Hi everyone, 

is it possible to trigger a Google Ads Script via Google Spreadsheets? 
For instance, if a specific cell shows a specific date, could the spreadsheet communicate to the Ads script directly and tell it to start running?

I'm asking to evade the frequency (hourly) a Google Ads Script is running. Spreadsheet Scripts can run on a much shorter frequency. 

Thank you in advance
Stella

Hi Stella,

Unfortunately, it is currently not supported in Google Ads scripts. You may follow our blog for any upcoming features and updates.

While you cannot do as you propose, you can circumvent the scheduling limitations using spreadsheets - In effect creating your own scheduling rules.

E.g. you could run multiple instances of the same script hourly but stop executions, if a specified value fetched from your spreadsheet is not found.
