Getting Started
AdUnitAI automatically scrapes news headlines, uses AI to generate relevant ad copy, and stores the results in your Google Sheet.
Required Information
- Google Sheet ID: The ID of your Google Sheet where the data will be stored. You can find this in the URL of your sheet:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/YOUR_SHEET_ID_HERE/edit
- News Website URL: The full URL of the news website to scrape headlines from (e.g., https://www.bbc.com/news)
- Scraping Frequency: How often (in minutes) the system should check for new headlines
Google Sheets Setup
The application needs access to your Google Sheet. Make sure:
- You've created a Google Sheet that you want to use for storing the ad copy
- You've shared the sheet with the service account email (provided to you separately)
- The sheet has edit permissions for the service account
Customizing AI Prompts
You can customize how the AI generates ad copy by modifying the prompt. The default prompt will create 4-6 word ad copy based on the most relevant headline.
Troubleshooting
- If headlines aren't being scraped properly, try a different news website or check if the website structure has changed
- If the Google Sheet isn't updating, verify that your Sheet ID is correct and that you've shared the sheet with the service account
- For any other issues, check the application logs for more detailed error information
