addAdSchedule(adSchedule)

Creates an ad schedule criterion from an ad schedule object. Once created, the shopping campaign will start showing ads during the specified time.

When called with one argument, addAdSchedule supports two kinds of input:

  • Existing AdSchedule objects, perhaps from another campaign:
    var campaigns = AdsApp.campaigns().get();
    var campaign1 = campaigns.next();
    var campaign2 = campaigns.next();
    var schedule = campaign1.targeting().adSchedules().get().next();
    campaign2.addAdSchedule(schedule);
  • Plain JavaScript objects describing an ad schedule. For instance, this will create an ad schedule covering Saturday mornings:
    var campaign = AdsApp.campaigns().get().next();
    campaign.addAdSchedule({
      dayOfWeek: "SATURDAY",
      startHour: 7,
      startMinute: 0,
      endHour: 11,
      endMinute: 0,
      bidModifier: 1.1
    });
    This will look at the following properties of the given object:
    • dayOfWeek: Required. Must be one of "MONDAY", "TUESDAY", "WEDNESDAY", "THURSDAY", "FRIDAY", "SATURDAY", or "SUNDAY".
    • startHour and startMinute: Required. The starting time of this segment of the ad schedule. startHour must be an integer between 0 and 23, and startMinute must be either 0, 15, 30, or 45. For instance, a startHour of 18 and a startMinute of 30 would result in an ad schedule starting at 6:30PM. Acceptable starting times range from 00:00 to 23:45.
    • endHour and endMinute: Required. The ending time of this segment of the ad schedule. endHour must be an integer between 0 and 24, and endMinute must be either 0, 15, 30, or 45. For instance, a endHour of 18 and a endMinute of 30 would result in an ad schedule ending at 6:30PM. Acceptable ending times range from 00:15 to 24:00.
    • bidModifier: Optional. The bid modifier for this segment of the ad schedule.

One thing to keep in mind is that, by default, campaigns have no ad schedule criteria and hence serve ads at all times. Adding the first ad schedule to a campaign will cause ads to be shown during that time only.

Arguments:

NameTypeDescription
adSchedule Object The schedule to create.

Return values:

TypeDescription
AdsApp.AdScheduleOperation The associated ad schedule operation.

addAdSchedule(dayOfWeek, startHour, startMinute, endHour, endMinute, bidModifier)

For instance, this will create an ad schedule covering Saturday mornings:

var campaign = AdsApp.campaigns().get().next();
campaign.addAdSchedule("SATURDAY", 7, 0, 11, 0);

This will create the same schedule, but with a bid modifier of 1.1:

var campaign = AdsApp.campaigns().get().next();
campaign.addAdSchedule("SATURDAY", 7, 0, 11, 0, 1.1);

One thing to keep in mind is that, by default, campaigns have no ad schedule criteria and hence serve ads at all times. Adding the first ad schedule to a campaign will cause ads to be shown during that time only.

Arguments:

NameTypeDescription
dayOfWeek String The day of week. Must be one of "MONDAY", "TUESDAY", "WEDNESDAY", "THURSDAY", "FRIDAY", "SATURDAY", or "SUNDAY".

endHour int The end hour. Must be an integer between 0 and 24. Acceptable ending times range from 00:15 to 24:00.
endMinute int The end minute. Must be either 0, 15, 30, or 45. Acceptable ending times range from 00:15 to 24:00.
bidModifier double Optional. The bid modifier to use for the newly created ad schedule.

Return values:

TypeDescription

});
This will look at the following properties of the given object:

    var campaign1 = campaigns.next();
    var campaign2 = campaigns.next();
    var proximity = campaign1.targeting().targetedProximities().get().next();
    campaign2.addProximity(proximity);
  • Plain JavaScript objects describing a proximity. For instance, this would create a proximity targeting 20km around Google headquarters:
    var campaign = AdsApp.campaigns().get().next();
    campaign.addProximity({
      latitude: 37.423021,
      longitude: -122.083739,
      radius: 20,

campaign.addProximity(37.423021, -122.083739, 20, "KILOMETERS");
Similarly, to create the same proximity target with a bid modifier and address:
