What are Automatic Rules and how to use them to make life easier?

Rule-based optimization allows you to make dynamic campaigns that adjust and optimize according to the rules you set. This allows you to spend less time optimizing while still ensuring the same performance and profits. 

**Please note, this feature is only available for those tracking conversions.**

You can create and edit your custom rules from the Create Page. The rules are broken down into flexible IF-THEN statements. For some rules to get you started, check out our Winning Rules.

Be careful, Automatic rules can help a lot if they are set up properly but can easily harm your campaigns too if they are not. It is very easy to accidentally pause all your feeds so if it is your first time, we recommend starting with a duplicate test campaign.

For example:

IF a supply has more than $10 spent &  the CTR is lower than %1  Within 24h  THEN  pause supply Every 4h.

Our algorithm will then look, every four hours,  at all the sources matching both of the if conditions (supply has more than $10 spent and a CTR lower than 10%) within the last 24 hours,  then it would go and pause of all of the feed matchings that criteria.
