You choose the conditions that trigger it. A notification-only rule is a safe first step. ## Rule and AI tools **Birch.** Its Pro plan adds automated rules and strategies, a launcher and custom metrics. It connects Meta, Google, Snapchat and TikTok. The price follows your monthly ad spend across every connected account, and annual billing gives 12 months for the price of 11. Compare it with Madgicx in [Madgicx vs Revealbot](/compare/madgicx-vs-revealbot). **Madgicx.** Its AI Marketer audits a Meta account and suggests next steps. A Tracking Pro add-on for server-to-server tracking is $49/month. **AdEspresso.** Every plan lists performance triggers and automatic optimisation. Starter caps spend at $1,000 a month. See [AdEspresso alternatives](/alternatives/adespresso-alternatives). **Optmyzr.** Meta and LinkedIn tools come in every plan, with single-account tools on Essentials. **Zapier.** Its Facebook Lead Ads page lists pairings with Google Sheets, Gmail, HubSpot, Slack and Mailchimp. Use it when the job is moving leads, not changing ads. ## A worked example of a rule Say your break-even cost per purchase is INR 600. You set two rules. - **Rule 1:** if an ad set has spent INR 1,800 (three times break-even) with no purchase, turn it off. - **Rule 2:** if cost per purchase stays under INR 450 for three days, raise the daily budget by 20%. A INR 2,000 budget becomes INR 2,400. Write rules on paper before you build them. A bad rule can pause a good ad, so check results daily for the first week. Read [how to know when to turn off an ad](/guides/how-to-know-when-to-kill-an-ad) and what [ad fatigue](/glossary/ad-fatigue) looks like. ## How to choose 1. List the jobs you do by hand each week. 2. Check if Meta's rules cover them. 3. Price paid tools at your real ad spend. 4. Ask who approves changes to live budgets. For agents that act on your account, see the [best AI agents for advertising](/best/best-ai-agents-for-advertising). We make Marxx. It reads your connected Meta ad account in full and scores fatigue in five levels. It sends alerts and digests to Slack or email. It also [captures and routes Meta lead ads](/features/leads), and it does not replace a CRM. ## FAQ ### Does Meta have free automation?
