To turn on a paused Facebook campaign with Claude or ChatGPT, ask the assistant to enable the paused campaign, review the preview of the status change, then confirm. PaidSync.ai sets the campaign to active. Check the ad sets and ads below it first, because a campaign only delivers when its ad sets and ads are on as well.
Switching a campaign on is the moment spend can start again, which is why it asks for a confirmation. Your assistant uses these tools:
list_fb_campaigns shows which campaigns are paused and what their budgets are.list_fb_adsets lists the ad sets under the campaign with their statuses, so you can see what will deliver.enable_fb_campaign sets a paused campaign to active, and can check the live status first.The two lists read. enable_fb_campaign changes the account and asks for a confirmation.
| Tool | What it needs |
|---|---|
| list_fb_campaigns | Reads only. Nothing, it reads the active ad account. |
| list_fb_adsets | Reads only. Optional: a campaign ID, as text, to list only its ad sets. |
| enable_fb_campaign | Changes the account. The campaign ID. Optional: the status you were shown. |
Turning on the campaign does not switch on a paused ad set or ad inside it. If the ad sets are still paused, nothing delivers, so enable them too.
These steps use Claude. PaidSync.ai also works in ChatGPT, so you can turn on a paused Facebook campaign there with the same prompts.
Register at paidsync.ai and sign in to Facebook when Meta asks. Review budgets and creative in Ads Manager first if the campaign has been paused for a long time.
Find PaidSync.ai in Claude's connector directory, add it and sign in. Ask for your Facebook ad accounts, then name the one to use when you turn on a paused Facebook campaign.
Ask Claude for the campaign's ad sets with their statuses and daily budgets, so you know the spend you are about to allow.
Claude runs enable_fb_campaign as a dry run. It shows paused today and active after, with nothing changed.
Say yes. The change needs your explicit confirmation. Then check the status and, a few hours later, the spend.
Ask for the campaign list and look for the active status. After a few hours, ask for today's spend by ad set to confirm that delivery has started.
Every Meta tool PaidSync.ai offers is on the Meta Ads MCP server page. If you need to stop it again, see how to pause a Facebook campaign with AI.
Ask Claude or ChatGPT to enable it through PaidSync.ai. It previews the status change, and you confirm before it runs.
Check the ad sets and ads below it. Delivery needs all three levels on, plus a budget and an approved ad.
Yes. The enable tool is marked as needing one, so the assistant asks you first.
Ask for each separately. The campaign, ad set and ad levels each have their own enable tool.
