Which Google Ads campaigns are active vs. paused, and what's their budget?
Pull campaign.name, campaign.status, and campaign_budget.amount_micros from campaign (and its linked campaign_budget). Grouping by status gives a quick view of how much daily budget is sitting on paused campaigns versus live ones.
The report
| GAQL field | What it means |
|---|---|
campaign.name | The campaign's name. |
campaign.status | ENABLED, PAUSED, or REMOVED. |
campaign_budget.amount_micros | The campaign's daily budget in micros - divide by 1,000,000 for the real amount. |
Resource: campaign. Tool: get_campaigns - one of Caybl.ai's built-in Google Ads tools.
Ask it in plain English
Ask that in Claude or ChatGPT once Google Ads is connected through Caybl.ai, and your agent builds this exact report - you don't need to know the GAQL field names above at all.
What actually trips people up
Campaign status alone can overstate how much budget is actually live: a shared budget can be attached to several campaigns at once, so listing campaign_budget.amount_micros per campaign and summing it double-counts budget that's really one pool. Group by the budget resource itself, not just by campaign, before totaling how much daily spend capacity is sitting on active versus paused campaigns.

Which GAQL fields does "Which Google Ads campaigns are active vs. paused, and what's their budget?" need?
campaign.name, campaign.status, campaign_budget.amount_micros, from the campaign resource. These are the real Google Ads Query Language (GAQL) field names, so the same report can be built in the Google Ads UI, the API, or through Caybl.ai.
Can I just ask "List my campaigns with their status and daily budget, grouped by active vs paused." instead of writing GAQL?
Yes. Once Google Ads is connected through Caybl.ai, ask "List my campaigns with their status and daily budget, grouped by active vs paused." and your agent runs the report for you - no need to know the campaign.name field or write GAQL yourself.
Does asking about campaign change anything in my Google Ads account?
No. This is a read-only report - it uses Caybl.ai's read access to Google Ads and doesn't touch campaigns, budgets, or keywords. Making changes to your account is a separate, opt-in permission you control per connection.
