[Documentation](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs) / [Sources](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs/sources) / [ChatGPT Ads](https://www.getmcpads.com/docs/sources/chatgpt-ads)

Preview and confirm the native ChatGPT Ads pause campaign contract. Saved approval, stable requestId and exact native state are required. Creates are always paused; activation is separately gated. No automatic write retry. Budgets and bids use integer account-currency micros. Use openai_ads_get_write_schema for nested fields and native eligibility.

> **Note** Connect with the Ads Management API key from Ads Manager Settings, then select the verified advertising account. Native account permissions and feature eligibility apply.

> **Warning** This tool changes the account. It is absent from the tool list on the Free plan, and it previews by default: without `confirm: true` it describes the change and applies nothing.
