Can I Manage My Automated Campaigns in FiveX?

Automated campaign In BOL

Updated this week

The short answer is no.

Automated campaigns in bol.com are completely managed by bol itself. This means bol decides:

  • The bid amount

  • The keywords

  • The timing of when your campaign goes live

  • The spend allocation

Since all of these factors are controlled by bol, you cannot make adjustments or directly manage automated campaigns through FiveX.

However, in FiveX you can still view your automated campaigns. All data points and results—such as impressions, clicks, conversions, and spend—are visible in your FiveX dashboard. This gives you a clear overview of performance across all campaigns in one place.

But it’s important to note: while you can track the results of automated campaigns, you cannot use the FiveX AdMAX tool or automation rules to adjust them. AdMAX only works with:

  • Manual campaigns created in bol.com or in FiveX

  • Smart campaigns created directly in FiveX

This way, you benefit from FiveX’s automation and optimisation features for campaigns you control, while still keeping an eye on how your automated campaigns are performing.
