How to create a budget depletion alert in Adwords

This script will send to you an alert each time a daily budget goes depleted in any campaign of your Google Adwords account. This is a very powerful tool, since it will allow you to act inmediately by increasing the daily budget and/or reducing your CPCs. To create this alert, follow these steps:

1. Go into your Google Adwords account, and then go to Campaigns > Bulk operations > Scripts > + Script

2. Copy and paste this code:

function main() {
var text_email = "";
var campaignsIterator = AdWordsApp.campaigns().forDateRange("TODAY").get();
while (campaignsIterator.hasNext()) {
var campaign = campaignsIterator.next();
var stats = campaign.getStatsFor("TODAY");
var name = campaign.getName();
var cost = stats.getCost();
var budget = campaign.getBudget();
if (cost >= budget) {
var text_email = text_email+"<tr><td style='text-align:right;'>"+name+"</td>
<td style='font-weight:strong'>Gasto: "+cost+"</td></tr>";
}
}
var table = "<table>"+text_email+"</table>";
if (text_email!="") {
MailApp.sendEmail({
to: 'youremail@gmail.com',
subject: 'Depleted Budget Alert',
htmlBody: text_email,
})
Logger.log(text_email);
}
}

3. Program the script to be run each hour. When a daily budget goes depleted, an email will arrive to you with the subject "Depleted Budget Alert", with all the details of that campaign.
