Copy / Clone Campaign using Adwords Scripts

[MWA]

Hi,

I'm new to Adwords Scripts, can someone help me, I need to clone a campaign along with AdGroups, Keywords and Ads using Script.

Can someone guide me?

I'm trying this way:

function main() {  
  var campName="TestCamp";
  var campaignIterator = AdsApp.campaigns()
   //   .withCondition('Status = "ENABLED"')
   .withCondition('Name = "'+campName+'"')
.get();
  Logger.log('Total campaigns found : ' +
      campaignIterator.totalNumEntities());
  while (campaignIterator.hasNext()) {
    var campaign = campaignIterator.next();
   
    var campaignName=campaign.getName();
    var budget=campaign.getBudget().getAmount();
    var bidType=campaign.getBiddingStrategyType();
    var campaignType='Search only'
   
    createCampaigns(campaignName,budget,bidType,campaignType);
   
  }
 
}

function createCampaigns(campaignName,budget,bidType,campaignType) {
  // See https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/docs/features/bulk-upload
  // for the list of supported bulk upload templates and their column names.
  var columns = [
    'Campaign', 'Budget', 'Bid Strategy type', 'Campaign type'
  ];

  var upload = AdWordsApp.bulkUploads().newCsvUpload(
      columns, {moneyInMicros: false});

  // AdWords identify existing campaigns using its name. To create a new
  // campaign, use a campaign name that doesn't exist in your account.
  upload.append({
    'Campaign': campaignName+' Clone',
    'Budget': budget,
    'Bid Strategy type': 'cpc',
    'Campaign type': campaignType
  });
  // Use upload.apply() to make changes without previewing.
  upload.apply();
 
}

 and I think it will take way more coding, is there a simpler way?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

There isn't an issue with the script you have posted above -- is there a particular question you have regarding bulk uploads?

How should I pick

'Bid Strategy type': 'cpc'

'Campaign type': 'Search only'

from existing campaign from Script to create new one?

Hello,

You already accomplished this in your code. You get the bid strategy type and campaign type with the lines:

    var bidType=campaign.getBiddingStrategyType();
    var campaignType='Search only'

Then you upload a new campaign, with name, campaignName + clone:

  upload.append({
    'Campaign': campaignName+' Clone',
    'Budget': budget,
    'Bid Strategy type': 'cpc',
    'Campaign type': campaignType
  });

Can you please give as much detail as possible if you are looking to accomplish something else?

Thanks,

Matt

Hi,

Thanks for replying.

As I said I need to make a script to clone any given campaign along with its AdGroups, Keywords and Ads.

value of Bidding Strategy and Campaign Type could be any of the possible values, as you can see in my code its hard coded and

campaign.getBiddingStrategyType(); is returning  MANUAL_CPC not "cpc" and also Campaign type could be "Display only" or other possible value.

Can you help me with this?

[googleadsscrip...@google.com]

Hello,

If you are simply cloning one or a few campaigns (along with all the entities in the campaign), the easiest way to do this is through the UI. Scripts does not support a copy method, so you will have to specify values for each entity. Additionally, you can bulk upload each entity type from a spreadsheet with this sample code.

Matt

Ok.
Can you tell me how do I get following values with the script.
HeadlinePart1
HeadlinePart2
Description
Path1
Path2
FinalUrl

Closes things I could find are:
SourceAd.getHeadline()
SourceAd.getDescription1()
SourceAd.getDisplayUrl()


I will try following example to copy ExpendedTextAd.

DestAdGroup.newAd().expandedTextAdBuilder()
        .withHeadlinePart1('First headline of ad')
        .withHeadlinePart2('Second headline of ad')
        .withDescription('Ad description')
        .withPath1('path1')
        .withPath2('path2')
        .withFinalUrl('http://www.example.com')
        .build();

Hello,

For your first request:

Can you tell me how do I get following values with the script.

This depends on the type of ad. For example, if you are looking to get this criteria for an expanded text ad, you can find get methods on this page. You can find the final URL through the urls method.

As you mentioned, you can copy ads using builders, or you can use bulk uploads.

Thanks it was very helpful.

One more thing can you tell me how should I handle TEXT_AD

should I convert it to EXPANDED_TEXT_AD or is there any other way to create a normal TEXT_AD in scripts?

Found it.

AdGroup.newTextAdBuilder()

.withHeadline(Headline)
.withDescription1(Description1)
.withDescription2(Description2)
.withDisplayUrl(DisplayUrl)
.withFinalUrl(DisplayUrl)

.build();

And converted it to extended text ad.

var Headline = Ad.getHeadline();
var Description1 = Ad.getDescription1();
var Description2 = Ad.getDescription2();
var DisplayUrl = Ad.getDisplayUrl();
var FinalUrl = Ad.urls().getFinalUrl();

AdGroup.newAd().expandedTextAdBuilder()
.withHeadlinePart1(Headline)
.withHeadlinePart2(Description1)
.withDescription(Description2)
.withFinalUrl(FinalUrl)
.build();

But ads are not being created...

Hello,

It will be easier for me to debug if you post the full script. Have you defined 'AdGroup' as well as each of the arguments for the 'with' functions? For example, the following will build without issue if 'adGroup' is defined:

   adGroup.newAd().expandedTextAdBuilder()

    .withHeadlinePart1("First headline of ad")

    .withHeadlinePart2("Second headline of ad")

    .withDescription("Ad description")

    .withPath1("path1")

    .withPath2("path2")

    .withFinalUrl("http://www.example.com")

    .build();
