FAQ

Questions about List Ad Groups.

What does the List Ad Groups action do in Google Ads?
Returns paginated ad groups within a campaign with status and performance. For granular performance reporting and for "find underperforming ad groups to pause" optimisation workflows.
What inputs does List Ad Groups require?
Required: Customer ID. Every input accepts a static value or a variable from any upstream node in your workflow.
Can I use dynamic inputs from earlier workflow nodes?
Yes. Any field on this action can pull values from upstream nodes, whether that's a form response, a trigger payload, an AI output, or a lookup result.
What happens if Google Ads returns an error?
The workflow pauses on the failed node, the error message is captured in the run log, and you can retry the run with one click. Auto-retry policies are configurable per workflow with exponential backoff up to 5 attempts.
Does List Ad Groups support batch operations?
Yes. Run List Ad Groups inside a Loop node to process arrays. Tiny Command handles Google Ads's rate limits automatically so you don't have to throttle manually.
