FEATURES · AD RULES

It proposes, you decide.

A rule watches your campaigns on a schedule and queues what it would do: pause this, it spent $400 without a sale. Nothing reaches your ad account until you approve it.

Pause “Spring Drop”?

A rule suggests it. Nothing changes until you approve.

It proposes, you decide

A rule never touches your ad account. It puts what it would do in a queue, and it happens only when you approve it.

Nothing reaches your ad account until you approve it. A suggestion expires after 7 days, and a rule raises at most 10 a day unless you set another limit.

The numbers, and the guard rails.

  • The numbers it watches

    Spend, purchases, conversion value, cost per purchase, ROAS, click-through and CPM, plus frequency and reach on Meta. Counted by the platform, by Aplon’s pixel, or by Shopify, as you choose.

  • Guard rails

    Ten suggestions a rule a day, unless you set another limit. A rule that matches half or more of what it could judge, once that is four or more, suggests nothing and says why. Missing data never sets one off.
