Campaign auction insights in Google ads scripts

[Giorgos Iliopoulos]

Hello, 

I want to write a google ads script to pull the Impression share of previous days of my Brand campaign.

Are Auction insights available in Google ads scripts?

Thank you!

Hi Giorgos,

 

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads Scripts Forum Channel.

 

Could you please confirm if you are aiming to report on Auction Insights metrics? If yes, I'm afraid that reporting on metrics for Auction Insights via Google Ads Scripts whose reporting infrastructure is backed by the Google Ads API and uses GAQL is unsupported yet. There already is a request for the field to be exposed, however, please do note that our team would be unable to provide a definite timeline with regard to it's release. We would instead recommend you keep an eye on our Ads Developer Blog for future updates and latest announcements.

Hello,

Basically what I want is to write a script that get's the Impression share from a campaign and if it is below a specific percentage, it will send a Slack alert. I assume that this is not possible?

Thank you!

you can use the campaign selector to get the campaigns that an impression share that is below your target, ie: 

var TARGET_IMPRESSION_SHARE = 0.9; // 90%
var campaignSelector = AdsApp.campaigns().withCondition(`metrics.search_impression_share < $TARGET_IMPRESSION_SHARE`).withCondition(`campaign.status = ENABLED`).forDateRange(`LAST_7_DAYS`).get();

then you can add these campaigns and stats to a message that you can send to Slack.

In the past, I've done so via an email address for the slack channel that you want the message to be sent to, 

see details: https://slack.com/help/articles/206819278-Send-emails-to-Slack#:~:text=From%20your%20desktop%2C%20open%20a,channel%5D%20or%20%5Bconversation%5D.

not sure if this still works,

Hope this helps,
