Adwords Campaign Budget Overspend Monitoring
/**
*
* Campaign Budget Overspend Monitoring
*
* This script labels campaigns whose spend today is more than their daily
* budgets. Optionally, it also pauses campaigns whose spend exceeds the
* budget by too much. An email is then sent, listing the newly labelled
* and paused campaigns.
* When spend no longer exceeds budget, the campaigns are reactivated and
* labels are removed.
*
* Version: 1.0
* Google AdWords Script maintained on brainlabsdigital.com

// Options
var campaignNameContains = [];
// Use this if you only want to look at some campaigns.
// For example ["Generic"] would only look at campaigns with 'generic' in the name,
// while ["Generic", "Competitor"] would only look at campaigns with either
// 'generic' or 'competitor' in the name.
// Leave as [] to include all campaigns.
var campaignNameDoesNotContain = [];
// Use this if you want to exclude some campaigns.
// For example ["Brand"] would ignore any campaigns with 'brand' in the name,
// while ["Brand", "Key Terms"] would ignore any campaigns with 'brand' or
// 'key terms' in the name.
// Leave as [] to not exclude any campaigns.
var email = ["ryan.folstad@gmail.com"];

// If you'd like to send to multiple addresses then have them separated by commas,
// for example ["aa@example.com", "bb@example.com"]
var currencySymbol = "$";
// Used for formatting in the email.
var thousandsSeparator = ",";
// Numbers will be formatted with this as the thousands separator.
// eg If this is ",", 1000 will appear in the email as 1,000
// If this is ".", 1000 will appear in the email as 1.000
// If this is "" 1000 will appear as 1000.
var decimalMark = ".";
// Numbers will be formatted with this as the decimal mark
// eg if this is ".", one and a half will appear in the email as 1.5
// and if this is "," it will be 1,5
var labelThreshold = 1.0;
// This is multiplied by the campaign's daily budget to create a threshold.
// If the campaign spend is higher than the threshold, it will be labelled
// (and you will be emailed).
// For example if labelThreshold = 1.0 then campaigns are labelled when
// their spend is greater than or equal to their budget.
var labelName = "Over Budget";
// The name of the label you want to apply to campaigns that have gone
// over budget.
var campaignPauser = true;
// Set this to true to pause campaigns if spend exceeds the pauseThreshold.
// Set to false if campaigns are to be kept enabled.
var pauseThreshold = 1.0;
// This is multiplied by the campaign's daily budget to create a threshold.

// it will be paused (and you will be emailed).
// For example if pauseThreshold = 1.2 then campaigns are paused when
// their spend is greater than or equal to 120% of their budget.
// pauseThreshold MUST be greater than or equal to the labelThreshold, so that all
// campaigns that the script pauses are also labelled.
