Labels (and optionally pauses) campaigns that are overspending too much, and emails you a warning.

Campaign Budget Overspend Monitoring

/**
*
* Campaign Budget Overspend Monitoring
*
* This script labels campaigns whose spend today is more than their daily
* budgets. Optionally, it also pauses campaigns whose spend exceeds the
* budget by too much. An email is then sent, listing the newly labelled
* and paused campaigns.
* When spend no longer exceeds budget, the campaigns are reactivated and
* labels are removed.

// Options

var campaignNameContains = [];
// Use this if you only want to look at some campaigns.
// For example ["Generic"] would only look at campaigns with 'generic' in the name,
// while ["Generic", "Competitor"] would only look at campaigns with either
// 'generic' or 'competitor' in the name.
// Leave as [] to include all campaigns.

var campaignNameDoesNotContain = [];
// Use this if you want to exclude some campaigns.
// For example ["Brand"] would ignore any campaigns with 'brand' in the name,
// while ["Brand", "Key Terms"] would ignore any campaigns with 'brand' or
// 'key terms' in the name.
// Leave as [] to not exclude any campaigns.

var email = ["[email protected]"];
// The email address you want the hourly update to be sent to.
// If you'd like to send to multiple addresses then have them separated by commas,
// for example ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]

var currencySymbol = "£";
// Used for formatting in the email.

var thousandsSeparator = ",";
// Numbers will be formatted with this as the thousands separator.
// eg If this is ",", 1000 will appear in the email as 1,000
// If this is ".", 1000 will appear in the email as 1.000
// If this is "" 1000 will appear as 1000.

var decimalMark = ".";
// Numbers will be formatted with this as the decimal mark
// eg if this is ".", one and a half will appear in the email as 1.5
// and if this is "," it will be 1,5

var labelThreshold = 1.0;
// This is multiplied by the campaign's daily budget to create a threshold.
// If the campaign spend is higher than the threshold, it will be labelled
// (and you will be emailed).
// For example if labelThreshold = 1.0 then campaigns are labelled when
// their spend is greater than or equal to their budget.

var labelName = "Over Budget";
// The name of the label you want to apply to campaigns that have gone
// over budget.

var campaignPauser = false;
// Set this to true to pause campaigns if spend exceeds the pauseThreshold.
// Set to false if campaigns are to be kept enabled.

var pauseThreshold = 1.2;
// This is multiplied by the campaign's daily budget to create a threshold.
// If campaignPauser is true and the campaign spend is higher than this threshold,
// it will be paused (and you will be emailed).
// For example if pauseThreshold = 1.2 then campaigns are paused when
// their spend is greater than or equal to 120% of their budget.
// pauseThreshold MUST be greater than or equal to the labelThreshold, so that all
// campaigns that the script pauses are also labelled.

Thanks for the script.

This version doesn't support shared budgets.
I've modified it - https://gist.github.com/tonkikh/f724f57948fd3781a35bfdc7b5645576

Thanks a lot

This version also doesn't support shopping campaigns
