Empty Ad group script erros

[Eveline Grosjean]

Hi, 

I've installed this script to check for empty ad groups

https://www.brainlabsdigital.com/marketing-library/check-empty-ad-groups-script

in the past this used tu run fine, but now i'm getting errors (see screenshot)

does anybody know how this can be fixed? 

Thanks!

this almost certainly has to do with the script being migrated to the new google ads script environment.

This new environment does not support the 'old'  adwords query language used by your script. 

You can either change the script to be compatible with the new environment (requires new GAQL queries) or switch back to the old environment using the blue switch at the top right in the interface.

Hope this helps,

Hi, 

Thank you for your responses, indeed, it seems like the issue is because of the new ads experience. However, the resources regarding the migration are not clear / easy enough to help me translate it on my own. Do you have experience is this, who can help me?

Many thanks,

Eveline

Hi Eveline,

Unfortunately, our team would not be able to update/edit your scripts for you. What I can recommend is to reach out to someone on your team with knowledge in programming. In addition to our previously provided documents, you may use our Query Migration Tool - (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/scripts/docs/reference/query-migration-tool) to translate AWQL(old) queries into GAQL(new) queries.

However, if you've already updated your script but the issue persists, kindly provide the information we had previously requested.

Regards,

Google Ads Scripts Team
