This page is part of the Workflow Automation Library by Roadway. It is the collection page for Automate YouTube Ads with standard workflows and lists a hand-picked set of workflows.
Every workflow page in the library includes a SKILL.md starting point. It will not just work if you paste it into ChatGPT or Claude. In Roadway, each workflow page has an Add to Roadway link that opens the workflow in a new chat, where it runs as-is on connected accounts with approval rules built in.
