Hello All,
I have a script that Runs every hour.
I would like that this script execute every time an Hour Start, so for example at 8:00 - 9:00 - 10:00 etc.
At the moment I don't know why it runs always at 8:27 - 9:27 - 10:27.
How can I make sure that it will run at 9:00 - 10:00 etc ?
Thanks Million

Hey Michele,

Although AdWords doesn't guarantee that script will run exactly at same minute every hour. They say that it all depends on he load on their servers. However, I have noticed that it all depends on the time at which you scheduled the script.

So, in your case you would have scheduled the script at a time like 11:27, so it runs at 27th minute of each hour. To make it run exactly at 8 AM, 9 AM and so on, you should remove the scripts schedule and then create a new Hourly schedule at exactly start of an hour.

This is not a guarantee but it works 99% of the time.

Hi Naman,
Thanks for the feeback.
I tried to reschedule exactly when the hour started.
I deleted the old scritp and created a new one but it runs again at 11:27, see picture below.
Anything I should write in the script to make it run at 11:00, 12:00 etc ?
Thanks
Michele
