Example script configuration

Link to the demo configuration sheet for MerchantCenterMonitor.

Configuration

The Google account used to execute the script must also have access to the Merchant Center! Unfortunately, the Google Ads interface only shows who created the script - but this is irrelevant and may differ from the Google account with which the script is executed hourly.
In the "accountSettings" sheet, you must specify the merchant ID(s) for each Google Ads account. If a Google Ads account uses multiple Merchant Centers, please specify the Merchant Center IDs as an array.
For example: 123456789,2222222
If one or more merchant centers are contained in an advanced account (a different merchant center ID is shown in the top right-hand corner than in the top left-hand corner), then both numbers must be entered with > in between. The actual merchant center ID is on the right and the ID of the managing merchant center is on the left.
For example: 1111111111>123456789,1111111111>2222222
