Workflow

A controlled path from offer row to verified ad update.

The system keeps each boundary explicit: public website, auth and billing, cloud data plane, desktop execution, and external scripts.

Sequence

No hidden magic between the spreadsheet, the browser, and Google Ads.

Each step can be inspected, retried, and reasoned about without direct inbound access to the desktop.

  • 1. Select source Choose Google Sheets or platform API as the active data channel.
  • 2. Queue work Scheduled jobs, manual actions, and external API requests create explicit task records.
  • 3. Execute locally The desktop pulls work outbound and resolves links in the local runtime.
  • 4. Write results Validated final links and conclusions return to the selected source.
  • 5. Update ads Google Ads scripts can sync suffix changes from the verified row state.

Click through the production path before a campaign changes.

The public workflow page now shows the same boundaries operators need in production: source ownership, queue creation, desktop execution, result writeback, and Google Ads consumption.

source selected

Choose the active row system.

Operators decide whether the row lives in Google Sheets for visible review or in platform API mode for hosted state and external systems.

evidence 01 source mode and row identity are explicit.
source.mode -> google_sheets_or_platform_api
row.identity -> locked_before_writeback
Source contract Tracking URL, expected destination, row identity, owner, and schedule context stay attached to the row.
row evidence
Relay contract Manual jobs, scheduled work, and signed API Links become task records instead of hidden side effects.
queue evidence
Desktop contract The desktop pulls work outbound and resolves redirects with local browser, proxy, device, and referer context.
runtime evidence
Result contract Final URL, conclusion, error, skip reason, redirect context, and checked time return to the active source.
state evidence
Runtime map
Website

SEO pages, login, registration, pricing, account, downloads.

Auth

Google website login, desktop password setup, sessions, membership.

Relay

External APIs, signed requests, quotas, idempotency, row state.

Desktop

Browser execution, resolution workers, cache, device auth.

Scripts

Google Ads and Sheets automation consume the stable contracts.

Evidence contract

Every workflow stage creates a field another system can trust.

A strong link operations workflow is not a chain of screenshots. It is a set of state transitions that can be audited by an operator, a script, or an external platform.

Source fields Tracking URL and expected destination

The source row carries enough intent to decide whether the resolved destination is acceptable.

Queue fields Task id, trigger, and idempotency key

Queued work is traceable whether it was created manually, by schedule, or by a signed external request.

Runtime fields Device, method, proxy, and checked time

Desktop execution context stays visible so operators can explain redirect differences across environments.

Result fields Final URL, conclusion, error, and skip reason

Google Ads scripts can filter unknown, failed, stale, or skipped rows before any final URL suffix mutation.

How it works

A repeatable workflow for Google Ads final URL suffix automation.

The goal is not just to fetch a URL. The goal is to make every update explainable: which source supplied the row, which context was used, what redirect result was found, and which script consumed the verified state.

Stage
Operational question
Link Peeler answer
Source
Where does the offer row live?
Google Sheets for user-owned rows or platform API for hosted rows.
Execution
Where should redirects be resolved?
On the desktop, where browser, proxy, and referer behavior can be controlled.
Sync
How does Google Ads receive the result?
Scripts read the active data channel and update final URL suffixes from verified row state.
Workflow FAQ

Process details for operators and engineers.

Why avoid inbound desktop calls?

Outbound polling is easier to deploy, avoids exposing a user machine to the public internet, and still lets cloud APIs queue work for desktop execution.

What happens when a workflow switches source modes?

The account stores the active data channel. Scripts discover that channel first, so teams can switch between Google Sheets and platform API without rewriting automation.

Where are task results stored?

Results return to the selected source. In platform mode, cloud row state tracks results; in Google Sheets mode, the desktop writes back to the configured sheet.

Can this support scheduled checks?

Yes. Rows and runtime config can carry schedule information so recurring final link checks are handled by the desktop workflow.
