What Snapchat Ads data can Gemini see through PaidSync?

Your organizations, ad accounts, campaigns, ad squads and ads, plus campaign performance: impressions, swipes, spend, video views and purchases, as a total, by day or by hour. Performance is reported per campaign, not per ad squad or ad.

Can Gemini pause campaigns and change budgets on Snapchat?

Yes, on campaigns that already run. Through PaidSync, Gemini can pause and enable campaigns, change a campaign's daily budget or lifetime spend cap, and change an ad squad's status, bid, budget and name. Budget, bid and setting changes preview as a dry run by default.

Does PaidSync create new Snapchat campaigns?

No. PaidSync does not create campaigns, ad squads or ads on Snapchat, and it does not upload creative. Build new campaigns in Snapchat Ads Manager, then manage and report on them from Gemini.

How much does PaidSync cost for Snapchat Ads?

Free for 15 tasks with no credit card. Pro is from $99 a month for 600 tasks, Team is from $249 a month for 5 seats and 6,000 tasks, and Done For You is custom.

Does the same PaidSync connection work in other assistants?

Yes. PaidSync is one endpoint, https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp, with OAuth sign-in, and the same login works in Claude, Claude Code, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Microsoft Copilot through Copilot Studio, Cursor and Windsurf. Set up PaidSync once and use it from any of them.

How to connect Snapchat Ads to Gemini with PaidSync

PaidSync joins Gemini as a custom app, or through Gemini CLI, Antigravity or Gemini Enterprise. No API key is needed, because Gemini connects with a PaidSync sign-in (OAuth).

Before you start

Pick your Gemini surface in step 1. The Gemini app takes PaidSync as a custom app on a personal Google Account (18 or older, in the US, in English, with Keep Activity on). Gemini CLI, Antigravity and Gemini Enterprise cover work accounts and terminals.
Signing in with Google? There is no separate sign-up. You pick Continue with Google in step 2, and your free PaidSync account (15 tasks, no credit card) is created when you press Approve.
Prefer an email and password? Create the account at paidsync.ai/signup beforehand. The sign-up link inside the sign-in window opens the website and does not bring you back to Gemini.
Know which Snapchat login can open your ad accounts at business.snapchat.com. You use it in step 3.

Add PaidSync to Gemini

Gemini app, personal account. Open gemini.google.com, go to Settings, then Connected Apps (if you do not see it, open Personal Intelligence first), and under Custom apps choose Add a custom app. Paste the PaidSync server URL and click Next. PaidSync registers itself, so there is no API key to copy and nothing to fill in under Advanced features.

https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp

Add it on the web once and it works in the Gemini mobile app too. Google limits custom apps to personal Google accounts, age 18 and over, in the US, in English, with Keep Activity turned on. A work or school account cannot add them, so use Gemini Enterprise below instead.

Gemini CLI. Run the command, then type /mcp auth paidsync and sign in with your PaidSync login. Google replaced Gemini CLI with Antigravity CLI for unpaid-tier and Google One users on 18 June 2026, so those accounts use Antigravity below.

gemini mcp add --transport http paidsync https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp

Gemini Code Assist agent mode in VS Code reads the same settings file as Gemini CLI. Add this to ~/.gemini/settings.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paidsync": { "httpUrl": "https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp" }
  }
}

Antigravity uses a different key. Open the agent panel menu, choose MCP Servers, then Manage MCP Servers and View raw config, or edit ~/.gemini/config/mcp_config.json, and add the server with serverUrl. Antigravity signs in by dynamic client registration on its own:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "paidsync": { "serverUrl": "https://mcp.paidsync.ai/mcp" }
  }
}

Gemini Enterprise, Business edition. A team admin adds PaidSync under Settings and help, then Manage team, then Connected apps, then Add MCP Server. PaidSync serves the Streamable HTTP transport Gemini requires and OAuth 2.0 at https://api.paidsync.ai/authorize and https://api.paidsync.ai/token. Email support@paidsync.ai for the client credentials that form asks for.

Sign in to PaidSync and press Approve

The PaidSync sign-in screen opens. Pick Continue with Google, or sign in with your PaidSync email and password. A PaidSync screen then asks whether to allow Gemini to manage your ad accounts via PaidSync. Press Approve and PaidSync is connected.

New to PaidSync and signing in with Google? Your free account (15 tasks, no credit card) is created when you press Approve. The screen also mentions ad accounts already connected inside PaidSync. On a new account that list is empty until you finish step 3.

