Save AdWords reports to a specific folder in Google Drive

If you’re an AdWords power user chances are you’ve already used scripts for automating tasks on your accounts. Here’s a quick tip for saving files generated by your AdWords scripts to specific folders in your Google Drive account. First up, before executing the main() function make sure you initialise a variable to hold your folder name (note: for this script to work the folder name needs to be unique).
// Folder name
var FOLDER_NAME = 'My-Clients-AdWords-Reports';
Then within your main() function you need to include the following lines of code:
    var spreadsheetName = spreadsheet.getName();

    var subFolder = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(FOLDER_NAME).next();
    var myFile = DriveApp.getFilesByName(spreadsheetName).next();
    var oldParent = myFile.getParents().next();

    oldParent.removeFile(myFile);
    subFolder.addFile(myFile);
Here’s what’s happening:
  • First we grab the spreadsheet name we are working on (note this relies on the ‘spreadsheet’ object which is created elsewhere in the script.)
  • Then we set the value of subFolder to the folder where we want to save the file
  • In the third line we grab the spreadsheet file we’ve created
  • In the fourth line we determine the folder where the file currently resides. By default that’s the root folder of your Google docs account.
  • In the last two lines we remove the file from it’s current folder (the root) and save it to the new folder.
For reference I’ve included the entire script below – this script is based on the Keyword Performance Report available at https://developers.google.com/adwords/scripts/docs/solutions/keyword-performance however note I’ve made some other customisations to append the time from my local timezone to the filename:
// Comma-separated list of recipients. Comment out to not send any emails.
var RECIPIENT_EMAIL = '[email protected]';

// URL of the default spreadsheet template. This should be a copy of http://goo.gl/cULxUX
var SPREADSHEET_URL = 'https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1qb8ctGzyv5Wzx2YVrhITOYxs0rtJr5QEeuiGeQ6uxfM/edit#gid=0';

// Client name
var CLIENT_NAME = 'My-Client';

// Folder name
var FOLDER_NAME = 'KeywordPerformance-' + CLIENT_NAME;

// Schedule
var REPORT_SCHEDULE = 'LAST_WEEK';

/**
 * This script computes a keyword performance report
 * and outputs it to a Google spreadsheet. The spreadsheet
 * url is logged and emailed.
 */
function main() {
    var spreadsheet = copySpreadsheet(SPREADSHEET_URL);
    var sheet = spreadsheet.getSheetByName('Report');
    var spreadsheetName = spreadsheet.getName();

    sheet.getRange(1, 2, 1, 1).setValue('Date');
    sheet.getRange(1, 3, 1, 1).setValue(new Date());
    spreadsheet.getRangeByName('account_id').setValue(AdWordsApp.currentAccount().
        getCustomerId());
    outputQualityScoreData(sheet);
    outputPositionData(sheet);
    Logger.log('Keyword performance report available at\n' +
    spreadsheet.getUrl());
    if (RECIPIENT_EMAIL) {
        MailApp.sendEmail(RECIPIENT_EMAIL,
            'Keyword Performance Report is ready',
            spreadsheet.getUrl());
    }

    var subFolder = DriveApp.getFoldersByName(FOLDER_NAME).next();
    var myFile = DriveApp.getFilesByName(spreadsheetName).next();
    var oldParent = myFile.getParents().next();

    oldParent.removeFile(myFile);
    subFolder.addFile(myFile);
}

/**
 * Calculates local time based on UTC
 * @param {string} offset The URL of the spreadsheet.
 * @return {localTime} return time as a string.
 */

function calcTime(offset) {

    // create Date object for current location
    d = new Date();

    // convert to msec
    // add local time zone offset
    // get UTC time in msec
    utc = d.getTime() + (d.getTimezoneOffset() * 60000);

    // create new Date object for different city
    // using supplied offset
    nd = new Date(utc + (3600000*offset));

    var localTime = nd.toLocaleDateString('en-AU');

    // return time as a string
    return localTime;

}

    return SpreadsheetApp.openByUrl(spreadsheetUrl).copy(
        'Keyword Performance Report - '+REPORT_SCHEDULE+' - '+CLIENT_NAME+' ' + calcTime('+10') );
