To resume a paused campaign in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to enable a paused campaign, which sets it back to serving. Enabling a campaign starts spend, so PaidSync.ai runs it as a preview first and needs your confirmation before it changes anything.

Which Tools Do the Work

A campaign created by PaidSync.ai starts paused, and you may also pause campaigns yourself. When you are ready, one tool turns the campaign back on, and reads help you check it first:

get_campaign_details only reads your account. enable_campaign changes it.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
get_campaign_detailsShows the campaign settings before you switch it on
enable_campaignSets the campaign to enabled after you confirm

Look at the budget and bidding before you enable. A campaign that has been paused for weeks may still carry an old budget or target, and enabling it starts spending on those settings straight away.

How to Resume a Paused Campaign in Google Ads With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude to resume a paused 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 resume a paused campaign in.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Open Claude's connector directory, add PaidSync.ai and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts", then pick the account where you will resume a paused campaign.

3

Review the campaign

Ask for the details of the paused campaign: its budget, bidding strategy, targeting and any ads that are not approved.

4

Preview the enable

Ask the assistant to enable it. The first call is a dry run that shows the current status and the status it would become.

5

Confirm and watch the first day

Confirm the change, then ask for the campaign performance after a few hours to see that it is serving.

How to Check the Result

Read the campaign list again and check the status is enabled. If nothing is served after a day, ask the assistant to diagnose why the campaign is not delivering.

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

"Show the settings of my campaign Autumn Offer Search, including its budget and bidding strategy."
Reads your account and changes nothing.
"Enable the campaign Autumn Offer Search and show me the preview before it changes."
Comes back as a preview and needs your confirmation.
