Automated Reddit Ads Budget Pacing Checks

Every morning, WebRun opens Reddit Ads, reads yesterday's spend and delivery for every active campaign, compares it against the daily budget and the days left in the flight, sends you a WhatsApp note when a campaign is overspending or barely delivering, and keeps each end date on your Google Calendar.

In short

How do I check that my Reddit Ads campaigns are pacing to budget?

WebRun reads yesterday's spend and delivery for every active Reddit Ads campaign each morning and compares it against the budget and days left in the flight. It sends a WhatsApp note naming only the campaigns that are off pace, and keeps every campaign end date on your Google Calendar with a three-day warning.

  • Overspending is caught the next morning, not at month end
  • Underspending campaigns get fixed while the flight is still running
  • No campaign quietly ends without a three-day warning

Questions, answered

Will it change budgets or pause campaigns on its own?

No. WebRun only reads the Reddit Ads dashboard. It never edits a budget, pauses a campaign, changes targeting, or launches an ad, so no money moves without a person deciding.

Will it message me every morning?

Only when a campaign is off pace. Mornings where everything is spending on plan produce no WhatsApp message, so a ping always means something needs a look.

What counts as off pace?

A campaign spending fast enough to exhaust its total budget before the end date, or slowly enough to leave budget unspent. You set the tolerance at setup, and it is measured against days remaining.

Put this on autopilot.
