Start with this prompt

Replace the bracketed details, then paste it into your connected assistant. This page does not run tools or change an advertising account.

A first prompt to try

In workspace [name], inspect Meta ad set [name]. Show configured geography, age, placements and optimization settings, then compare available aggregate delivery breakdowns for [period]. Label configuration separately from observed delivery. Identify discrepancies worth investigating and explain unavailable breakdowns. Do not change targeting.

Your assistant checks account access and asks for missing details before proceeding.

How the workflow works

01
Read configured targeting
Inspect the owned ad set, including schedule, geography, optimization and placement settings.
02
Read observed delivery
Retrieve supported aggregate breakdowns for the same reporting period and account.
03
Explain differences
Separate configured eligibility from the audience actually reached. State reporting limitations and propose a next investigation.

Understand the boundaries

What to check before acting

Configured targeting is not proof of actual audience delivery. Some breakdowns are unavailable or incompatible; individual audience members are never part of this report.

Common questions

Does this page run the workflow for me?

No. This is a workflow guide and starter prompt. Connect your account through PlugMind, authorize your AI assistant, then use the prompt in that assistant. Access and available data are checked there.

Will the workflow change my advertising account?

The starter prompt asks for a review or recommendations. Applying a recommendation is a separate write action requiring your explicit approval of the exact change.

What if the report is missing data?

Ask the assistant to identify the missing field, date range, or permission. Do not substitute an invented metric or treat unavailable data as zero. Resolve the missing evidence before making a decision.
