktok_adgroup changes it. Claude calls these to pause an ad group.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| list_tiktok_adgroups | Finds the ad group and its status |
| get_tiktok_performance | Shows which ad group is weak |
| update_tiktok_adgroup | Changes the status after the preview |
Use the performance report at ad group level before you pause, and give a new ad group time before you judge it. Pausing keeps the ad group, so you can enable it again later.
These steps use Claude to pause 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.
