Get the name of the script in the script

[Guido van den Born]

Hi all,

I'm wondering if it is possible to reference the name of the script itself in the script. I'm adding code to send an e-mail when the script runs into an error. It would be nice if this e-mail contained the name of the actual script that failed to run. I could type out the name, but I'm looking for a way to not have to do that. I'd like it to be flexible and dynamic.

I'm using the method described on the link below btw. If anyone knows a better way of getting alerts when scripts are failing, please let me know :)

Thanks for any help in advance!

Hello,

At the moment, the scripts library does not have a property or method that can get the script's name. For new feature additions, please see our blog.

Thanks,

Hi Matt,

Thanks for letting me know! It's a shame, but we'll figure something out.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to get the name from Google Ads, so I usually include the name in a global variable I have at the very top of my scripts with other stuff I'll need throughout.

var settings = {

   scriptName: 'Name of script',
   somethingElse: 'whatever',

}
