/digital-marketing-pro:launch-ad-campaign

Script location. If your host does not set ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}, the scripts are in this plugin's scripts/ folder, next to skills/. Run them with Python 3.10 or newer: python, or python3 where python is not found (macOS, many Linux systems).

Purpose

Create and launch a paid advertising campaign on the specified ad platform with proper campaign structure, audience targeting, bid strategy, budget controls, and compliance checks. Includes mandatory budget safeguards that require explicit re-confirmation when spend exceeds brand thresholds, and sets up post-launch monitoring to catch early performance issues before budget is wasted on underperforming configurations.

Execution gate (MANDATORY — cannot be skipped)

Present the full preview — recipients / spend / changes / compliance — as an Execution Summary before touching any live system.
The user must type yes (or an equivalent explicit approval). ANY other input — ambiguous, implied, partial, or absent approval — cancels the run.
Never proceed on ambiguous input. Never auto-retry a failed execution; a failure needs human review before any re-run.
Only after the user types yes, record it: python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/approval-manager.py" --brand {slug} --action create-approval --data '{"type":"launch-ad","platform":"<platform>","content_summary":"<one line from the Execution Summary>","risk_level":"<tier>"}', then python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/approval-manager.py" --brand {slug} --action approve --id {approval_id}. If either command errors, stop and report the error; never work around it with another tool. The record proves the approval step ran for this action; it cannot prove who typed yes.
Execute. A write sent through connector_executor.py needs --approval-id and fires only against a matching, unused, unexpired record (see /digital-marketing-pro:execute-action). A write through a connected MCP server tool is outside that code check: it relies on this typed yes and on your host's permission prompt. Afterwards run python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/approval-manager.py" --brand {slug} --action mark-executed --id {approval_id} --data '{"execution_result":"success"}' (or failure).

Executing through the official ad-platform MCP servers (checked 2026-10-04)

The platforms now publish their own MCP servers (catalog: .mcp.json.connectors-reference; details and sources: CONNECTORS.md → "Official ad-platform and CRM MCP servers"). None is active by default. They change how step 12 runs, never whether the gate above runs.
