# create_openai_ads_campaign

Build a campaign on the connected ChatGPT Ads account — the ads that appear below ChatGPT answers. ALWAYS created PAUSED at every level, with no override: it spends NOTHING until you activate it with set_openai_ads_status(confirm:true). The object graph is campaign -> ad group -> ad, and a campaign ON ITS OWN CANNOT SERVE AN IMPRESSION, so pass adGroup{name, maxBid, contextHints, ad{creative}} and this builds the whole tree. THE CREATIVE IS A TEXT + IMAGE CARD AND NOTHING ELSE — title 3–50 characters, body 100 maximum, one landing page, one still image. THERE IS NO VIDEO ON THIS CHANNEL: never offer a video ad here, and if the brand only has video, pull a frame from it first. TARGETING IS SEMANTIC: context hints are natural-language descriptions of the conversations where this ad belongs (up to 2,000 per ad group). Geo (countries / locationIds) and PLATFORMS (which of the iOS app, Android app and web the ad runs on) are the only other dimensions — leave platforms out to run on all three. They guide matching, they are NOT exact-match keywords, and they do not guarantee delivery. OpenAI’s own guidance is BREADTH — many genuinely distinct hints and many distinct title/body angles beat one message repeated — which is exactly what plan_variations and mine_angles produce. OpenAI has no atomic multi-object write available here, so the whole tree is VALIDATED before the first write; if a level below the campaign is still rejected, the campaign is left PAUSED (spending nothing) and the note says exactly what exists — nothing is archived behind your back, because archiving is irreversible. Everything is READ BACK from OpenAI before you are told it exists: print the returned note verbatim, and if it says the campaign cannot serve yet, say that rather than calling it a finished ad.
