To update targeting on a Facebook ad set with Claude or ChatGPT, say what should change on the ad set, review the preview of the current and new targeting, and confirm. Only the fields you give are changed. The preview names the audiences and places involved, so a replaced list never slips through.
An ad set's targeting covers places, ages, genders, audiences, detailed targeting, languages and placements. One tool edits them:
update_fb_adset changes targeting and also name, budget, status and bidding, and previews the stored targeting beside the new one.list_fb_adsets finds the ad set and its ID.The list reads. update_fb_adset changes the account.
| Tool | What it needs |
|---|---|
| update_fb_adset | Changes the account. The ad set ID, as text, and only the targeting fields that change. |
| list_fb_adsets | Reads only. Optional: a campaign ID. |
Meta replaces the whole targeting object on each edit. The tool re-sends what you did not touch, and if the current targeting cannot be read, nothing is changed.
