Go live automatically with Auto-start
Note: The current version of Auto-start for Creative Testing campaigns is a beta release. The features and documentation might change between now and the next release.
Auto-start enables your Creative Testing campaign to go live automatically when all its assigned creative packs receive moderation approval. Use the following instructions to set up Auto-start for your campaign:
Prerequisites
Ensure that you’ve completed the following prerequisites before enabling Auto-start:
| Prerequisite | Description |
|---|---|
| Creative packs | To enable Auto-start, you need at least two creative packs assigned to your campaign. |
| No rejected creatives | If the moderation team rejects any of the creatives assigned to your campaign, Auto-start disables automatically. |
| Creative Testing campaign prerequisites | Refer to Configure required Creative Testing campaign details for more information. |
Note: If you use regular Campaign scheduling to assign a specific start date while also using Auto-start, your campaign will wait for both creative moderation and your scheduled date before launching.
Enable Auto-start
To enable your campaign to launch automatically when creative moderation completes, do the following in the Unity Ads User Acquisition dashboard:
- From the Campaigns page, ensure that you’ve finished the prerequisites for starting a Creative Testing campaign. The dashboard will display All tasks completed! You’re ready to go live when you've finished all prerequisites.
- Select Go live or enable Auto-start to open the Go live or Auto-start confirmation dialog.
- Select Auto-start and click Confirm to enable the feature.
Cancel Auto-start
To cancel Auto-start from automatically launching your campaign, do the following in the User Acquisition dashboard:
- From the Campaigns page, select Cancel Auto-start.
Note: If you remove creative packs so you no longer have two assigned to your campaign, Auto-start disables automatically. To enable Auto-start again, add additional creative packs.
