Using the Strategies Library allows you to activate an Autopilot Strategy easily, without having to create it from scratch.

To learn more about each Strategy, click on this introduction to the Autopilot.

To follow along with this tutorial, open the Scalify app in a new tab and click on Autopilot from the sidebar.

Much like creating a campaign, creating an Autopilot Strategy has a 4 step workflow:

1. Name and Target
2. Actions and Conditions
3. Schedule and Notifications
4. Review

8. Optional: Give your Strategy a name or leave the default name
9. Optional: Edit your Strategy’s description or leave it on default
10. Optional: Add your Strategy to a folder or create a new one by clicking on New Folder
11. Choose your target: Campaigns, Ad Sets, or Ads from the drop-down
12. Choose selection type: Automatic (All) or Manual from the drop-down — if you chose Manual, make sure to check the campaigns, ad sets, or ads you want your strategy to apply to

    2. Using the drop-down, select the parent campaign, ad sets, or ad

2. Actions and Conditions

This is where you set the action, conditions, as well as the schedule your Strategies, will run on.

Since you’ve chosen a Strategy from the library, you can leave the values on default and move to the next step.

3. Schedule and Notifications

1. Using the drop-down choose the schedule you’d like your Strategy to run on
2. Optional: By leaving the Always run when this Strategy is active toggle on, your Strategy will continue to run until you disable it manually. By turning the toggle off, you can decide when your Strategy will run and stop
3. Optional: By enabling the Email Notification toggle, you will receive an email report each time a condition is met

4. Review

After reviewing your Strategy’s summary, you can choose to either launch your Strategy by keeping the Enable this Strategy after creation toggle on, or turn it off if you want to go in and review the details one more time before launching.

Once you’re done, click on the Create Strategy button.

You can keep up with your Strategy’s creation status in the Tasks tab.
