Keeping spaces in campaign names and ad groups

[Dan Konig]

Hi,

I am using the following script to use campaign names and ad group names in my tracking template. The tutorial I found was replacing spaces with underscores but I am wondering if I can keep the spaces. The preview of this script seems to imply that Google sends over the campaign names and ad group names with the spaces encoded.

Script
function main(){
    let adGroups = AdsApp.adGroups().withCondition("CampaignStatus = ENABLED").get();
    while (adGroups.hasNext()) {
        let adGroup = adGroups.next();
        let group=adGroup.getName().replace(/\s/g,'%20');
        let campaign=adGroup.getCampaign().getName().replace(/\s/g,'%20');
        adGroup.urls().setCustomParameters({adgroup: group, campaign: campaign});
    }
}

Preview
Ad group custom parameters changed from {_adgroup}=adgroup%20name, {_campaign}=US%20|%20Search%20|%20Desktop%20|%20Ecampaign to {_adgroup}=adgroup%20name, {_campaign}=US%20|%20Search%20|%20Desktop%20|%20campaign

Hi Dan,

THe script above should work fine. Since custom parameters are appended to the final URL, they'll need to comply with URL formatting. URLs don't allow the space character but encode it as '%20' instead. The script above seems to do just this, so you should be fine.
