This morning, I woke up early at my houseboat to get some stuff done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got myself a coffee, watched the sun rise over the Amsterdam canals, and opened my laptop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first thought was, “WTF?!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My inbox was flooded with questions about one of my most popular scripts, the\u00a0Change History Alert script<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you don’t know the script, check out the description below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you know the script and are running it in your account(s),\u00a0you need to update to version 1.2<\/strong><\/span>!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apparently, Google made some undocumented changes in the reporting API that broke my script.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don’t worry. I’ve fixed it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(So much for my productive start of the morning…)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GOOD NEWS: The only thing you need to do is install the latest version<\/strong>. Installing the update only takes 2 minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can find it\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Be in the know (again) when someone makes changes to your account!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCRIPT:<\/strong>
Change History Alerts (V1.2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

URL:<\/strong>
https:\/\/nilsrooijmans.com\/google-ads-script-change-history-alerts\/<\/a>

WHAT IT DOES:<\/strong>
The script checks all the entries in the Google Ads change history of your account, and if there is a change by a user outside of your list of ‘recognized’ users, you will get an alert via email. The alert mail contains the number of changes and a link to the Google Sheet that lists all changes by unrecognized users.

WHY YOU CARE:<\/strong>
It is all too often people outside your team (or Google) make changes to the Google Ads accounts you manage. You want to make sure these changes are in line with your strategy ASAP. This script ensures you do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
