Youtube Ads Google Ads Scripts Dynamic Custom Parameter Not Working

[Alrisa Lee]

Hi

Im trying to run Google Ads Script to dynamically ad utm or custom paramaters to all our Google Ads campaigns but I show it only returns preview or result on Search & Display campaign? Not on our Youtube campaigns. Is there a way to fix this?

This is what my script looks like:

function main() {
var adGroupIterator =
AdsApp.adGroups().get();
while (adGroupIterator.hasNext()) {
var adGroup = adGroupIterator.next();
var gn=adGroup.getName().replace(/\s/g,'_');
var cn=adGroup.getCampaign().getName().replace(/\s/g,'_');
adGroup.urls().setCustomParameters({adgroup: gn, campaign: cn});
}
}

Hello Alrisa,

I’m James from the Google Ads scripts support team. Thank you for raising your concern to us.

Based on the given script, I observed that you’re using a regular AdGroupSelector. Take note that the getCampaign method of a regular AdGroupSelector only returns search and display campaigns. Since you’re looking for your youtube / video campaigns, I recommend that you use VideoAdGroupSelector along with the getVideoCampaign method instead.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Hi

If I change the script the next way:

function main() {
  let videoAdGroupIterator = AdsApp.videoAdGroups().withCondition("CampaignStatus = ENABLED").get();
  while (videoAdGroupIterator.hasNext()){
    let adGroup = videoAdGroupIterator.next();
    let adgroup_name = adGroup.getName().replace(/\s/g,'_');
    adGroup.urls().setCustomParameters({adgroup: adgroup_name});
  }
}

It still doesn't work, with the error: adGroup.urls is not a function Could you please advise how to fix it? Thanks!
