Progress stages: validate → commit. ⚠️ CRITICAL WARNING ⚠️ - Call this tool ONLY ONCE per campaign - Creates REAL campaigns that cost REAL money - Do NOT retry automatically if errors occur - Report errors to user instead of retrying ⚠️ CRITICAL PREREQUISITE: - MUST validate the YouTube video first using validate_video tool - Video must be public or unlisted on YouTube (NOT private) 🎬 **YouTube Campaign Placements:** ✅ YouTube In-Feed (appears in search results & related videos) ✅ YouTube In-Stream (plays before/during/after videos) ✅ YouTube Shorts (appears in Shorts feed) ❌ Gmail (disabled for YouTube campaigns) ❌ Discover (disabled for YouTube campaigns) ❌ Display (disabled for YouTube campaigns) 📋 **YOUR CRITICAL ROLE: Campaign Strategist & Text Creator** **STEP 1: Validate Video First** Before calling this tool: 1. Get user's YouTube video URL or ID 2. Call validate_video tool with platform="pmax" to verify it 3. Confirm video is accessible (public or unlisted) 🔴 **STEP 1.5: MANDATORY — Discover Existing Assets** BEFORE proceeding, you MUST call discover_existing_assets to check for existing image/logo assets: 1. Call: discover_existing_assets(asset_types=["image", "logo"], target_domain="<user's domain>") 2. Present findings to the user: - Show all available logos and images with dimensions - Show count of assets found per type 3. Ask the user: "I found [N] existing assets in your account. Would you like to: A) Reuse an existing logo (saves time, consistent branding) B) Upload a new logo image C) Upload a new logo from URL" 4. Based on answer: - Reuse → Use logo_asset_id from discovered assets - Upload new → Use validate_and_prepare_assets with logos_square → asset_bundle_id 5. 🚫 NEVER skip this step — even if the user didn't mention assets **STEP 2: Collect Campaign Details from User** YOU MUST collect these from the user (ask if not provided): **REQUIRED Fields:** 1. **Campaign Name** - Descriptive and unique 2. **Daily Budget** - Minimum $15/day (recommended $50+) 3. **YouTube Video ID** - 11-character video ID (validated in Step 1) 4. **Final URL** - Landing page (must match verified domain) 5. **Business Name** - Max 25 characters **STEP 3: Generate High-Quality Ad Copy** **🚨 BEFORE GENERATING TEXT - READ CHARACTER LIMITS 🚨** **Headlines (1-5 required):** - **STRICT LIMIT: 40 characters maximum per headline** - Count characters BEFORE calling this tool! - Examples: - "Shop Premium Watches Today" (26 chars) ✅ - "Free Worldwide Shipping Now" (27 chars) ✅ **Descriptions (1-5 required):** - **STRICT LIMIT: 90 characters maximum per description** - Count characters BEFORE calling this tool! - Examples: - "Shop authentic luxury timepieces with expert curation and free worldwide shipping." (82 chars) ✅ **Long Headlines (optional, 1-5):** - **STRICT LIMIT: 90 characters maximum per long headline** - Falls back to regular headlines if not provided **⚠️ WILL BE REJECTED IF YOU EXCEED LIMITS - NO RETRIES!** **LOGO (REQUIRED - one of two options):** - **Option A** (existing logo): logo_asset_id from discover_existing_assets — use this if the account already has logo images - **Option B** (new upload): asset_bundle_id from validate_and_prepare_assets — use this if the account has NO existing logos (e.g., Search-only accounts) **Workflow:** 1. First try discover_existing_assets to find existing logos 2. If logos found → use logo_asset_id 3. If NO logos found → ask user for a logo image URL, run validate_and_prepare_assets with logos_square, then use the returned asset_bundle_id **OPTIONAL Fields (use defaults if not provided):** - call_to_action: Default "LEARN_MORE". Options: SHOP_NOW, SIGN_UP, SUBSCRIBE, DOWNLOAD, BOOK_NOW, CONTACT_US, GET_QUOTE, APPLY_NOW, WATCH_NOW, ORDER_NOW, BUY_NOW, SEE_MORE, START_NOW, VISIT_SITE, REGISTER - target_locations: Defaults to ["United States"] - target_languages: Defaults to ["en"] - additional_video_ids: Up to 4 more videos (5 total max) - bidding_strategy: MAXIMIZE_CLICKS (default), MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS (needs conversion tracking), TARGET_CPA - target_cpa: Required only for TARGET_CPA bidding **STEP 4: Call create_youtube_campaign** After you have ALL details: - Validate character counts yourself BEFORE calling - Call create_youtube_campaign with complete payload - Wait for response (may take 10-20 seconds) **STEP 5: Handle Response** **If SUCCESS:** - Show campaign ID, name, budget, status - Explain YouTube-only placements (In-Feed, In-Stream, Shorts) - Explain campaign starts PAUSED for safety - Provide next steps (review, activate, monitor) **If FAILURE:** - Show error message clearly - Do NOT retry automatically - Guide user to fix the issue **Example Conversation Flow:** User: "I want to run YouTube ads for my product" You: "I'd be happy to help create a YouTube video campaign! First, can you share your YouTube video URL so I can validate it?" [User provides: https://youtu.be/eIZtladpm6c] [Call validate_video with video_url_or_id="eIZtladpm6c", platform="pmax"] You: "Your video is validated and ready! Now I need a few details: 1. Campaign name? 2. Daily budget? (minimum $15, recommended $50+) 3. Landing page URL? 4. Business name? I'll create compelling headlines and descriptions for your YouTube ads." [User provides details] [Call create_youtube_campaign with all details] **Video Specifications:** - Must be on YouTube (public or unlisted, NOT private) - Minimum 10 seconds duration recommended - Maximum 5 videos per campaign (1 primary + 4 additional) - Validated via validate_video tool before campaign creation **Bidding Options:** - MAXIMIZE_CLICKS: Best for most campaigns (default, works without conversion tracking) - MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS: Best when conversion tracking is set up on the account - TARGET_CPA: Best when you know your target cost per acquisition (requires conversion tracking) **Campaign Creation Best Practices:** 1. Always validate video first with validate_video tool 2. 🔴 MANDATORY: Run discover_existing_assets to find logos/images — present results to user, ask if they want to reuse or upload new 3. If reuse → use logo_asset_id; if upload new → validate_and_prepare_assets → asset_bundle_id 4. Confirm budget with user ($15/day minimum) 5. Create compelling, benefit-focused ad copy 6. Campaign starts PAUSED - explain this to user 7. This costs real money - be transparent 8. 🔴 AFTER campaign creation: Add extensions (sitelinks, callouts, structured snippets) — see STEP 6 below **STEP 6: MANDATORY — Add Extensions After Creation** After the campaign is successfully created, you MUST: 1. Crawl the user's website to gather relevant page links, features, and service categories 2. Add sitelinks: at least 4 links to key pages (add_sitelinks tool) 3. Add callout extensions: 4-6 business highlights (add_callout_extensions tool) 4. Add structured snippets: categorized features (add_structured_snippets tool) 5. Verify with list_campaign_extensions to confirm all extensions are attached Extensions are FREE and increase ad visibility by 15-25%. NEVER skip this step. **Execution Time:** 10-20 seconds (direct backend API call) **Authentication:** Required (MCP OAuth 2.1) **CRITICAL REMINDERS:** - Campaign starts PAUSED for user safety - This costs real money - be transparent with user - Never retry on failure - report error to user - Always validate video BEFORE creating campaign
