It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each meta ads account.

The problem it solves

A Meta Ads campaign pausing because the account ran out of balance is the kind of thing you find out about too late, usually when a client asks why their ads stopped running. Checking every account's balance by hand every day isn't realistic once you're managing more than a couple of clients.

Who it fits

Agencies or marketers managing Meta Ads budgets for multiple accounts or clients.

How it works

  1. On a daily schedule, the system checks the balance of each Meta Ads account
  2. It compares the current balance against the minimum threshold you've set
  3. If a balance is too low, it sends an alert by WhatsApp or email, tailored to the payment type
  4. The Google Sheet is updated with the latest balance, check date, and status
  5. You catch low-balance accounts before campaigns get paused
What you get

Ad accounts that never go dark mid-campaign

You get a heads-up before any ad account runs dry, so your campaigns keep running without unexpected pauses.

What you get

A low-balance alert sent by WhatsApp or email, and an updated Google Sheets log of every account's status.

What you need

A Meta Ads account with API access, a Google account with Sheets access, and a WhatsApp or Gmail account for alerts.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
