Automation Rules can help you automate tedious optimization tasks, but they are also here to notify you when things don’t go as expected.
You can create a rule that will send you an email whenever one of the ad groups is outside of the required metrics as defined by your KPI. Creating such a rule will allow you to take immediate action on your campaigns, ensuring stable performance.