Connect your Snapchat Ads account and ask Gemini

In any chat, ask: "Connect my Snapchat Ads." Gemini replies with a link that opens Snapchat's own sign-in and consent screen. Log in with the Snapchat account that can open your ad accounts at business.snapchat.com, and allow access. PaidSync never sees your Snapchat password.

Come back and ask: "List my Snapchat ad accounts." Gemini uses list_snapchat_accounts to show every ad account your login can open, across organizations, and set_active_snapchat_account to pick the one you name. Connecting accounts and picking one uses none of your tasks. Then try: "Show me my Snapchat campaigns and their status." You can also connect Snapchat Ads from the PaidSync workspace instead. Both routes use the same PaidSync login, so Gemini sees the account either way.

What PaidSync can and cannot do on Snapchat Ads

PaidSync has 15 Snapchat Ads tools. They cover sign-in and account picking, reading, and managing campaigns that already run.

What PaidSync can do

Read your accounts. Organizations, ad accounts, campaigns, ad squads and ads, across every Snapchat login you connect.
Report on campaigns. Impressions, swipes, spend, video views and purchases for a campaign, as a total, by day or by hour, for the dates you pick.
Pause and enable campaigns. Each one reverses the other.
Change campaign budgets and settings. Daily budget or lifetime spend cap, name, status, start date and end date.
Change ad squads. Status, bid, daily or lifetime budget and name.

What PaidSync cannot do

Create anything new. New campaigns, ad squads and ads are built in Snapchat Ads Manager.
Handle creative. No image or video uploads and no creative edits.
Change targeting. Audiences and targeting stay in Snapchat Ads Manager.
Report below campaign level. Performance comes per campaign, not per ad squad or ad.

Budget, bid and setting changes preview as a dry run by default, and PaidSync reads each change back from Snapchat after it applies. In the PaidSync workspace, by default, every change is an approval card.

Snapchat Ads prompts to try in Gemini

Each prompt runs on the PaidSync tools named after it and uses one or more of your tasks. Budget, bid and setting changes preview as a dry run by default.

"List my Snapchat campaigns with their status and objective." Runs list_snapchat_campaigns, which returns each campaign's ID, name, status and objective.
"Show spend, impressions, swipes and purchases for the Spring Sale campaign over the last 7 days, day by day." Runs list_snapchat_campaigns to find the campaign, then get_snapchat_performance by day.
"Pause the Summer Promo campaign on Snapchat." Runs pause_snapchat_campaign. enable_snapchat_campaign turns it back on.
"Preview raising the daily budget on the Retargeting campaign to 80 in my account currency. Do not apply it yet." Runs update_snapchat_campaign_budget, which previews by default.
"List the ad squads in the Retargeting campaign, then preview pausing Broad 18-24 and lowering the bid on Lookalike 1% to 1.20." Runs list_snapchat_adsquads, then update_snapchat_adsquad, which previews by default.

Why use PaidSync for Snapchat Ads in Gemini

It changes what already runs. Snap's own Snapchat Ads MCP Server is read-only in its current release, and Snap says write access is planned for a future release (checked 30 Sep 2026). PaidSync's 15 Snapchat tools already pause and enable campaigns and change budgets, bids and settings on existing campaigns and ad squads.

Every change is checked. Update tools preview by default. After a change applies, PaidSync reads the campaign or ad squad back from Snapchat and reports any campaign budget, status, name or ad squad bid that did not land.

One connection, 14 platforms. Snapchat rarely runs alone. The same PaidSync sign-in covers 630+ tools across 14 platforms, including Google Ads, Meta, TikTok and LinkedIn, so Gemini can put Snapchat next to Meta or TikTok in one chat.

Snap's own sign-in. PaidSync connects through Snap's OAuth screen with the Marketing API scope, so it never sees your Snapchat password. PaidSync is a Google Partner, a TikTok API Platform Partner and runs a Meta-approved app.

Other ways to connect Snapchat Ads to Gemini

Each line below comes from the provider's own page, checked on 30 Sep 2026.

Snap's official MCP server. Snap's Snapchat Ads MCP Server, launched on 3 August 2026, connects Gemini to Snapchat Ads data and is read-only in its current release (checked 30 Sep 2026).
Zapier. Zapier's Snapchat Conversions app sends conversion events and leads to Snap, and its Snapchat Lead Generation app triggers on new leads (checked 30 Sep 2026).
n8n. n8n's HTTP Request node queries any app or service with a REST API, with a generic OAuth2 credential among its sign-in options (checked 30 Sep 2026).
Build your own. Snap's Marketing API docs say an Organization Admin sets up the OAuth app in Snap's business dashboard and access tokens last 60 minutes, so a self-built server handles token refresh and hosting (checked 30 Sep 2026).
