Identify ad groups with no active ads

[Merri Reyes]

Newbie dilemma here. I found a script in a separate thread about finding ad groups with too many active ads, and it's been really helpful. My question now is how can I reverse the code below to alert me when I have ad groups with no active ads this time

Also, how can this be tweaked, so I don't have to manually enter the active campaigns?

Thanks in advance!

function main() {


  //recipient of the email
  var recipient = 'te...@example.com';
 

  //array with campaign names for which the data is fetched
  var campaignList = ['Campaign Name 1', 'Campaign Name 2'];
 
  //declare all variables needed below

  //this variable will hold the information that is then sent via email

  var resultText = '',
      campaignCnt = campaignList.length,
      campaignName,
      currAdGroup,
      currAdsIter,
      currAdsCount,
      adGroupIter;
 
  for(var i=0; i < campaignCnt; i++) {
    campaignName = campaignList[i];
   
    //get all active adgroups
    adGroupIter = AdWordsApp.adGroups()

                    .withCondition('Status = ENABLED')

                    .withCondition('CampaignName = "' + campaignName + '"')
                    .orderBy('Name')
                    .get();
   
    while(adGroupIter.hasNext()) {

      currAdGroup = adGroupIter.next(),
      currAdsCount = 0;
      //get all enabled and approved ads in the current adgroup
      currAdsIter = currAdGroup.ads()
                  .withCondition('Status = ENABLED')
                  .withCondition('ApprovalStatus = APPROVED')
                  .get();
                 
      //count the ads
      //once we have reached 4 ads, remember the adGroup name and stop counting
      while(currAdsIter.hasNext()) {
        currAdsIter.next();
        currAdsCount++;
        if(currAdsCount >= 4) {
          //remember the adgroup by appending it to the result string

          resultText += 'Campaign "' + campaignName + '", AdGroup "' + currAdGroup.getName() + '"' + "\n";

          //no need to count more
          break;
        }
      }
    }

    //Logger.log(resultText);
  }
  MailApp.sendEmail(recipient, 'Adwords Script - Text Ads Quantified', resultText);
}

Hi Merri,

Did you already tried to change the "currAdsCount" limit to "if(currAdsCount == 0) {"?
