Welcome to Koast
What Koast does, how the app is laid out, and where to go first.
Koast is where you launch and run Meta ads across many ad accounts from one place. You build campaigns in bulk, launch them in one go, and let Koast Agent and Agent Tasks handle the busywork: checking results, pausing what's burning money, posting updates to Slack.
The short version
- Home is your console. Ask Koast Agent anything, approve what it wants to do, and see how every account is doing.
- Launch (⌘L) opens a new campaign. Build it yourself, have the agent build it, or clone one you already ran.
- Ads Manager shows your campaigns, ad sets and ads with their results, for one account or all of them.
- Agent Tasks watch your accounts and act on rules or a schedule, with your approval where it matters.
- Brands. Each ad account is its own brand. Switch between them at the top of the sidebar.
The sidebar
| Item | What it's for |
|---|---|
| Brand switcher | Pick the ad account you're working in, or All Accounts. |
| Launch and ⌘K | Start a campaign, or open the command palette. |
| Home | The agent console, sign-offs and your accounts at a glance. |
| Ads Manager | Every campaign, with toggles, budgets and results. |
| Creatives | Your images and videos, and the Pipeline for creative work in progress. |
| Templates | Campaign structures you reuse. |
| Agent Tasks | Every Agent Task you've set up, with a status dot for each. |
| Koast Agent | Your recent chats with the agent. |
| Account menu | Activity, Appearance, Settings, Help & docs and Log out. |
Two shortcuts work everywhere: ⌘K opens the command palette and ⌘L starts a campaign. On Windows use Ctrl instead of ⌘. See Find your way around.
Which ad accounts Koast works with
- Meta ad accounts, connected through your Facebook profile.
- Koast ad accounts, which you create inside Koast when you don't have a Facebook profile. They're provided through our partner Whop.
- Your own Whop account, connected with an API key.
