Google Ads Script - Include/ Exclude Campaigns

[Nick G]

Hi there, 

Hoping someone can assist me. I would like to double-check whether I've structured both the include & excludeCampaignNameContains variants correctly below? I'm pretty sure 'include' is correct, as when I run the script it's not returning any errors. However, I'm not confident about 'exclude' as I'm not receiving any feedback.

Just to give some context: I'm trying to assign 24/7 bid modifiers to a single campaign - "bwr | 35-54 | f | personal". I've included an article link below if more reference is needed. 

Do I then need to exclude ALL other campaigns that I don't want the bidding to apply? I'm concerned if I leave "excludeCampaignNameContains" blank that it will adjust bids across the account. Should I have to include all campaigns, is it possible to use terms generic across the campaigns (i.e brand, loan, invest, competitor), rather than the full campaign names?

Any direction would be appreciated.

Hi Nick,

Since this is a third party script, I would recommend reaching out to the script author, since they will be in the best position to assist. 

Please note that the selector,

AdsApp.campaigns().withCondition("Name DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_IGNORE_CASE '' " ); //note that the characters following DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_IGNORE_CASE are two single quotes without a space

will contain zero entities.

However, the selector

AdsApp.campaigns().withCondition("Name DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_IGNORE_CASE ' ' " ); //note the space between the single quotes

Will return all campaigns that do not a space in their name. 

Regards,

Matt
