Per-campaign controls

Hands-free defaults on for Max-tier campaigns. These controls let you scope-down automation on specific campaigns or pause the agent entirely when you need full manual control.

Per-campaign hands-free toggle

On the campaign detail page Optimize tab, Max users see a Hands-Free toggle. Defaults ON. Flipping it OFF:

• Stops all Max hands-free changes on this campaign (surgical and meaningful).
• Agent still surfaces recommendations for manual approval.
• Auto-rollback still works for any previously-executed changes.
• Notifications continue for rollbacks of changes made earlier.

Use this for campaigns where you want full manual control: seasonal pushes, testing new strategies, anything sensitive.

Exclude from automation

A second, harder stop: campaigns.agent_excluded = true. There is no switch for it in the app yet. When set, the agent skips this campaign entirely. No metrics syncing, no diagnostics, no recommendations, no rollbacks.

Use this for campaigns you have outside of VibeAds' scope (e.g. a video campaign you manage manually in Google Ads UI but live in the same account). VibeAds will not duplicate or interfere.

Manual Optimize Now

The Optimize tab has a "Run Optimization" button that triggers an immediate agent cycle. On Max with hands-free on, the button label flips to "Optimize Now (hands-free)" and eligible actions auto-apply in the same call. Toast feedback shows what happened.

On Pro and Free, the manual run only generates recommendations. Each requires a click to apply.

Useful when you want to act on fresh data without waiting for the next 12-hour cron tick. The dedup check still applies for manual review flows (Pro/Free) to prevent "already up to date" surprise no-ops.

Resetting the circuit breaker

If your user-level hands-free breaker tripped (3+ auto-rollbacks in 30 days), there is no reset button in the app yet. Ask support to turn hands-free back on; the rollbacks are listed on each campaign's Optimize tab so you can check them first.

Resetting clears hands_free_circuit_broken_at on your profile. The agent resumes Max hands-free changes on the next cycle. If the same rules trip again 3 times in 30 days, the breaker re-trips. We do not auto-fix the root cause; you have to look at the per-rule fleet success rates to understand whether the rules need tuning or your campaigns are atypical.
