Tips

Account Management:
  • Always start GMC workflows with account selection
  • Cache account lists for repeated operations on same accounts
  • Use descriptive names to make account selection easier
  • Test with single accounts before running on multiple accounts
Selection Strategy:
  • Start broad, then narrow - select all, then filter as needed
  • Use search terms to quickly find relevant accounts
  • Consider time zones when scheduling automated workflows
  • Check account types to avoid test account data in production reports
Workflow Integration:
  • Pass selected accounts to subsequent GMC operations
  • Validate account access before running expensive operations
  • Handle account errors gracefully in automated workflows
  • Document account purposes for team collaboration
Performance:
  • Free operation - use liberally for account discovery
  • Quick execution - suitable for real-time account selection
  • No rate limits on account selection itself
  • Combine with conditional logic to route workflows by account properties
