meta_ads_ad_rules_update
Update an existing Meta Ads automated rule. Modify name, status, or evaluation/execution/schedule specs with partial merge or full replace. Disable to pause without losing history.
Instructions
Updates fields on an existing Automated Rule. Partial update — only supplied fields are changed. Returns the updated rule. Mutating — not automatically reversible; record before-state with mureo_state_action_log_append if you may need to roll back. Changes take effect on the next scheduled evaluation. To temporarily suspend a rule, set status=DISABLED rather than deleting it so history is preserved.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | No | New rule name. | |
| status | No | New status. DISABLED pauses evaluation without deleting history. | |
| rule_id | Yes | Rule ID to update. | |
| account_id | No | Meta Ads account ID in the format 'act_XXXXXXXXXX' (e.g. 'act_1234567890'). Optional — falls back to META_ADS_ACCOUNT_ID from the configured credentials. The leading 'act_' prefix is required. | |
| replace_specs | No | When true, supplied spec objects replace the whole spec instead of merging onto the current one. Default false (safe merge). | |
| schedule_spec | No | Schedule changes. Merged onto the current spec by default; set replace_specs=true to replace it. | |
| execution_spec | No | Action changes. Merged onto the current spec by default; array values are replaced wholesale. Set replace_specs=true to replace it. | |
| evaluation_spec | No | Trigger changes. Merged onto the current spec by default (top-level keys you omit are kept), so you can change one facet without dropping the rest. Note: array values such as `filters` are replaced wholesale — include every condition you want to keep. Set replace_specs=true to replace the whole spec. |
