Introduction
Paid Search accounts can stop serving for any number of reasons - payment issues, disapprovals etc… the list goes on. When this happens unexpectedly and is not picked up immediately, the consequences can be dire. Rest easy knowing that this workflow will alert you to this situation, even when you’re manually checking the account every day.

Workflow Logic Explained:
1. Step One - Did the account have impressions 7 days ago?
- (If no, ignore the account)
- (If yes, proceed to Step Two)
2. Step Two - Did the account record 0 impressions yesterday?
- (If no, ignore the account)
- OUTPUT: If yes, the account had impressions 7 days ago but is no longer running, which often indicates an issue. The workflow will send an alert to the Insights Dashboard and also an email.
