Automated ASINs

Automation only acts on products you have enabled. Automated ASINs is where you choose them, and it is also the meter your plan is measured against.

Each product carries an Enabled / Disabled toggle. Disabled is not a pause on a rule — the product is simply outside Automation’s reach, and no rule assigned to it will act.

The header states how many you have enabled against what your plan allows, so the count is never a surprise at the moment you need one more.

Automated ASINs list showing product statuses, enablement controls, and performance metrics

Connection What you see
SP-API connected Products from your catalog
No SP-API Only the ASINs you are actually advertising

That difference matters when you are setting up. A seller who has connected Amazon Ads but not SP-API sees a shorter list — not because products are missing, but because the connection that knows about the catalog is not there yet. See Connect your Amazon account.

Each row carries the last 30 days of performance: impressions, clicks, orders, units, sales, conversion rate, spend, CPC, CTR, ACOS and ROAS. These are the same figures as the Products view in Performance, so the two do not disagree.

Columns and views are configurable, and instant search filters the list.

The Automated ASINs table. A counter above it reads how many of an unlimited allowance are enabled. Each row carries a product thumbnail and name, an enabled or disabled toggle, the ASIN, its SKUs, and thirty days of impressions, clicks, orders, units, sales, conversion rate, spend, CPC, CTR, ACOS and ROAS. Some rows show zeros throughout. The Automation navigation runs down the left. Product names, ASINs, SKUs and all figures are demo replacements; thumbnails are blurred.

The rows carrying zeros are the ones worth noticing: a product with no impressions has nothing for a rule to read.

A product with no impressions has nothing for a rule to read. Enabling it costs you an Automated ASIN and changes nothing until it starts running.

A product with heavy spend and no orders is the opposite case — it is where Automation earns its keep fastest.

Check the ASIN has resolved economics. A rule that needs a target ACOS or a max bid cannot act without them. See How the economics resolve.

You will usually have more products than the plan allows, so this is a real decision.

Spend first, not sales. Automate where the money is moving, whether or not it is working. A product spending $2,000 a month is where a rule pays for itself; a product spending $40 is not.

Products with enough traffic to settle a question. Rules need evidence. A long-tail ASIN with four clicks a week will spend most of its time being skipped for thin data.

Leave launches manual at first. A new product has no history, so most triggers cannot fire on it, and the ones that can are reading a very short record.

  • Disabling a product does not undo changes rules already made. Those are in Change History.
  • The count is products enabled, not rules or ad groups. One product under twelve rules is one Automated ASIN.
  • A disabled product is still visible in Ads Manager and can still be worked on by hand.
