Google Ads Skript: Hourly updates of Merchant Center feeds
Updates the feeds in the Google Merchant Centre every hour so that updates in the feed go online quickly instead of just once a day.

This script is ideal for anyone who lets download the feeds in the Google Merchant Centre once a day from the server or from a Google Spreadsheet. Updates in the feed are then not only transferred to Google Ads the next day, but at most one hour later.
Advantages of hourly feed updates
- Product price changes go online quickly. If higher prices appear in the shop than in the shopping advert, this is a conversion killer. And if the prices have been lowered, you miss out on valuable visitors and possibly conversions until the update the next day.
- Products that are no longer available are no longer advertised. Pointless costs are avoided.
- New products in the feed can be advertised.
- Product feed optimisations such as title, description etc. appear quickly in
Google Ads ad copies.

| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| ignoreFeeds | If certain feeds should not be updated you can specify this here. This is useful for old feeds, for example, which currently have no timer for automatic downloads. Example: ["123456:feed name A", "9999:feed name B"] Then the feed "feed name A" is ignored in the Google Merchant Centre with the ID 123456 and the feed "feed name B" is ignored in the Google Merchant Centre with the ID 9999. |
Note: Feeds that cannot be updated are automatically skipped.
