Budget apply manual

What this task is​

The platform creates this task when an automatic budget flow couldn't apply a budget change or stop spending. The operator's job is to apply the budget change manually in Google Ads.

When it appears: an automatic account budget change or stop didn't complete.

Step 1. Open the task​

  1. Go to the Operators' Tasks page.
  2. Find the task in the table and click Execute Task at the end of its row.
  3. A modal opens with the task details and the expected budget context. Keep it open — you'll need these values.

Step 2. Apply the budget change in Google Ads​

  1. Open Billing → Account budgets.
  2. Edit, end, or remove the relevant account budget as the task requires.

Step 3. Verify and close​

Do not close the task early. Close it only after the Account budgets page shows the expected amount, status, and end date.

  1. Confirm the budget reflects the expected values.
  2. Return to the task modal and resolve it with a successful outcome.
  3. If the budget cannot be applied, resolve the task with a failed outcome and a short reason instead.
