Google Ads Scripts setup

Connect Google Ads Scripts only after verified row state exists.

Google Ads Scripts are the last mile for final URL suffix updates. The setup should make scripts read verified conclusions, skip unsafe rows, and log every campaign-facing decision before mutation is enabled.

Direct answer

How should Google Ads Scripts use Link Peeler state?

Google Ads Scripts should use Link Peeler state by reading the active source, filtering to verified rows, skipping failed or stale conclusions, applying final URL suffix changes only after review, and logging which rows were consumed for campaign mutation.

Risk query

Active source

Discover whether the account uses Sheets or platform API mode.

Workflow query

Map account

Confirm the Google Ads account or MCC context the script will operate inside.

Decision query

Input

Verified final URL and conclusion state.

Script contract

Give scripts a stable contract instead of raw spreadsheet assumptions.

Scripts should not decide whether a tracking link is trustworthy. They should consume the evidence produced earlier in the workflow.

01

Active source

Discover whether the account uses Sheets or platform API mode.

02

Verified rows

Read rows with valid conclusions and current final URL evidence.

03

Exclusions

Skip failed, skipped, stale, changed, or unknown rows.

04

Dry run

Log campaign and suffix decisions before mutation is enabled.

05

Mutation block

Keep campaign update logic separate from state-fetching logic.

06

Audit output

Preserve a record of which verified rows drove campaign changes.

Script setup

Scripts should consume evidence, not create it.

The setup makes campaign mutation the final step after source mapping, desktop resolution, and operator review.

01

Map account

Confirm the Google Ads account or MCC context the script will operate inside.

02

Fetch state

Read verified rows from the configured Link Peeler source.

03

Filter rows

Keep only rows with valid conclusion and final URL suffix values.

04

Dry-run output

Log campaign IDs, row IDs, and planned suffix changes.

05

Enable mutation

After review, apply updates through account-specific campaign lookup logic.

Raw script vs verified script

The same script language can be risky or controlled.

The difference is whether the script consumes validated state or guesses from raw inputs.

Decision point
Typical approach
Link Peeler approach
Input
Raw tracking URLs and manually edited columns.
Verified final URL and conclusion state.
Failure handling
Failures can remain in the update set.
Unsafe rows are explicitly skipped.
Audit
Operators reconstruct updates after performance changes.
Script logs and row state explain what happened.
Implementation brief

The operational evidence this page gives searchers and operators.

Each topic page now repeats the core answer in several machine-readable shapes: risks, workflow checkpoints, and decision criteria. The content stays useful for humans while giving crawlers stronger entities and internal anchors.

Scripts setup FAQ

Questions about Google Ads Scripts setup.

Does Link Peeler replace Google Ads Scripts?

No. Link Peeler creates verified row state. Scripts can still perform the campaign-specific mutation.

Should scripts run in dry-run mode first?

Yes. Dry-run logs should match the intended campaign update set before mutation is enabled.

Can scripts support Sheets and platform API?

Yes. Scripts can discover the active data channel and consume the same verified-state model.
