Campaigns

Spotify Ads API — Campaign Management

Manage campaigns via the Spotify Ads API. Read settings from the active platform settings file for credentials and configuration.

Setup

Set the plugin root and define the request wrapper:

PLUGIN_ROOT="${CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT:-${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-.}}"
api() { "$PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/api-request.sh" campaigns "$@"; }

Before the first Ads API v3 call, read and follow $PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/api-reference/references/live-openapi.md.

To retrieve settings values (TOKEN, AD_ACCOUNT_ID, AUTO_EXECUTE, BASE_URL, SDK_HEADER, SKILL_HEADER, PLUGIN_VERSION) for use outside API calls, run api --env. The output is eval-safe, so eval $(api --env) assigns them all.

Operations

Parse the user's argument to determine the operation:

list (default if no argument)

List campaigns for the configured ad account.

api GET "ad_accounts/{ad_account_id}/campaigns?limit=50&sort_direction=DESC"

Format the output as a table: ID | Name | Status | Objective / Delivery Goal Group | Created

create

Prompt the user for a name and campaign goal. Map the goal to delivery_goal_group using the mapping in the drafts skill.

• name (string, 2-200 chars)
• delivery_goal_group (AWARENESS, WEBSITE_TRAFFIC, APP_PROMOTION, ENGAGEMENT_ON_SPOTIFY, or LEAD_GEN)

Then read and follow $PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/api-reference/references/ad-product-validation.md. Fetch the live catalog once for this operation. Validate the final campaign body against campaign.create plus campaign.both. An omitted, UNSET, or UNKNOWN ad_product resolves to AUCTION. Do not add a separate validation confirmation.

api POST "ad_accounts/{ad_account_id}/drafts/campaigns" \
  '{"name":"...","delivery_goal_group":"..."}'

Campaign creation is staged by default. Display the returned draft ID and current draft_hierarchy_version. Do not publish unless the user separately requests publishing through the drafts skill.

get <campaign_id>

Fetch a specific campaign by ID.

api GET "ad_accounts/{ad_account_id}/campaigns/$CAMPAIGN_ID"

Display all campaign fields in a readable format.

update <campaign_id>

Prompt the user for fields to update (at least 1 required):

• name (string, optional)
• status (ACTIVE, PAUSED, ARCHIVED, optional)

Before the PATCH, read and follow $PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/api-reference/references/ad-product-validation.md. Fetch the live catalog and current campaign once for this operation, deep-merge the proposed changes, and validate the effective campaign against campaign.update plus campaign.both. This applies to status-only updates too. Do not add a separate validation confirmation.

api GET "ad_accounts/{ad_account_id}/campaigns/$CAMPAIGN_ID"
api GET "ad_accounts/{ad_account_id}/drafts/campaigns/$CAMPAIGN_ID"

If the draft GET returns 404, create a draft from the published campaign:

api POST "ad_accounts/{ad_account_id}/campaigns/$CAMPAIGN_ID/drafts"

If a draft already exists, display its current pending fields before combining the requested change. Then update the draft, not the published campaign:

api PATCH "ad_accounts/{ad_account_id}/drafts/campaigns/$CAMPAIGN_ID" \
  '{"name":"...","status":"..."}'

Fetch the draft campaign again for the current version, validate it, and report the result as staged:

api GET "ad_accounts/{ad_account_id}/drafts/campaigns/$CAMPAIGN_ID"
api POST "ad_accounts/{ad_account_id}/drafts/campaigns/$CAMPAIGN_ID" \
  '{"action":"VALIDATE","draft_hierarchy_version":<version>}'

Do not publish unless the user separately asks to publish and confirms immediately before the PUBLISH request.

create-live and update-live <campaign_id>

Use the published POST /campaigns or PATCH /campaigns/{id} endpoint only when the user explicitly asks to skip drafts or make an immediate/direct change to the published entity. Explain that direct writes may not be available for every account or credential.

If a direct write returns HTTP 403 or an edit-permission error, do not retry it and do not conclude that the credentials are entirely read-only. State that direct editing of the published campaign was denied and offer the draft workflow instead.

Execution Behavior

• If auto_execute is true, execute the curl command directly.
• If auto_execute is false, present the curl command to the user and ask for confirmation before executing.
• Always display the API response in a readable format.
• Always check the HTTP_STATUS: line from curl output to determine success or failure before interpreting the response body.
• On error (non-2xx response), show the error message from the response body. Never automatically retry POST or PATCH requests — they may have succeeded server-side despite an error response.
• Treat a 404 from the draft existence check as "no draft exists"; it is the only signal to call the create-from-published endpoint. Other errors must be shown and the workflow stopped.
