Get Report
Fetch Microsoft Ads data based on specified metrics and dimensions
The Get Report node lets you fetch Microsoft Ads performance data across one or more accounts using specified metrics, dimensions, and filters. This is an AI-powered node that can understand natural language instructions.
When to Use It
Use this node to:
- Generate automated performance reports and dashboards
- Track campaign metrics and KPIs over time
- Create data-driven insights for optimization decisions
- Export data for further analysis in external tools
Inputs
| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts | Dynamic multi-select | Yes | Select one or more Microsoft Ads accounts to query |
| Date Range | Date range picker | Yes | Select date range for the report |
| Metrics | Multi-select | Yes | Select metrics to include in the report |
| Dimensions | Multi-select | No | Select dimensions to segment your data |
| Filters | Rule-based filters | No | Add filters to refine your data |
| Order By | Sort configuration | No | Set the order of results |
| Limit | Number | No | Maximum number of rows to return |
| Options | Report options | No | Additional options for the report |
Filters
Filters allow you to refine your data by applying conditions to specific dimensions or metrics. Multiple filters use AND logic - all conditions must be met for a row to be included in the results.
Available Filter Operators
| Operator | Description | Example Use Case |
|---|---|---|
| EQUALS | Exact match | Campaign name equals “Holiday Campaign” |
| NOT_EQUALS | Does not match exactly | Campaign status not equals “Paused” |
| CONTAINS | Contains substring | Campaign name contains “2024” |
| NOT_CONTAINS | Does not contain substring | Campaign name doesn’t contain “test” |
| IN_LIST | Matches any value in list | Campaign type in [“Search”, “Shopping”] |
| NOT_IN_LIST | Doesn’t match any value in list | Device not in [“Tablet”] |
| REGEXP_MATCH | Matches regular expression | Campaign name matches ”.(holiday|season).” |
| NOT_REGEXP_MATCH | Doesn’t match regex | Campaign name doesn’t match “test.*“ |
| GREATER_THAN | Numeric greater than | Impressions > 1000 |
| LESS_THAN | Numeric less than | Cost < 500 |
| IS_NULL | Field has no value | Conversion value is null |
| IS_NOT_NULL | Field has a value | Conversion value is not null |
Filter Examples
Example 1: Active campaigns with decent performance
Example 2: Seasonal campaigns using regex (OR logic)
Example 3: Exclude test campaigns
OR Logic with Filters
Since multiple filters use AND logic, use these approaches for OR conditions:
- IN_LIST operator:
Campaign type IN ["Search", "Shopping", "Audience"] - REGEXP_MATCH operator:
Campaign name REGEXP_MATCH ".*(holiday|season|winter).*" - Run separate queries: Create different workflows for different conditions
Options Reference
These optional settings let you format the output from Microsoft Ads before passing it to other nodes.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Pretty Column Names | Converts column headers to Title Case (e.g. campaignName becomes Campaign Name) |
| Add Percent Sign to Ratios | Appends % to ratio metrics like CTR or Engagement Rate |
| Display Currency Symbol | Adds $ or local currency symbol to monetary metrics |
| Compact Numbers | Converts large numbers to short format (e.g. 10K instead of 10,000) |
| Pivot Dimensions as Columns | Transforms dimension values into separate columns for easier comparison |
Output
The node returns a structured dataset with performance metrics and dimensions. The exact format depends on your configuration and the data returned from Microsoft Ads.
Typical Output Structure:
- Data Rows: Performance metrics and dimensions
- Metadata: Account information, date ranges, and query details
- Summary Statistics: Total records, data freshness, execution time
Can be passed to:
- AI nodes like Analyze Data or Structured Output
- Export nodes (e.g., Google Sheets)
- Email or Slides nodes
Credit Cost
- Cost per run: 1 credit (per successful execution)
Example Setup
Configuration Example:
- Date Range: Last 7 days
- Metrics: Impressions, Clicks, Cost, Conversions
- Dimensions: Campaign Name, Date
- Filters: Impressions > 0 (only active campaigns)
- Limit: 1000 rows
FAQs
What happens if I select multiple Microsoft Ads accounts?
What happens if I select multiple Microsoft Ads accounts?
The data will be aggregated across all selected accounts into a single dataset.
If you’d like to break it out by account, add the account_name or account_id dimension to segment results per account.
How do I combine filters with OR logic?
How do I combine filters with OR logic?
Multiple filters always use AND logic (all conditions must be true). For OR logic, use:
Option 1: IN_LIST operator
Option 2: REGEXP_MATCH operator
Option 3: Run separate workflows Create different Get Report nodes for different conditions, then combine the data downstream.
What's the difference between CONTAINS and REGEXP_MATCH?
What's the difference between CONTAINS and REGEXP_MATCH?
- CONTAINS: Simple substring search.
Campaign name CONTAINS "holiday"finds any campaign with “holiday” anywhere in the name - REGEXP_MATCH: Advanced pattern matching.
Campaign name REGEXP_MATCH "^holiday.*"finds campaigns that START with “holiday”
Use CONTAINS for simple text searches, REGEXP_MATCH for complex patterns or OR conditions.
Why are my filters not working?
Why are my filters not working?
Common filter issues:
- Case sensitivity: “Holiday” ≠ “holiday”. Use CONTAINS or regex for flexible matching
- Data type mismatch: Don’t use text operators on numeric fields
- Field availability: Not all dimensions/metrics support all filter operators
- Syntax errors: Check regex patterns for proper escaping
Why am I missing conversions?
Why am I missing conversions?
Conversion data might lag behind the UI due to the conversion window.
For example, with a 30-day window, conversions can change long after the click date.
Compare data only after the window closes to ensure accuracy.
Why is my data different from the Microsoft Ads UI?
Why is my data different from the Microsoft Ads UI?
Data discrepancies can occur due to:
- Reporting delays: Microsoft Ads data can take up to 24-48 hours to finalize
- Attribution windows: Different attribution models may show different results
- Time zones: Ensure your date range matches the account’s time zone
- Filters: Check if you have different filters applied in the UI vs API
Why is my report returning no data?
Why is my report returning no data?
Common causes of empty results:
- Date range: The selected period may have no activity
- Filters: Your filters may be too restrictive
- Account status: Campaigns may be paused or inactive
- Metrics compatibility: Some metric/dimension combinations aren’t supported
- Permissions: You may lack access to specific campaigns or account data
Why are some metrics showing as zero?
Why are some metrics showing as zero?
Zero values can indicate:
- No activity: The campaigns genuinely had no performance for those metrics
- Conversion tracking: Conversion metrics require proper tracking setup
- Dimension compatibility: Some dimensions don’t work with certain metrics
- Attribution: Different attribution models may show different values
Why are certain campaign types missing data?
Why are certain campaign types missing data?
Microsoft Ads has restrictions with certain report types:
- Goals, Keyword and Product Dimension reports don’t support “Shopping”, “Dynamic Search”, or “Audience” campaign types
- Keyword reports don’t support ad groups of type “Dynamic”
- Performance Max campaign data is only available via the Campaign report
- Paused campaigns may not be visible if the report type is less than the “Campaign” level
Why are Goals only showing for conversion metrics?
Why are Goals only showing for conversion metrics?
Goals are only attributed to conversion metrics in Microsoft Ads, not to other fields like:
- Spend
- Clicks
- Impressions
This is how Microsoft Advertising’s Goal reporting works by design.
