Not all important information can be covered in your PPC ad copy. In order to highlight specific things about your business, ad extensions play a crucial role. Here is a script that can help you monitor your ad extensions.
Here are some of the key benefits of using ad extension:
Additional Information – Ad extensions lets you offer other information that you might miss out mentioning in your ad messaging.

How to use Google Ads Ad Extension Disapproval Alerts Script
For those who want to understand more about this script, here are the variables that you can change to customize it to your requirement.
EMAIL_RECIPIENT – Here insert the email id where you wish to receive notification about the generated report
IS_MCC_ACCOUNT : This flag is to indicate whether you will be running this script at MCC-level. By default, it is set to false. Change it to “true” if you want to use for all the linked accounts in your MCC account. The results for each account will be stored in two separate sheets – one with raw data and one has the summary. Be careful, if you have many many accounts.
FILTER_ACCOUNTS_BY_IDS – If your MCC account has tons of linked accounts, you may not wish to run this script for all account IDs then turn this flag to “true” and specify the variable in ACCOUNT_IDS_TO_SELECT. Only the account IDs mentioned here will be analyzed.
FILTER_ACCOUNTS_BY_LABEL – If your MCC account has tons of linked accounts, you may not want to run this script for all the accounts. In that case, turn this flag to “true” and then specify the label with ACCOUNT_LABEL_TO_SELECT variable. Only the accounts with the specified label will be analyzed to generate this report.

Hello Mr Manvir Singh,

Are you using the script in MCC account or in an Ad account? Also it will help us to debug if you can share all the log messages. You write us to support@karooya.com.

I have disapproved extensions (sitelinks, callouts) in a couple of accounts, but this script is not detecting them. I have tried running the script at both MCC and ad account level but it just says, “There are no disapproved ad extensions.” I also tried another account-level script I found on Github, but it also didn’t detect the disapproved extensions. Has something changed to cause these scripts to stop working?

I applied your script to MCC level on accounts with a certain label and i am getting this error:

I respected all info provided above in the article…but it does not seem to work. Is it obsolete ?
thanks

Hi Raluca,
Can you try switching off the toggle button named “New scripts experience” for this script? The toggle button is accessible towards the top right on script-editor page.
The script still uses old AdWords APIs. We will migrate it to the new Google Ads APIs soon. But, until then switching off the “New scripts experience” will work.

Hello
Is it possible to filter only Call Extensions and those which actives ?
Thanks
