To run a bulk edit with mutate in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to run a mutate operation, which can create, update or remove almost any Google Ads resource. It is the catch-all write tool, so it runs as a preview and needs your confirmation. Use a purpose-built tool first when one exists.
Some changes have no dedicated tool. The mutate tool takes Google Ads API operations directly, and Claude can write them and check them for you:
run_gaql_query reads the current state of the resource first, so the operation targets the right thing.run_mutate executes Google Ads mutate operations, such as a campaign operation with create, update or remove. It runs as a preview and needs your confirmation, with a second one for large changes.run_gaql_query only reads your account. run_mutate changes it.
| Tool | What it does |
|---|---|
| run_gaql_query | Reads the resource before you edit it |
| run_mutate | Applies the operation after you confirm |
Treat it as the last option. A dedicated tool, such as the one for budgets, validates your input and explains the result, while a raw operation trusts you to be exact. Always read the preview, especially for any remove operation.
These steps use Claude to run a bulk edit with mutate. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.
Create a free account at paidsync.ai and approve Google Ads on Google's own sign-in screen. You do not need a developer token or a Google Cloud project, only a login with access to the account where you will run a bulk edit with mutate.
Open Claude's connector directory, add PaidSync.ai and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts", then pick the account where you will run a bulk edit with mutate.
Ask the assistant whether a tool already covers the change. Use it if it does.
Run a query for the resource so you know its ID, resource name and present values.
Ask for the operation as a dry run, read exactly what it would do, then confirm it.
Query the resource again and check that only the intended fields changed. Keep the operation text so you can reverse it if needed.
Use these two prompts to run a bulk edit with mutate, in this order.
run_gaql_query only reads your account, so the lookup before you run a bulk edit with mutate changes nothing.run_mutate runs as a preview by default, so you see the change before it is applied.run_mutate needs your explicit confirmation, and that applies when you run a bulk edit with mutate.run_mutate runs.run_mutate can show a preview but not apply it. Tokens are encrypted at rest.run_mutate is applied, the change is logged, on a best-effort basis, with a before-and-after result.Every Google Ads tool PaidSync.ai offers is on the Google Ads MCP server page, including the tools used to run a bulk edit with mutate.
Google Ads has no single screen for arbitrary changes, so this is normally done through the API. With PaidSync.ai, ask Claude or ChatGPT to write and preview the operation for you.
Only when no dedicated tool covers the change. Dedicated tools validate the input and explain the outcome.
Yes. PaidSync.ai connects Google Ads to ChatGPT and to Claude, and the same tools run in both, so you can ask it to run a bulk edit with mutate the same way you would in Claude.
A connected Google Ads account and the operations to run, which the assistant can write from your description.
