To streamline troubleshooting, Error Grouping in Ads Manager Assistant categorizes errors by type and entity level (Paid Initiative, Ad Set, and Ad) allowing you to quickly identify, filter, and fix issues more efficiently.

How Ads Manager Assistant Groups Errors

Errors are detected and grouped on two levels.

1. By Entity Level: Errors will be first grouped into the three entity levels -

   • Paid Initiative

   • Ad Set

   • Ads

2. By Error Type - After grouping errors by level, the system categorizes them into one of the following predefined groups -

   Error Type	Description	Example
   Permission Errors	Triggered when you lack permissions to edit an entity.	“Cannot edit scheduling for RF Ads; you do not have access.”
   Budget and Spend Errors	Related to spend cap, budget thresholds, or insufficient funds.	“You must increase your budget to at least 105% of your current actual spend.”
   Creative Errors	Linked to file issues, unsupported formats, or upload failures.	“Error occurred while publishing media - Unable to upload the file.”
   Targeting Errors	Occur when the selected audience is invalid or restricted.	“The selected audience is not available for this ad account.”
   Ad Format & Placement Errors	Highlight errors related to incorrect ad format and incompatible placements.	“The aspect ratio of the uploaded video is not supported for this placement.”
   Other	Includes errors that do not match any of the above mentioned categories	N/A

These categories are based on past analysis of common error messages to ensure the most relevant and frequent issues are grouped logically.
