How to connect Apple Ads to ChatGPT
The secure pattern is Apple Ads → Lily → scoped OAuth → ChatGPT. Your Apple credentials stay at the connection layer while ChatGPT receives only the tools and account scope you approve.
1. Connect the Apple Ads account in Lily.
Create or sign in to Lily, begin the Apple Ads connection, and select the organization, account, and app you intend to analyze. Verify that campaign totals match the Apple Ads console before adding an AI client.
2. Authorize Lily in ChatGPT.
Add Lily as a compatible connected app or MCP connection and complete scoped OAuth. Do not paste Apple private keys, PEM files, or JWTs into a conversation.
3. Begin with bounded prompts.
Ask for one date range, account, country, or campaign at a time. A good first prompt is: ‘Compare spend, installs, and revenue for the last 14 days by campaign. Do not make changes.’
- State the time zone and attribution window
- Request tables before recommendations
- Review every proposed write
Common questions
Does ChatGPT store my Apple Ads private key?
With Lily's managed connection, the AI client does not need the Apple Ads private key. Authorization is handled through the Lily connection and scoped OAuth.
