To set an ad schedule in Google Ads with Claude or ChatGPT, connect your Google Ads account to PaidSync.ai and ask the assistant to set an ad schedule on a campaign, which limits your ads to the days and hours you choose. You give the days and the start and end hours for each window. PaidSync.ai previews the schedule before it is applied.

Which Tools Do the Work

An ad schedule, also called dayparting, restricts a campaign to the days and hours you pick. One write tool sets it, and a read shows the campaign first:

get_campaign_details only reads your account. set_ad_schedule changes it.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
get_campaign_detailsShows the campaign before you schedule it
set_ad_scheduleWrites the days and hours to the campaign

Hours follow the account time zone, not yours. A schedule also limits when your budget can be used, so a narrow window concentrates spend. Base it on when leads actually arrive, not on guesswork.

How to Set an Ad Schedule in Google Ads With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude to set an ad schedule. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, and the prompts are the same.

1

Connect Google Ads to PaidSync.ai

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 set an ad schedule.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Install PaidSync.ai from Claude's connector directory and sign in. Ask "list my Google Ads accounts" and select the account to set an ad schedule in.

3

Decide the windows

Pick the days and hours that make sense for your business, such as Monday to Friday from 8 to 18, when your phones are answered.

4

Describe them to the assistant

List each window as a day with a start and end hour. Ask the assistant to run set_ad_schedule on the campaign.

5

Review and apply

Read the preview to check each day and hour. Approve it, then read the campaign schedule back to confirm.

How to Check the Result

Check the schedule on the campaign and compare results by day and hour after a week. Widen a window if you see strong results at its edge.

Use these two prompts to set an ad schedule, in this order.

"Show the settings and last 30 days of results for my campaign Emergency Plumber."
Reads your account and changes nothing.
"Set an ad schedule on Emergency Plumber for Monday to Friday from 8 to 18 and Saturday from 9 to 14, and show the preview."
Comes back as a preview before it is applied.

A connected Google Ads account, the campaign and a list of days with a start and end hour for each.
