UPDATE 2013-04-06: Made sure that when the budgets are reset, they are divided by 30.5 to turn them into daily budgets (line 95).
UPDATE 2013-04-07: A big thank you to FoxSUP for helping me track down an issue with updating the budgets. Fixed line 78 to multiply the current budget by 1+to_change instead of just to_change. Also fixed a bug in calculating the change(line 56).
This is an update to a previous script I put together to dynamically adjust campaign budgets. There have been a few asks from some of the comments and I figured it would be easier to combine them into a new post.
The script will now keep track of the budgets you set at the beginning of the month via a Google Spreadsheet. You can also fill in the LABEL value if you only want this to operate on campaigns with that label name. Leaving it blank operates on all campaigns.
Thanks,
Russ
