- ignorePausedCampaigns is a setting that allows you to choose whether to include or exclude currently paused campaigns from the duplicate ad check.
- If checkUrl is true, the script will only consider ads as duplicates if they have the same final URL and ad copy. If false, ads with different landing pages but the same ad copy will also be considered duplicates.
- metric is the stat used to pick the best ad from the duplicates. You can choose from CTR, clicks, impressions, cost, average CPC, and conversions.
- caseSensitive is a setting that allows you to choose whether to consider capitalization when comparing ad text. If true, ads with the same text but different capitalization will be treated differently. If false, they will be treated as duplicates.
