What campaign types that are supported via the standard Campaign Selector?

 

Unfortunately, only search and display campaigns are supported in the standard campaign selector.

For other campaign types you should use the specific selectors (such as ShoppingCampaignSelector for shopping and VideoCampaignSelector for video campaigns).

Aside from those, the following campaigns are not yet supported in any campaign selector within Google Ads scripts:

    • discovery
    • local campaigns
    • Performance Max.

For now, you can only retrieve data for these campaign types via AdsApp.search / report.

Here’s an example code snippet on how to use GAQL to get the number of clicks for your Performance Max campaigns

function main() {

  var nrOfCampaigns = 0;
   
  var query =
      "SELECT " +
      "campaign.name, campaign.advertising_channel_type, metrics.clicks " +
      "FROM campaign "+
      "WHERE campaign.status = ENABLED AND campaign.advertising_channel_type = PERFORMANCE_MAX AND segments.date DURING THIS_MONTH";
 
  try {
    var result = AdsApp.search(query);

    while (result.hasNext()) {
      var row = result.next();
      Logger.log("CampaignName: '"+row.campaign.name+"' , Clicks: "+row.metrics.clicks);
      nrOfCampaigns++;
    }
  } catch (e) {
   Logger.log("### ERROR: "+e);
  }
 
  Logger.log("\nNumber of enabled PMax campaigns: "+nrOfCampaigns);
}
