Question

I'm trying to make the call to FB API to create a new adgroup and ad, with adgroup status set to 9 (adgroup paused).

However, my new adgroup goes through following phases: - adgroup_status: 4 (pending review) and then - adgroup_status: 1 (active)

What is going on there?

To make things worse - after the review process is done, I can easily make another request in which I pause the adgroup. So...

Cheers

Solution

This question was asked some time ago, answering for other readers.

Documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/ads-api/adgroup/

Note: Ad groups are in pending state after creation until they are approved (or rejected). Once an ad group is approved, it will be in running state. If you would like an ad group not running after approval, you can create the ad group in a paused campaign, and then resume the campaign when you are ready to run the ad group.
