# Pause or resume a campaign

`PUT /v1/ads/campaigns/{campaignId}/status`

  - `platform` 'facebook' | 'instagram' | 'tiktok' | 'linkedin' | 'pinterest' | 'google' | 'twitter' | 'openai', required

## Response `200`

Campaign status updated

- object
  - `updated` integer — Number of ads updated
  - `skipped` integer — Number of ads skipped
  - `skippedReasons` string[]
  - `message` string — Human-readable summary (present when no ads were actionable)

## Other responses
