Perplexity

Add Keywords to Campaigns

Need to adjust keywords? You can add new terms to a Sponsored Search ad group instantly. Just send the JSON array listing the keyword, its match type (broad, phrase, or exact), and your bid amount using `ads_add_keywords`. This is essential for controlling what triggers your ads. Claude Desktop handles the payload and sends it directly to the necessary Walmart Connect Ads endpoint.

Track Performance Metrics

See how your campaigns are running without waiting hours. The `ads_get_cpc_metrics` tool retrieves near real-time data—spend, impressions, and clicks—for active campaigns. You can even narrow the results by specifying a campaign ID. This helps you spot trends fast so you don't waste money on underperforming ads.

Generate Performance Reports

The `ads_get_item_health_report` tool gives you a full snapshot of your account. You can request reports broken down by category, brand, or even specific report types like video keywords. Just provide the type and an optional date to nail down what you need. This deep dive lets you check everything from ad group performance to general item health.
