1 Automated Rules At Facebook, we care about delivering real business results. We also want to ensure that your experience with us continues to improve and we know that monitoring hundreds, if not thousands, of ad objects can be overwhelming, as this requires manual work that takes lots of your energy. Available in Ads Manager and Power Editor, Automated Rules makes it easier to stay up to date on campaign performance. It provides you with an easier way to monitor performance of your ads, ad sets and ad campaigns. Once preset rules are triggered, Automated Rules will turn off the underperforming ads, ad sets or ad campaigns that you specified. That way, you can reduce the time spent on monitoring and focus on more impactful work. What is a rule and how does it work? A rule is composed of one or multiple conditions.

2 Once all the specified conditions in a rule are met, the rule will be triggered. You will receive a notification and the specified ads, ad sets or ad campaigns will be turned off. Create your first rule 1. In either Ads Manager or Power Editor, select one or multiple desired ads, ad sets, or ad campaigns and go to the dropdown menu.

Each rule can be applied to up to 20 ads, ad sets, or ad campaigns (on the same level). 3. Rule conditions are calculated based on 24-hour average of each metric used. 4.
