Ad group status changed from enabled to paused .. but it's NOT

[Tomasz Iwaszkiewicz]

My script sends "PAUSE" signal to particular AdGroups. 

I receive the message Ad group status changed from enabled to paused

But AdGoups are still enabled eventually. 

Should I do something more than (adGroup.pause(); ) ?

Hi Tomasz,

Can you please provide your CID and script name? We will need to look at the full script and check the account for reasons why the entity is becoming re-enabled (e.g. possible other automatic process enabling the entity).

Thanks,
Matt

Hi, 

my CID: 127-699-7041

Thank You for such a quick response.

Tom.

Hello,

Looking at the change history, the source of the ad group pausing/enabling is the script you mentioned. The script does contain enabling and pausing conditions that are called from the function, start_stop_adgroups (temp), which is called on line 44. The condition for pausing or enabling within that function's definition is: 

  var campState = (temp > 24)? true : false  //line 71

The script runs hourly. If you do not want the enabling condition, you could remove the 'else' block on line 87.

Regards,

[Tomasz Iwaszkiewicz]

Line 87 is commented:   //adGroup.enable();

And line 67 changed to be always true

but it’s not the case. 

Clicking Preview and:

• Script runs, 
• pausing AdGrous, 
• Reporting changes from enable to paused 
• but all AdGrous are still green.

Hello,

The script did not have these changes when I investigated an hour ago (e.g. commented out adGroup.enable) and the temp condition has been changed to '24' from '0'.  

If you clicked 'preview' instead of 'run' the changes won't take place. Preview mode simply tells you the changes that would have taken place if you chose to actually run the script (note that scripts services, such as spreadsheet app or mail app, will execute even in preview mode). 

[Tomasz Iwaszkiewicz]

OK, I clicked Run without preview instead of Preview:

And log contains:

6/18/2019 10:20:32 PM

AdGroup Name: Worki. Enabled: false

But it’s not true. Adgroup Worki is Enabled = green. 

Should i wait for the effect to be visible?

Tom.

OK. I see it. 

I have to force refresh the view by clicking rounded arrow. 

It works. Thank you. 

Simple lesson learned: preview is not changing the state. 

Tom.
