getting Account Name by Adwords Scripts?

[oliviergratton]

Hi guys,

I'm working on a script to flag no-impressions campaign and send a warning email to the account manager. I'm looking for a way to access the account name by the script, since I would like to copy the same script on all the accounts I manage without having to adjust each name individually.

Any way of accessing that piece of data?

Best,

Olivier

Hi Olivier,

  Unfortunately, there's currently no way to obtain account identifiers at this time.  We're currently researching MCC support and will try to make this easier when that happens.

Since scripts are currently tied to the account, one workaround is to define a global variable such as 

var ACCOUNT_NAME = 'My Account';

and update that when adding this script to an individual accounts.  Then the script body can just refer to ACCOUNT_NAME and will see the value for this account.
