Catch Trade Desk campaigns before they blow the budget

Every morning, WebRun opens The Trade Desk, checks every active campaign's spend against its budget and flight dates, creates a Trello card for anything pacing more than 15 percent over or under target, and messages you on WhatsApp when a campaign is critically off pace so a media buyer can adjust it the same day.

In short

How do I catch Trade Desk campaigns pacing off budget before they overspend?

WebRun checks every active campaign in The Trade Desk each morning, comparing spend to date against budget and flight dates. It creates a Trello card for anything pacing more than 15 percent off target and messages you on WhatsApp when a campaign is critically over or under budget, so media buyers can adjust it the same day instead of at flight end.

  • Off pace campaigns get a tracked Trello card the same morning
  • Critical pacing drift reaches you on WhatsApp before flight end
  • Corrected campaigns stop generating alerts automatically

Questions, answered

Will it pause campaigns or change bids for me?

No. WebRun only reads pacing data from The Trade Desk and tracks it. Pausing a campaign, changing a budget, or adjusting bids stays a decision your media buyer makes.

Does it check every campaign or just the big ones?

It checks every active campaign on the account each morning, so a smaller campaign quietly drifting off pace gets caught the same as a flagship one.

What happens once a campaign gets back on pace?

It reads live spend against budget each morning, so a campaign that is corrected stops generating new cards and alerts automatically.

Put this on autopilot.
