# Select Accounts

> Select Google Search Console properties to use in other nodes

The **Select Accounts** node lets you define which Google Search Console properties to use in downstream nodes. You can select them manually, fetch all available, or use filters. This is an **AI-powered node** that can understand natural language instructions.

This node simplifies workflows with multiple Google Search Console steps by centralizing property selection.

***

## When to Use It

Use this node when:

* You want to avoid selecting the same GSC properties in every report node
* You're building larger workflows and want to manage property selection dynamically
* You need to reuse a filtered group of properties based on naming or URL
* Building an AI agent that needs to list properties before running reports

***

## Inputs

| Field              | Type            | Required             | Description                                                      |
| ------------------ | --------------- | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Selection Mode** | Select dropdown | Yes                  | Choose how to define your properties: manual, all, or filtered   |
| **Properties**     | Multi-select    | Yes (manual)         | Manually select GSC properties to use in later nodes             |
| **Filters**        | Text filter     | Yes (if filter mode) | Filter properties by name or URL using text conditions           |
| **Limit**          | Number          | No                   | Max number of properties to return in **filter** or **all** mode |

***

## Selection Modes

* **Manual Selection**: Pick specific properties one by one
* **Select All Available**: Automatically includes all GSC properties tied to the authenticated connection
* **Filter by Name/URL**: Define rules (e.g., "URL contains 'example.com'") to select properties dynamically

The **Properties**, **Filters**, and **Limit** fields will appear or hide automatically based on your selection mode.

***

## Output

The node returns the selected **property URLs** and **property information** under a `data` key. You can reference this in any downstream Google Search Console node.

**Property Selection Output:**

* **Property URLs**: Unique identifiers for selected properties
* **Property Names**: Human-readable names for each property
* **Property Type**: Website, Android app, or iOS app
* **Verification Status**: Whether the property is verified
* **Permission Level**: Your access level (owner, full user, restricted user)

***

## Credit Cost

* **Cost per run**: 0 credits (property selection is free)

***

## Example Usage

```plaintext theme={"dark"}
Select Accounts →
Get Report →
AI Analysis →
Email Report
```

**Configuration Example:**

* **Selection Mode**: Filter by URL
* **Filter**: "URL contains 'mysite.com'"
* **Limit**: 3 properties

This would select up to 3 GSC properties with "mysite.com" in their URL.

***

To use this node, you need:

* **Google Search Console access**: At least restricted user permissions

## FAQs

<Accordion title="Why can't I see all my Search Console properties?">
  Make sure you have the correct permissions for each property. You need at least **Restricted User** access to view property data. Also verify that you're logged in with the correct Google account that has access to your properties.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="What's the difference between property URL and property name?">
  * **Property URL**: The exact URL or identifier used in Search Console (e.g., "[https://example.com/](https://example.com/)")
  * **Property Name**: A human-readable name, often the same as the URL

  Always use property URLs for reliable automation as they are the unique identifiers.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Can I select both website and app properties?">
  Yes, you can select a mix of website properties, Android app properties, and iOS app properties. The node will show the property type for each one to help you distinguish between them.
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="Why is a property showing as unverified?">
  Properties may appear unverified if:

  * **Verification expired**: DNS or file verification needs to be renewed
  * **Verification method removed**: HTML tag or file was accidentally removed
  * **Domain changes**: Recent changes to your website may have affected verification
  * **Permission changes**: Your access level may have been modified
</Accordion>

<Accordion title="How often is the property list updated?">
  The property list is refreshed every time you run this node. If you've recently verified new properties or gained access to existing ones, run this node again to see the updated list.
