Alert | Monitoring | Save costs | Read-only |
Examples of checks
Different checks can be carried out for different key figures for each campaign. For example:
- Number of conversions yesterday must be greater than 2000.
- Costs of the last 7 days must be between €200,000 and €300,000.
- Deviation of the number of conversions in the last 7 days from the previous week must not exceed +/- 30%.
- Deviation of the number of conversions in the last 28 days from the previous period must not exceed +/- 15%.
If at least one test fails, you will receive an alarm e-mail listing all the problems found.
Example alarm e-mail
In this alert email, the problem was recognized that the costs of the campaign “Search Prio” of the last 2 days were more than 30% higher than in the comparison period (previous week). Diagrams with (configurable) key figures are always displayed under the detected problems.
Click on "alerteIncrease" to go directly to the "alerteIncrease" parameter in the Campaign metrics out of limits alerts script config sheet, so that you can immediately adjust the "30%" for alerteIncrease or other parameters. By clicking on "Google Ads Account" you are immediately in the Google Ads account of Demo AG. cost_micros is Google's metric name for the costs.
Configuration
It is advisable to monitor several key figures for each account and for each campaign. If several unauthorized deviations are detected, you will receive all of them together in one email.
