Connecting ChatGPT Ads
Connect your in-ChatGPT ad accounts with an OpenAI Ads API key; campaign list, performance report, budget and status changes from chat.
Before you start
ChatGPT Ads currently works with an Ads API key rather than OAuth; the key is generated in OpenAI's ads panel and covers one ad account. With several accounts you add one key per account. The key is entered only in the panel and stored encrypted; it is never written to the assistant or the chat.
- An account with access to OpenAI's ads panel and an Ads API key generated there.
- The account should have passed OpenAI's review;
list_openai_ads_accountsshows the review status after connecting.
Connection
- Create an Ads API key for your account in OpenAI's ads panel.
- Connections › ChatGPT Ads › Connect and paste the key.
- Verify the account name, currency and review status with
list_openai_ads_accounts.

Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| The key could not be verified | The key was copied incompletely or has been revoked | Generate a new key in OpenAI's panel and paste it in full. |
| A second ad account does not show up | Each key covers only one account | Add a separate key for the other account; pass ad_account_id to the tools. |
