gads_duplicate_campaign
Google Ads tool (extended/low-level coverage). For common tasks prefer the RECOMMENDED google_ads_* actions; use these only for advanced operations those don't cover.

Args: source_campaign_id: ID of the campaign to copy. new_name: Name for the new campaign. pause_new_campaign: If True or unset (default), the new campaign is created PAUSED for safety. Pass False to create it ENABLED immediately. customer_id: Google Ads customer ID. Leave blank to use default.
