How approval mode works

The most reasonable objection to automation is this: giving something write access to your ad account means giving up control. Mentorivo does not try to argue with that objection, it accepts it. Every rule has two modes, and the default is the one that does nothing on its own.

Two modes

In suggestion mode a rule runs normally, evaluates its condition and computes its action — but writes nothing to the platform. What comes out is a proposal: what will be done to which campaign, and which condition made it true. In automatic mode the same computation happens and the result is applied directly.

• Suggestion mode: the rule runs, the decision is recorded, execution waits for your approval.
• Automatic mode: the rule runs and the action is written to the platform; the record is still kept.
• The mode is chosen per rule — some rules can run automatically while others stay on suggestions.

Why suggestion mode is the default

It is normal for a newly written rule to behave unexpectedly in its first days: the threshold is a little tight, a data delay was not accounted for, weekends behave differently. Suggestion mode is the cheap way through that period — you read the rule’s decisions before those decisions are real.

Every action leaves a record

Whatever the mode, every run and every action is recorded: which rule wrote which value to which campaign, when, and what the previous value was. That record does two jobs. First, undo — you cannot restore a previous state you never stored. Second, accountability: the answer to “why did this budget change” exists somewhere.

When to switch to automatic

A practical test: if you have agreed with a rule’s proposals almost every time for two consecutive weeks, putting it on automatic is automating your own decision. If there are proposals you disagreed with, automatic mode means those decisions get executed too.

The way back is always open: moving a rule from automatic to suggestion mode does not require deleting or rewriting it.
