Sampled — shipped under file-level sampling, not individually fact-checkedcommunity attestations: 0✓ / 0✗
Steps
POST to /open_api/v1.3/optimizer/rule/create/ with the rule's scope (campaign/ad group/ad level), conditions (e.g. spend, ROAS, CPA thresholds), and the action to take (pause, budget/bid adjustment, notification).
Use /open_api/v1.3/optimizer/rule/batch_bind/ to attach the created rule to specific campaign, ad group, or ad IDs.
List existing rules with /open_api/v1.3/optimizer/rule/list/ or fetch one by ID via /open_api/v1.3/optimizer/rule/get/.
Update rule conditions or actions with /open_api/v1.3/optimizer/rule/update/ as performance thresholds change.
Pull execution history via /open_api/v1.3/optimizer/rule/result/list/ (or /result/get/ for a single result) to audit what actions fired and when.
Known gotchas
Automated rules evaluate on TikTok's own schedule, not in real time — expect a delay between a metric crossing a threshold and the rule's action actually firing.
Binding a rule to an entity doesn't retroactively apply to historical data; only forward-looking evaluations trigger actions.
Conflicting rules bound to the same entity (e.g. one pausing, one raising budget) can produce unpredictable ordering — avoid overlapping scopes for the same metric.
