Error in script execution "An error occurred. Please try again later"

[Pere Munar]

Hello! 

I have the script that I post below. I place it in several different accounts and in some of them I get the error "An error occurred. Please try again later" several times (one for every campaign) and in some it runs without errors.

What the script does is to set the ad group final url suffix to a certain value, putting the name of the campaign, the name of the ad group and other fix utms.

I tryed to change a campaign's name and execute the script, and for that particular campaign it performs well, but I get the error for the rest of campaigns that had not changed.

Can someone help me understand the errors?

Thanks!

Here is the script code:

function main() {
   var SuffixTemplate="utm_source=google&utm_medium=pl&utm_campaign={CampaignName}&utm_adgroup={AdGroupName}&utm_ad={creative}&utm_term={keyword}";
 
                var _CAMPAIGN_CONTAINS="";               //Filter by Campaign name  
                var _ADGROUP_CONTAINS="";               //Filter by Adgroup name
                var STATUS="ENABLED";                    //ENABLED, PAUSED
 
                if (SuffixTemplate.search(/{AdGroupName}|{CampaignName}/g)==-1) {
                               Logger.log("Enter at least one of the {CampaignName} or {AdGroupName} parameter in the tracking template");
                               return
                }  
                if (SuffixTemplate.search("{CampaignName}")>0&&SuffixTemplate.search("{AdGroupName}")==-1) {
                               var campaignIterator=_CAMPAIGN_CONTAINS==""?AdsApp.campaigns().withCondition("Status = "+STATUS).get():AdsApp.campaigns().withCondition("Name contains '"+_CAMPAIGN_CONTAINS+"'").withCondition("Status = "+STATUS).get();
                               if (!campaignIterator.hasNext()) {
                                               Logger.log("No Campaigns matched with this condition");
                                               return
                               }
                               while (campaignIterator.hasNext()) {
                                               var campaign=campaignIterator.next();
                                               var campaigntemplate=SuffixTemplate.replace(/{CampaignName}/g,campaign.getName().replace(/\s/g,'%20'))
                                               campaign.urls().setFinalUrlSuffix(campaigntemplate);
                                               Logger.log(campaign.getName()+" => "+campaigntemplate)
                               }

                                               var adgrouptemplate=SuffixTemplate.replace(/{AdGroupName}/g,adgroup.getName().replace(/\s/g,'%20'))

}

Hi again!

I have found what the problem was: the script was working fine but throwing errors when trying to act on campaigns that had been removed. These campaigns cannot be edited, so the script could not perform its job on them.

Thanks anyway to everyone!

Cheers,

Pere
