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 complete the following prerequisites before you enable Auto-start:
  • 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:
  1. 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.
  2. Select Go live or enable Auto-start to open the Go live or Auto-start confirmation dialog.
  3. Select Auto-start and select 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:
  1. 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.
