Is there a better way to Pause all Campaigns at once in emergency case

[ZoreMio]

Hello, 

I need to find a solution, how to pause all campaigns as fast as possible. 

My scenario

1) Download all campaigns per all MCC sub accounts.

2) Create operations to set label and set status paused.

3) Upload them all back via Incremental batch Job. 

same with enable them back (only labeled).

Any suggestion to do this better ? Because there are more than 200 accounts each with ~2k campaigns.

etc: 

Pause and download not per MCC sub accounts but per MCC master account   ? 

In UI I can set manually faster than via API, because you can select all enabled campaigns, set label for them and then pause. you can work with all campaigns at once. But I need to do this automatically. 

Best,

Mio

Hi Mio,

Using AdWords API, you can target one account in a request. You'll have to continue using the approach you describe to pause all campaigns. You can change the clientCustomerId during run time and automate your program to perform these operations for all your accounts.
