How do I list Google Ads ad groups?

Short answer: You can list ad groups in Google Ads by hand from its own interface, but it won’t repeat itself. On TinyCommand, add the Google Ads List Ad Groups action to a workflow, map its 3 inputs from any upstream app, and it runs automatically every time the trigger fires. No code, and a free tier to start.

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 run history shows the failed step with its input and the error message Google Ads returned, so you can fix the input and run the workflow again. Automatic retries are built into HTTP steps only, where you can also set your own retry count and delay.

Does List Ad Groups support batch operations?

Run List Ad Groups inside a loop to process each item in an array. TinyCommand does not throttle calls for you, so for large arrays add a Delay step if you need to stay within Google Ads's rate limits.
