Short answer

How can I track my Pinterest shopping ads with AI?

You can ask your agent to pull specific campaign metrics or check if your product catalog is syncing correctly. It uses your connected account to fetch real-time data on ad groups and individual ads. You'll see the performance details and sync status right in your chat.

Where your data lands.

The results of your queries.

Your AI processes your requests and delivers these specific outcomes.

METRICS

Campaign performance

The AI pulls data from your active campaigns. You get direct answers on how your ads are performing.

CATALOG

Sync status checks

The AI checks the connection between your products and Pinterest. You'll know if your catalog is up to date.

STRUCTURE

Get a list of your existing ad groups. This helps you see your account organization without opening the dashboard.

HUMAN

Manual management

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI acts as a bridge between your chat interface and the Pinterest Ads API.

  1. Locate targets

    The AI scans your account to find the specific ad groups you're asking about.

  2. Retrieve analytics

    Once it finds the right groups, the AI pulls the performance metrics you requested.

  3. Check ad status

    The AI looks at individual ads to confirm they are active and running.

    list_ads

  4. Summarize data

    No. The available tools are limited to listing and retrieving analytics. You cannot create or edit ads through the AI.

  • 03

    No. The connection only grants access to the advertising and catalog data required for the tools to function.

  • 04

    How often is the data updated?

    The AI pulls the most recent data available from the Pinterest API at the moment you ask.

  • 05
