Purpose:

The Python script pauses ad groups that have received fewer than 10 clicks in the last 60 days, provided they have been active for at least 60 days.

To Elaborate

The script is designed to manage ad group performance by identifying and pausing those that are underperforming. Specifically, it targets ad groups that have received fewer than 10 clicks over the past 60 days, ensuring that these groups have been active for at least 60 days before making any changes. This helps in optimizing ad spend by focusing resources on more effective ad groups. The script processes input data to identify such groups and updates their status to “PAUSED,” effectively halting their activity until further review or adjustment.

Walking Through the Code

1. Data Preparation: The script begins by loading data from a primary data source into a DataFrame named inputDf. It includes a commented-out section for adjusting the header row, which suggests that the data might require reformatting to ensure the correct headers are used.

2. Column Verification: The script checks if the necessary columns (Campaign, Group, Account) are present in the DataFrame. This is crucial for ensuring that the subsequent operations can be performed without errors.

3. Output DataFrame Creation: If the required columns are present, the script creates a new DataFrame, outputDf, which includes the Account, Campaign, and Group columns from the input data. It sets the Status and Group Status columns to “PAUSED” for each entry, indicating that these ad groups should be paused.

4. Error Handling: If the expected columns are not found in the adjusted DataFrame, the script raises a ValueError, alerting the user to the issue and preventing further execution.
