Product Automation Ruleset enables automated management of product ad states (ASIN/SKUs) based on performance and retail data.

With Product Automation, users can define rules that evaluate:

  • Product ad performance within individual ad groups

  • Aggregated product performance across campaigns

  • Retail and availability data from Seller Central or Vendor Central

Based on these evaluations, Adbrew automatically updates the product ad state to ensure alignment with performance and inventory conditions.


Getting Started

To create a Product Automation Ruleset:

  1. Navigate to Automation

  2. Click Add New Ruleset

  3. Choose one of the following:

    • Create from Template

    • Create Custom Ruleset → Product Automation Ruleset


Using Templates

Templates provide predefined rules for common product automation scenarios and can be used with minimal configuration.

Available Templates

Change Ad State Based on Product Availability

  • Enables product ads when inventory is available

  • Pauses product ads when inventory is unavailable or below threshold

Pause Poor-Performing Products

  • Evaluates product performance using predefined metrics

  • Pauses product ads that do not meet performance criteria

Templates can be edited after creation to customize metrics, conditions, and schedules.


Creating a Custom Product Automation Ruleset

Step 1: Define Data Evaluation Period

Select the time range used for evaluation using the Using Data From dropdown.

Step 2: Configure Execution Schedule

Define:

  • How frequently the rule runs

  • Days of execution

  • Time of execution


Rule Metrics

Product Automation Ruleset supports the following metric categories.


Product Ad Performance (Ad Group Level)

These metrics evaluate product performance within each ad group where the product is advertised:

  • Impressions

  • Clicks

  • Spend

  • Sales

  • Orders

  • CPC

  • ACoS

  • CTR

  • Conversion Rate

Each ad group is evaluated independently.


ASIN Label Metrics (Aggregated Performance)

ASIN Label metrics evaluate the aggregated performance of a product across all associated campaigns and ad groups:

  • ASIN label impressions

  • ASIN label clicks

  • ASIN label spend

  • ASIN label sales

  • ASIN label orders

  • ASIN label ACoS

  • ASIN label conversion metrics

These metrics are independent of individual campaign or ad group associations.


Retail & Inventory Data

Retail metrics are sourced from Seller Central or Vendor Central, depending on account type:

  • FBA inventory

  • FBM inventory

  • Vendor inventory

  • Available supply

  • Average offer count

  • Buy Box percentage

  • Page views and sessions

  • Units ordered

  • Total sales and revenue

  • Cost of goods sold (COGS)

These metrics can be used to automate actions based on product availability and marketplace health.


Supported Actions

Based on the defined conditions, Product Automation can perform the following actions:

  • Enable product ads

  • Pause product ads

  • Archive product ads

Actions are executed automatically during each evaluation cycle.
