addAdSchedule(adSchedule)

Creates an ad schedule criterion from an ad schedule object. Once created, the campaign will start showing ads during the specified time.

When called with one argument, addAdSchedule supports two kinds of input:

  • Existing AdSchedule objects, perhaps from another campaign:
     var 
      
     campaigns 
      
     = 
      
     AdsApp 
     . 
     videoCampaigns 
     () 
     . 
     get 
     (); 
     var 
      
     campaign1 
      
     = 
      
     campaigns 
     . 
     next 
     (); 
     var 
      
     campaign2 
      
     = 
      
     campaigns 
     . 
     next 
     (); 
     var 
      
     schedule 
      
     = 
      
     campaign1 
     . 
     targeting 
     () 
     . 
     adSchedules 
     () 
     . 
     get 
     () 
     . 
     next 
     (); 
     campaign2 
     . 
     addAdSchedule 
     ( 
     schedule 
     ); 
    
  • Plain JavaScript objects describing an ad schedule. For instance, this will create an ad schedule covering Saturday mornings:
     var 
      
     campaign 
      
     = 
      
     AdsApp 
     . 
     videoCampaigns 
     () 
     . 
     get 
     () 
     . 
     next 
     (); 
     campaign 
     . 
     addAdSchedule 
     ({ 
      
     dayOfWeek 
     : 
      
     "SATURDAY" 
     , 
      
     startHour 
     : 
      
     7 
     , 
      
     startMinute 
     : 
      
     0 
     , 
      
     endHour 
     : 
      
     11 
     , 
      
     endMinute 
     : 
      
     0 
     , 
      
     bidModifier 
     : 
      
     1.1 
     }); 
    
    This will look at the following properties of the given object:
    • dayOfWeek : Required.Must be one of "MONDAY" , "TUESDAY" , "WEDNESDAY" , "THURSDAY" , "FRIDAY" , "SATURDAY" , or "SUNDAY" .
    • startHour and startMinute : Required.The starting time of this segment of the ad schedule. startHour must be an integer between 0 and 23 , and startMinute must be either 0 , 15 , 30 , or 45 . For instance, a startHour of 18 and a startMinute of 30 would result in an ad schedule starting at 6:30PM. Acceptable starting times range from 00:00 to 23:45 .
    • endHour and endMinute : Required.The ending time of this segment of the ad schedule. endHour must be an integer between 0 and 24 , and endMinute must be either 0 , 15 , 30 , or 45 . For instance, a endHour of 18 and a endMinute of 30 would result in an ad schedule ending at 6:30PM. Acceptable ending times range from 00:15 to 24:00 .
    • bidModifier : Optional.The bid modifier for this segment of the ad schedule.

One thing to keep in mind is that, by default, campaigns have no ad schedule criteria and hence serve ads at all times. Adding the first ad schedule to a campaign will cause ads to be shown during that time only.

There is a limit of 6 ad schedules for each day of the week — for instance, splitting up each day into 6 4-hour-long periods is supported, but splitting up each day into 24 1-hour-long periods is not.

Arguments:

Name Type Description
adSchedule
Object The schedule to create.

Return values:

Type Description
AdsApp.AdScheduleOperation The associated ad schedule operation.

addAdSchedule(dayOfWeek, startHour, startMinute, endHour, endMinute, bidModifier)

Creates an ad schedule criterion. Once created, the campaign will start showing ads during the specified time.

For instance, this will create an ad schedule covering Saturday mornings:

 var

 videoCampaigns 
 () 
 . 
 get 
 () 
 . 
 next 
 (); 
 campaign 
 .

 ( 
 "SATURDAY" 
 , 
  
 7 
 , 
  
 0 
 , 
  
 11 
 , 
  
 0 
 ); 

This will create the same schedule, but with a bid modifier of 1.1 :

 var 
  
 campaign 
  
 = 
  
 AdsApp 
 . 
 videoCampaigns 
 () 
 . 
 get 
 () 
 . 
 next 
 (); 
 campaign 
 . 
 addAdSchedule 
 ( 
 "SATURDAY" 
 , 
  
 7 
 , 
  
 0 
 , 
  
 11 
 , 
  
 0 
 , 
  
 1.1 
 ); 

One thing to keep in mind is that, by default, campaigns have no ad schedule criteria and hence serve ads at all times. Adding the first ad schedule to a campaign will cause ads to be shown during that time only.

There is a limit of 6 ad schedules for each day of the week — for instance, splitting up each day into 6 4-hour-long periods is supported, but splitting up each day into 241-hour-long periods is not.
