Connecting Google Ads to Claude or ChatGPT, and launching a campaign

Once AdWhispr is connected to your assistant, it can read public ad data. Connecting your own Google Ads account is the separate step that lets it act: launch campaigns, read performance, change budgets, pause what is not working.

Do this only for an account you are happy to have an assistant operate.

Step 1: Start the connection

Ask your assistant:

Connect my Google Ads account.

That runs connect_ad_account, which returns an authorization link.

Step 2: Approve access in Google

Open the link and sign in with the Google account that has access to your ads. Approve the permissions.

This is standard OAuth. AdWhispr receives scoped access to the ad account, and never your Google password.

Step 3: Confirm which accounts are available

Ask:

Which ad accounts can I launch into?

That runs list_ad_accounts and shows every account the connection can reach. If you manage several accounts under one login, this is where you confirm you are pointing at the right one.

Step 4: Do the research before the launch

This is the step most people skip, and it is the one that decides whether the campaign works:

What keywords is [competitor] bidding on for their main product? Pick the five that fit my brand best and show me the search volumes.

Only then launch:

Launch a Search campaign on those keywords at $40 a day.

Check the budget, the geography and the keywords on what it built before you approve it.

What you can run

  • Google Search campaigns, generally available.
  • Performance Max campaigns, generally available.
  • Budget changes, pausing and resuming, and account performance reads.

TikTok is also generally available with a full video-ad builder. Meta is generally available too, so all three platforms can be launched from chat.

FAQ

Can it spend money without me approving it?

You set the daily budget in the instruction, and the campaign runs on that budget. Nothing launches without you asking for it, and you see the assembled campaign before it goes live.

What permissions does it need?

Scoped access to the Google Ads account you authorize. It does not get your Google password, and it cannot reach other Google services.

Can I disconnect later?

Yes. You can revoke access from your Google account's connected-apps settings at any time, which immediately stops any further campaign actions.

Can I change the budget after it launches?

Yes. Budgets are set and changed from chat, so you can raise a campaign that is working, cut one that is not, or pause it entirely without opening Google Ads.

My campaign launched but is not spending

That is usually bids, not budget. Ask the assistant to check account performance for that campaign and it will surface keyword-level diagnostics such as first-page bid estimates and low quality scores, along with what to change.
