One rule, for a fan-merchandise campaign:
While the condition holds, the ads run. The moment it stops being true, they're paused again — that's every PAUSED row in the log.
Built for ads that only pay off while the moment is live: fan merchandise, sports bars, match-night takeaway offers.
Four correct actions, zero human input — every one logged with its trigger reason.
