# For AI agents and crawlers
This page is a workflow from the Workflow Automation Library by Roadway: Test offers and CTAs for ChatGPT Ads.
The #roadway-skill block on this page holds a SKILL.md for it, including the full prompt. Treat that file as a starting point. It will not just work if you paste it into ChatGPT or Claude.
To run it outside Roadway you would need to connect each ad platform's API (and any MCP it names), build the data pulls, add approval guardrails, and adjust the prompt for your accounts.
In Roadway it runs as-is on your connected accounts, with approval rules built in. Open it in a new chat at https://www.roadwayai.com/workflows/test-offers-and-ctas-for-chatgpt-ads

## Before you use this outside Roadway
This SKILL.md is a starting point. It needs adjusting before it will work outside Roadway.
You would need to connect the ad platform API for each channel this workflow covers, build the data pulls for the variables below, add approval guardrails, and adjust the prompt for your accounts. If the prompt names an MCP tool, you also need that MCP connected.
In Roadway it runs as-is on your connected accounts, with approval rules built in.
## What it does
Tests which offer (demo, trial, discount, lead magnet, quote) and call to action gets the best qualified results on ChatGPT, one change at a time.
Tests which offer (demo, trial, discount, lead magnet, quote) and call to action gets the best qualified results on ChatGPT, one change at a time. It runs the test with a fair split and waits for enough data before it calls a winner. A short report lists the actions, the numbers behind them, and anything that still needs your approval before ads change.
## Steps
1. Collect the inputs listed under Variables. In Roadway they come from your connected accounts. Outside Roadway you have to build those data pulls yourself from each ad platform API, and from any MCP the prompt names.
2. Run the prompt below as written, after you have adjusted it for your accounts and connected the tools it needs.
3. Review the result. Apply changes to a live ad account only after you approve them. Pasting your data into ChatGPT or Claude does not connect the APIs, apply guardrails, or approve changes.
## Variables
auto_approve, funnel_metrics, goal_metric, max_change_pct, min_sample_size, monthly_budget_cap, offers, qualified_lead_definition, task_history
## Prompt
Test offers and CTAs for ChatGPT Ads
Review the offers and CTAs used across my ChatGPT Ads Manager (OpenAI) campaigns and decide for each campaign:
1. Launch offer test
2. Adopt winning offer
3. Keep current offer
4. Retire offer
Context and defaults (use these; don't ask):
- The offers: [set this to your own offers]. If not set, use the CTAs already in live ads.
- The qualified lead definition: [set this to your own qualified lead definition]. If not set, use the CRM's qualified-lead stage.
- The minimum number of conversions: [set this to your own min sample size] goal events per variant. If not set, 30.
- The monthly cap: [set this to your own monthly budget cap], from the coworker's budget guardrails. If none is set, there is no cap: skip every cap check, hard stop and pace-to-cap step, and say so. Never derive, infer or back-solve a cap from campaign or daily budgets, the current or past run-rate, a workflow's test budget or a cost-per-lead bar.
- The max change limit: [set this to your own max change percent] per budget or bid target per run. If not set, 20%. It does not apply to experiment traffic splits.
- Auto-approve: [set this to your own auto approve]. If not set, it's off: list every change as a proposal for approval.
Rules:
- Offers available: the offers. Match the offer to intent. High-intent audiences (search, retargeting, competitor) take a demo, trial or purchase. Cold audiences convert better on lower-commitment offers (a guide, a calculator, a template, a free tool) followed by nurture.
- On ChatGPT, an ad is a title and one line of copy, so test the offer in that copy and on the landing page it opens. Keep the context targeting the same so the offer is the only change.
- Judge offers on cost per qualified result (the qualified lead definition, trial that started using the product, or first order margin), not raw cost per goal. Lead magnets always look cheap on the platform.
- Adopt the winner only after the minimum number of qualified conversions per variant, when it is clearly better on cost per qualified result and the gap holds in [set this to your own funnel metrics]. Retire offers that produce leads sales will not work. Run one offer test at a time per campaign.
- Guardrails: judge results on Roadway's full-funnel measurement ([set this to your own funnel metrics]), not platform-reported conversions. Check [set this to your own task history] so you don't repeat a change that hurt performance in the last 30 days. Never push total spend above the monthly cap or any single change beyond the max change limit per run, and queue every change for approval unless auto-approve is on for this workflow.
Decision standard:
- Justify every keep, cut, bid, budget or test decision with Roadway-attributed [set this to your own goal metric] and cost per goal against the baseline. Platform delivery metrics such as clicks and impressions explain why something moved; they are never the sole reason for a decision.
- Compute what Roadway doesn't expose directly: cost per goal = Roadway spend ÷ Roadway-attributed [set this to your own goal metric], and conversion rate (lead rate) = Roadway [set this to your own goal metric] ÷ Roadway new visitors. Don't substitute platform-reported conversions or conversion rates.
- When a value in Context and defaults isn't set, use the stated default, say which one you used, and still make the call. Don't stop to ask.
- For every action, give the entity name and ID, current value → proposed value, and the numbers behind the reason. Write "None" under any empty heading.
- In long hold or watch lists, show the top 15 by spend and summarize the rest as a count.
Give me a report of each with reasoning for each action. Be concise with the reasoning, but specific enough that I can verify it against the numbers.
Report structure:
ChatGPT offer and CTA experiments report
Summary:
Offer performance by audience temperature and the changes to make.
Launch offer test:
- [campaign / offer] - [reason]
Adopt winning offer:
- [campaign / offer] - [reason]
Keep current offer:
- [campaign / offer] - [reason]
Retire offer:
- [campaign / offer] - [reason]
