This is how to start an experiment in Microsoft Ads with AI: connect your Microsoft Ads account to PaidSync.ai, then ask Claude to start an experiment on a campaign with a traffic split, after showing how much budget moves. An experiment takes live traffic and money from a live campaign, so it needs your explicit confirmation.

Which Tools Do the Work

An experiment copies a campaign and gives the copy a share of traffic. Check the existing ones first:

list_ms_experiments only reads your account. create_ms_experiment and end_ms_experiment change it. Claude calls these to start an experiment.

How the Workflow Is Built

ToolWhat it does
list_ms_experimentsShows existing experiments
create_ms_experimentStarts the experiment after you confirm
end_ms_experimentEnds the experiment

The preview states what share of the base campaign's daily budget moves. Change one thing in the experiment so you can read the result. Ending an experiment cannot be undone.

How to Start an Experiment in Microsoft Ads With Claude in 5 Steps

These steps use Claude to start an experiment in Microsoft Ads. In the ChatGPT app PaidSync.ai is report-only for Microsoft Ads, so the change itself runs in Claude or another MCP client.

1

Connect Microsoft Ads to PaidSync.ai

Start at paidsync.ai, then link Microsoft Ads through Microsoft's own sign-in screen. Use a Microsoft login that can reach the account where you plan to start an experiment.

2

Add PaidSync.ai to Claude

Open Claude's connector directory, add PaidSync.ai and sign in. Ask "list my Microsoft Ads accounts", then pick the account where you will start an experiment.

3

Check existing experiments

List the experiments on the base campaign.

4

Define the test

Choose the base campaign, a name, the traffic split and the start date.

5

Preview and confirm

Read the budget and traffic shift in the dry run, then confirm.

How to Check the Result

List the experiment again and watch its status move from creating to active.

Use these two prompts to start an experiment in Microsoft Ads, in this order.

"List the experiments on Microsoft campaign 345678901."
Reads your account and changes nothing.
"Start an experiment called Bid Strategy Test on campaign 345678901 with 30 percent of traffic starting on 3 November, as a preview."
Comes back as a preview and needs your confirmation.
