No Active Ads in Ad Group

[jono....@phdmedia.com]

Hi Guys,

I have found the script below which pauses ad groups with no active keywords.

I am looking for some help to modify the script so it will notify me via email when there are no active ads in an ad group. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

Based on your use case which is to send an email if there are no active ads in an ad group, the script would be something like this:

function main() {
  // Let's start by getting all of the active AdGroups
  var agIter = AdWordsApp.adGroups()
    .withCondition('CampaignStatus = ENABLED')
    .withCondition('Status = ENABLED')
    .get();
 
  // It is faster to store them and process them all at once later

  var adGroupsWithNoActiveAds = [];

  // Then we will go through each one
  while(agIter.hasNext()) {
    var ag = agIter.next();

    //get all the ads that are enabled
    var adIter = ag.ads()

      .withCondition("Status = ENABLED")
      .get();

     
    //If .hasNext() is true, there is at least 1 ad in the AdGroup
    var hasEnabledAd = adIter.hasNext();
    if(!hasEnabledAd) {
      adGroupsWithNoActiveAds.push(ag);
    }
  }
   
  // Now we will get all the ad groups and concatenate them into one message body
  var body = '';
  for(var i in adGroupsWithNoActiveAds) {
    body = body + adGroupsWithNoActiveAds[i].getId() +' ' + adGroupsWithNoActiveAds[i].getName() +'\n';
  }
 
  if (adGroupsWithNoActiveAds.length > 0) {
     MailApp.sendEmail('INSERT_EMAIL_ADDRESS_HERE',
                    'List of ad group ids with no active ads',
                    body);
     Logger.log("Sending complete!");
  }
}

Let me know if this helps. Also, since this is third party script, we recommend you to contact the creator of the script if you encountered any issues on this.

Thanks,
