Does this script fix disapproved ads automatically?

No. It creates a review list only. Policy and copy fixes still need to be handled by a person.

Why is ad type included?

It helps you quickly see whether the issue sits in responsive search ads, legacy formats, or another ad class in the account.

Can I send alerts from this script?

Yes. This version keeps things simple, but it can be extended with email alerts after the output is validated.

Will it include paused ads?

This version is focused on enabled ads that are currently not approved, so the list stays operationally relevant.

About This Script

Disapproved Ad Checker is a straightforward script for surfacing ads that are not currently approved. It is designed for teams that need a quick policy review without navigating through multiple interface filters.

The script exports campaign name, ad group name, ad type, approval status, and ad ID into a Google Sheet. That gives you a clean working list for triage, fixes, and escalation.

This is intentionally a lightweight monitoring script rather than a full policy audit. It is useful for recurring checks after ad launches, bulk uploads, or creative refreshes.

Implementation Notes

Leave SPREADSHEET_URL blank to auto-create a report sheet, or paste your own URL.
Run the script manually once and confirm the output fields are enough for your review process.
Use the exported ad IDs and campaign context to investigate issues in the Google Ads UI.
Schedule it daily or weekly if policy issues tend to appear after launches.
If needed, extend it later with policy topic details or email alerts.
