Perplexity

Batch Update Keywords via Script

Write a shell script that processes a CSV of keywords. You can pipe the data into an action calling `ads_add_keywords`, sending it as a JSON array string. This lets you batch-upload hundreds of new terms across various match types and bids. It's perfect for nightly CI/CD jobs where you need to ensure keyword coverage is always maintained.

Automated Campaign Monitoring

Set up a cron job that runs `ads_get_cpc_metrics` every hour. This retrieves near real-time spend, impression, and click metrics for all campaigns, piping the output straight into an alerting system. Need to check if anything is out of bounds? You can combine this with `ads_list_campaigns` to process only relevant groups.

Lifecycle Control in Terminal

Scripting ad control is simple. If a campaign exceeds its budget, your script calls `ads_pause_campaign`. Conversely, if performance looks good, it runs `ads_update_daily_budget` to increase spending limits. This provides full operational control over the Walmart Connect Ads environment from a headless shell.
