# Campaign Launch Overview

> End-to-end guide to building and launching Meta ad campaigns with AdStellar.

The campaign launcher is where everything comes together. You configure your campaign settings, select audiences, pick creatives, and publish — all in one flow.

## Starting a New Campaign

From the **Campaigns** page, click **New Campaign**. This opens the launch wizard, a multi-step flow that walks you through the full campaign setup.

There are two ways to start:

* **Manual launch** — You configure everything yourself, step by step.
* **AI-generated campaign** — AI builds an optimized campaign for you. AI launches begin with an **AI Overview** page where you can review and adjust the generated plan before entering the wizard.

Both paths lead to the same launch wizard. The difference is whether you start from scratch or from an AI-generated draft.

## The Launch Flow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Campaign Settings">
    Choose your ad account, objective, budget, and naming pattern. This is the foundation of your campaign.

    [Campaign Settings →](/guides/launch/campaign-settings)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ad Sets & Targeting">
    Select audience templates to create ad sets. Configure conversion events, schedules, placements, and per-ad-set budgets.

    [Ad Sets & Targeting →](/guides/launch/ad-sets)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Ads & Creatives">
    Pick creative templates, assign your Facebook Page, configure tracking, and preview how your ads will look.

    [Ads & Creatives →](/guides/launch/ads)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review & Publish">
    See a full summary of your campaign. Fix any validation errors, review the campaign map, and hit publish.

    [Review & Publish →](/guides/launch/review-publish)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set Goals">
    After publishing, define the performance metrics you want to track — CPA, ROAS, or CPC — and set target values.

    [Setting Goals →](/guides/launch/goals)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Monitor">
    Your campaign is live. Head to the Campaigns page to track performance and let AI Insights surface what's working.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Naming Patterns

Throughout the wizard, you'll set names for campaigns, ad sets, and ads. AdStellar supports **dynamic naming tokens** like `{campaign_objective}`, `{launch_date}`, and `{audience_template_name}` that auto-fill when the campaign is published.

<Tip>
  If you're launching campaigns regularly, set up [audience templates](/guides/launch/audience-templates) and [creative templates](/guides/launch/creative-templates) first. The launcher pulls from these templates, so having them ready makes building campaigns much faster.
