      return;
    }

    while (campaignIterator.hasNext()) {
      var campaign = campaignIterator.next();
      Logger.log("Processing campaign: " + campaign.getName());

      // Exclude languages
      for (var i = 0; i < languagesToExclude.length; i++) {
        try {
          campaign.targeting().languages().excludeLanguage(languagesToExclude[i]);
          Logger.log("Excluded language: " + languagesToExclude[i]);
        } catch (error) {
          Logger.log("Failed to exclude language: " + languagesToExclude[i] + " - " + error.message);
        }
      }

      // Exclude content labels
      var contentLabelIterator = campaign.targeting().contentLabelTargets().get();
      while (contentLabelIterator.hasNext()) {
        var contentLabel = contentLabelIterator.next();
        if (contentCategoriesToExclude.includes(contentLabel.getName())) {
          try {
            contentLabel.exclude();
            Logger.log("Excluded content label: " + contentLabel.getName());
          } catch (error) {
            Logger.log("Failed to exclude content label: " + contentLabel.getName() + " - " + error.message);
          }
        }
      }

      // Exclude placements based on channel name keywords
      var placementIterator = campaign.display().placements().get();
      while (placementIterator.hasNext()) {
        var placement = placementIterator.next();
        for (var j = 0; j < placementKeywordsToExclude.length; j++) {
          if (placement.getUrl().toLowerCase().indexOf(placementKeywordsToExclude[j]) !== -1) {
            try {
              placement.exclude();
              Logger.log("Excluded placement: " + placement.getUrl());
            } catch (error) {
              Logger.log("Failed to exclude placement: " + placement.getUrl() + " - " + error.message);
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  } catch (error) {

"I created the followeing script to exclude placments for pmax , demand gen campaigns [...]"

That won't work. You can't control the minute details of these automated campaign types. Their raison d'être is to use Google's data rather than your inputs.

And AdsApp.campaigns() won't even return those campaign types.

Not sure, why @Google Ads Scripts Team don't just tell you that you that.

When you ask ChatGPT to write code that will do something which is not possible, it will comply. But of course, the result will be rubbish. So you need to read the documentation yourself to know what is possible.

Hi,

@Sigurd - thanks for input on this issue.

I would like to inform you that the language targeting for PMax and Demand Gen campaigns are not supported in the Google Ads Scripts. You can use targeting methods for Search & Display, Shopping, and Video campaigns.

I hope this helps! Kindly get back to us if you still have any concerns.
