How do I enable a paused Google Ads campaign?
Short answer: You can enable google ads campaign in Google Ads by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Google Ads Enable Google Ads Campaign action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

FAQ
Questions about Enable Google Ads Campaign.
What does the Enable Google Ads Campaign action do in Google Ads?
Reactivates a paused campaign. For "scheduled campaign reactivation" workflows (e.g., back-to-school campaign auto-enables on Aug 1) or for response to performance signals.
What inputs does Enable Google Ads Campaign require?
Required: Customer ID, Campaign ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Google Ads returns an error?
The run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Google Ads returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.
Does Enable Google Ads Campaign support batch operations?
Run Enable Google Ads Campaign inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Google Ads's rate limits.
