What does “pending” mean in Zeely?

When you launch a campaign in Zeely, it first goes through a manual quality check by our advertising team. Only then do we submit it to Meta for final approval.

This process helps:

  • Ensure your ad meets Meta’s advertising policies

  • Avoid ad rejections or account restrictions

  • Prevent wasted ad spend on non-compliant or weak ads

What happens after the review?

Once your campaign is reviewed:

  • If approved you'll receive a confirmation email from Zeely. Your campaign will go live and start generating traffic.

  • If not approved:

    • we’ll send you a detailed email explaining why it was declined, with clear instructions on how to fix the issue

    • your payment will be fully refunded to your original payment method.

How long does the review take?

  • Most campaigns are reviewed by our team within 1–12 hours

  • During high-traffic periods, it may take up to 24 hours

  • After our approval, Meta also performs its own review which may take another few hours

Still “pending” after 24 hours?
