New features in AdWords scripts

[Kevin Winter (AdWords Scripts Team)]

We're happy to announce several new features in AdWords scripts.

Here's a sample script that copies an ad group:

 var campaign = AdWordsApp.campaigns().get().next();

 var toCopy = campaign.adGroups()

     .withCondition('Name="California"')

     .get().next();

  var adGroupBuilder = campaign.newAdGroupBuilder()

     .withName('New York')

     .withKeywordMaxCpc(toCopy.getKeywordMaxCpc())

     // start off paused - let's review before launching this ad group!

     .withStatus('PAUSED');

 var copy = adGroupBuilder.create();

 

 // copy keywords

 var keywords = toCopy.keywords().get();

 

 while(keywords.hasNext()) {

   var keyword = keywords.next();

   copy.createKeyword(keyword.getText(), keyword.getMaxCpc(), keyword.getDestinationUrl());

 }

  // copy ads

 var ads = toCopy.ads().get();

 

 while(ads.hasNext()) {

   var ad = ads.next();

   if(ad.getType() == 'TEXT_AD') {

     copy.createTextAd(ad.getHeadline(), ad.getDescription1(), ad.getDescription2(), ad.getDisplayUrl(), ad.getDestinationUrl());

   }

 }

hi could you please tell how to use this script in our website

[Kevin Winter (AdWords Scripts Team)]

Hi,

  You might want to take a look at our Getting Started guide, which walks you through creating your first script.  Once you've created your first script, you can copy and paste the sample script into the main() function and hit preview to see what it will do.

Please make me clear how to use this script code in my website page?

Hi,

  This video walks through a tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ie4H2Pb3OYc

Note that AdWords scripts are hosted on Google's servers and can be scheduled to run periodically, or you can log in to AdWords and explicitly run the script.

Thanks for your valuable suggestion, another doubt whether can we load the google advertisement images based on product names(like vortex), is it possible?

[Kevin Winter (AdWords Scripts Team)]

Hi,

  I'm not sure what you mean.  Currently, only text ads can be manipulated via AdWords Scripts.

Just wanted to say thanks for this. Labels and adgroup creation were the top two features I was waiting for (ID's are #3 ;) Glad to see that new features are still added.
