Automation Management and Details

After creating an automation, you can access the Details page by clicking its name in the list. Here you can track its operation, check logs, and make modifications.

The Overview Page​

On the left panel, you can immediately see the most important "vital signs" of the automation:

  • Status: You can pause (Inactive) or start (Active) the automation at any time using the status toggle.
  • AI Indicators: Green icons show when AI Policy Check and AI Content Check are active.
  • Quick Budget Edit: You don't need to open the full editor just to increase or decrease the budget. Click the pencil icon to do it immediately.
  • Connected Automations: If you've assigned an "Ad Scale" or "Ad Stop" automation to an "Ad Creation" automation, they are listed here and you can jump to them with a click.

Activity Log (What Has Happened So Far?)​

The right panel shows a chronological log of when the system made which decisions. You'll see the action taken (e.g., "New ad created"), a post preview, and - for AI-generated creatives - a Created with AI badge. Click any entry to open its Activity details and find out exactly why the automation acted.

When an Ad Stop automation stops a whole ad set at once, it appears as a single log entry that covers several ads at the same time.

Activity Details - Why Did This Happen?​

Clicking an entry in the activity log opens the Activity details window, which explains in one place what the automation did and why:

  • Automation: the name of the automation that performed the action, with a link to open it.
  • Affected ads: the ad - or ads - the action created or stopped. An Ad Stop automation working at ad-set level can act on several ads at once, so more than one may be listed here. Click any of them to open its Ad details.
  • Triggering conditions: a snapshot of the filter conditions exactly as the automation measured them at the moment it acted.

Reading the conditions​

Each condition shows its measured value next to the requirement you set, and is marked as met (green check) or not met (faded, red mark). Conditions appear grouped exactly as you configured them, joined by AND / OR logic - so in an OR group it's immediately clear which condition tipped the decision.

info

The values are a snapshot captured when the activity ran, so they reflect the situation at that moment - not the ad's current numbers.

Ad Details​

The Ad details window gives you a complete, read-only picture of a single ad without leaving Infinite∞Ad.

Details​

  • Status and creation date — whether the ad is currently Active, Paused or Deleted, and when it was created.
  • Ad text — the full copy. AI-generated creatives are flagged as an AI-generated variant together with their version number.
  • Automation — the rule that created the ad, along with its brand, campaign objective, placements and budget (daily or total, at campaign or ad-set level), a View Ad in Meta Ads Manager link, and a link to the automation.
  • Source post — the post the ad was built from, with its platform and publish date and a link to open the post.

Performance​

Key metrics for the ad - Spend, Impressions, Reach, Clicks, CTR, ROAS and, for video creatives, Video views. Use the period selector to switch between lifetime and shorter time windows.

Preview​

A live preview of the ad creative. Use the Display placement selector to see how it renders in different placements (for example desktop feed or mobile feed).

Editing and Duplicating​

You can modify rules using the buttons in the top menu bar.

What CAN be edited while running? You can modify filters (conditions), budget, target audience, ad placements, and notification settings. Changes take effect immediately at the next run. (Important: changes do not retroactively modify already-running ads, they only apply to future launches!)

What CANNOT be edited?

  • The Campaign Objective cannot be changed, as Meta doesn't allow this for already-created campaigns.
  • The Brand, Ad Account and Special Ad Categories also cannot be modified.
  • For Ad Stop automations, the Stop level (Ad / Ad set) is fixed once the automation is created.

Duplicating: If you want to use similar logic (e.g., the same ROAS rules for a different account or campaign), use the Duplicate button. The copy can be freely edited without restrictions before the first launch.

Edit History​

On the Edit History tab, the system logs who from your team, when, and exactly what changed in the automation's settings (e.g., increased the budget, or modified a filter). The original and new values are visible side by side.
