Is it Possible to Remove Sitelinks From an Account Using Ads Scripts?

[Finn Harnett O'Meara]

Hi,

Is it possible to remove campaign level sitelinks using Google Scripts? I know you can use .removeSitelink() on a campaign or by using .setEndDate() but is it possible to actually delete them from the account?

Also can you use .removeSitelink() to remove all sitelinks associated with a particular campaign without specifying the sitelink id?

Also what is the best way of removing sitelinks that have no associations?

Thank you

Ignore the second point, I misunderstood the documentation

Hello,

Removing a sitelink from an account, campaign or ad group is effectively deleting the sitelink from the account. You can remove all sitelinks from a campaign with the following code without referencing the sitelink ID:

function main() {
  
  var campaign = AdsApp.campaigns().withCondition("Name = 'CAMPAIGN_NAME'").get().next();   
  var sitelinks = campaign.extensions().sitelinks().get();
  
  while(sitelinks.hasNext()) {
  
    var sitelink = sitelinks.next();
    campaign.removeSitelink(sitelink);
    
  }  
}

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Regards,

Hi, 

Thanks for the response. Is there a way to actually delete the sitelink entity. If I remove sitelinks from a campaign the actual sitelink entity will still exist in the account right? Is there a way to remove it with a script? I know it is possible through the interface.

Thank you,

Finn

Hi Finn,

At the moment, it is only possible to remove sitelink extensions through Scripts. If we make any relevant changes, we will post about it on our blog.

If you have any questions about removing or deleting sitelinks in the UI, please reach out to product support here.
