The summary is the last step of the campaign flow — a single page that shows whether everything is in place, and the Publish Campaign button that sets it live.
The readiness checklist
At the top of the page you'll see either Ready to publish or Almost ready, with a count of tasks completed. There are up to two tasks:
Payment Method
A saved payment method is required before publishing. It's stored securely with Stripe and billed as your campaign delivers. If you haven't added one, click Add Method; if you have, you'll see the card brand and last four digits, with Add New available if you want to use a different one.
Web Pixel
Every objective except Awareness requires an active web pixel, since it's what measures your campaign's results. The card shows:
Ready with a last-activity timestamp — your pixel is live and sending events.
Ready with "No pixel activity in the last 30 days" — the pixel has worked before but has gone quiet. Worth checking before you launch.
Required — the pixel isn't sending data yet. Click Configure to set it up; see Setting Up Your Web Pixel.
The strategies table
Below the checklist, the summary lists every strategy with its budget (Daily or Lifetime), schedule, and status, plus a count of how many are active. Use Back to return to the strategy editor if anything needs a change.
Publishing
Once every task shows Ready and you have at least one strategy, Publish Campaign becomes available. Click it and your campaign is published — draft strategies become Active immediately, and you're returned to the Campaigns page.
There's no review or approval wait. If a creative is still processing when you publish, delivery simply begins once it's ready — you don't need to do anything.
Not ready to launch?
If your campaign is still a Draft, Save Draft saves everything and returns you to the Campaigns page. Your campaign keeps its Draft status until you come back and publish.
After publishing
Your campaign appears as Active on the Campaigns page. From there you can watch delivery on the performance chart, pause or resume it, and edit most settings — see Managing Your Campaigns. Results appear in Reporting as delivery begins.
Note: it may take up to 24 hours after campaign publishing for campaigns to begin delivering spend.
