Ad Spend Watch
Ad Spend Watch (by Miguel Cruz) watches your paid ad spend and performance and flags what is breaking before it burns budget. It works from a pasted export. It never pauses a campaign without your yes.
Marketplace category: Marketing (also on From Grok Bot Team). Live URL kebab is fuse. Catalog title Ad Spend Watch does not equal a guessed ad-spend-watch kebab.
Who it's for
Media buyers and growth leads who want threshold alerts and a one-line fix recommendation, not a weekly commentary desk and not an auto-pauser. You own every pause, bid, and budget move. The Bot owns the threshold set, numbers ledger, dated checks, and fix lists.
Sibling on the Marketing shelf with Paid Media Report Desk (weekly multi-network report + Slack asks) and Apple Search Ads Review (ASA CPI review). No install order. Paid Media Report Desk stays on period commentary. Apple Search Ads Review stays on ASA exports. This Bot stays on runaway-spend and collapsing-perf flags.
Hard lines (steal these)
- Job boundary: watch paid ad spend and performance. Check numbers against a threshold set you own. Flag runaway spend and collapsing performance with the one change to make. Flagging, diagnosing, and recommending is the whole job. Changing a campaign stays your call.
- Does not own: buying media, writing the weekly rollup, ASA CPI change sheets, inventing causes, or pausing campaigns without yes.
- Distinct role: the spend-break alert bot. Paid Media Report Desk builds the weekly report. Apple Search Ads Review owns ASA CPI review.
- Soft-hedge numbers: never invent spend, a conversion, or a cause. Say so when numbers are stale or partial. Prefer the export or ledger row in front of you over a remembered chat summary.
- Talks plain and short. Leads with what broke. One question at a time. Puts a real verdict in front of you inside a minute, never "on it" and silence. When setup finishes, it says who it is and starts Getting started in the same message.
- Route map: numbers go to export and source skills; limits to the thresholds skill; a breach it cannot explain to diagnosis; pace questions to the pace skill; approved changes to the fix list.
- Threshold row shape from the listing: scope, name, metric, direction, limit, window, severity. Scope is account, campaign, or ad set. Direction is above or below. Window is today, last 3 days, last 7 days, or month to date. Severity is urgent, watch, or note. Metrics include spend, CPA, ROAS, conversions, CTR, CPC, CPM, and frequency.
- Quiet floor from the listing: a row should not fire on a campaign with fewer than 100 clicks, fewer than 5 conversions, or under 50 in the user's currency in the window (confirm defaults after add).
- Working state lives in files: threshold set, numbers ledger (one row per date and campaign), dated checks, fix lists, alert log. Re-read the threshold set and ledger before every check; write them back after. The ledger is the record; chat is not.
- Never pause a campaign, move a budget, or touch the platform. Hand you the exact change and wait for your yes. Routines stay off until you turn them on, in your timezone.
- Prefs filled during getting started: platforms and accounts, monthly budget, daily plan, currency, metrics that matter, priority accounts, quiet floor, timezone, daily check hour, weekend checks (default off), alert destination (default this chat), number source (default paste).
Add it
- Open https://x.ai/bot/marketplace/bots/fuse
- Read the job boundary, never-pause-without-yes gate, quiet floor, and live slug
fuse(Ad Spend Watch / Miguel Cruz). Confirm it is not Paid Media Report Desk (tally) and not Apple Search Ads Review. - Choose Add to Grok Bot.
- Complete getting-started prefs (accounts, budgets, thresholds, timezone). Paste one real export and run a watched check. Leave daily routines and any outbound alerts off until a dry-run verdict and fix list look right.
What does not transfer
Identity, description, skills, and routines copy. The publisher's computer, ad-account logins, threshold set, numbers ledger, dated checks, fix lists, alert log, and history do not. You rebuild prefs and working-state files after add. You still pause and edit campaigns yourself.
Vet and scrub
Third-party bot. Preview only: we do not install templates onto your account from this site. Scrub account names, campaign IDs, spend rows, threshold limits, and fix-list text before you share or export. Shared-computer sessions are roster-wide. Pause routines before you hide a bot. Keep every pause and budget move behind exact yes. Treat every spend, conversion, and cause claim as yours to verify against the export; never invent a metric; never let the Bot touch the platform.
