Common questions
When does the daily, weekly or monthly email arrive?
Every recap email arrives at 8:00 AM in the timezone you pick in the Timezone menu on the Ad Recap Settings screen. The timezone starts as UTC.
What is in the recap email?
What is in the Ad Recap email? The subject starts with AdRecap and names the first account, the number of changes and the dates. Inside, the email lists the accounts under Monitored Accounts, adds an AI Summary when one can be written, and shows up to 10 recent changes with who made each one. A View full dashboard button opens Ad Recap, and Manage email preferences opens Settings.
What changed last week?
Open the Ad Recap Dashboard and pick Last 7 days. The Written recap sums up the week, and the list below shows each change. If you get the weekly email, it arrives on Monday at 8:00 AM in the timezone set in Ad Recap Settings and covers the past 7 days.
Who changed it?
Each change on the Ad Recap Dashboard carries the initials of the person who made it. Hover them to see the name or email. Pick a person in the Anyone menu to see only their changes. When Google Ads or Microsoft Ads does not report a person, the Dashboard shows System and the scheduled recap email shows Unknown.
What time does the email arrive?
At 8:00 AM in the timezone picked in the Timezone menu on the Ad Recap Settings screen. It starts as UTC, so pick your own timezone to get the email at 8:00 AM your time. You cannot pick another hour.
Can a client or teammate get the email?
Yes. Add their address under Recipients on the Ad Recap Settings screen. The email covers every Connected account in the workspace, so add a client only if they may see all of those accounts.
Can I turn off the email?
Ad Recap Settings has no option to turn the recap email off. The choices under Delivery are Daily, Weekly and Monthly. You can remove addresses you added under Recipients, but the workspace's owners and admins always get the email. Members who are not owners or admins get it only when their address is on the Recipients list.
How far back can I see changes?
The Ad Recap Dashboard goes back up to 28 days, with Last 30 days. Ad Recap keeps unlimited history on a paid plan and during a trial. If your plan ends, your full history is kept for 30 days, then only the last 7 days are kept. Older changes are deleted each night and can't be restored. On the free plan, Last 14 days and Last 30 days are locked and only the last 7 days show. There is no 180-day cut-off on a paid plan. Ad Recap keeps every change it records while you are subscribed.
Is it free?
Ad Recap has a free plan with 1 ad account and the last 7 days of history. The paid plan is $19 a month per linked account and keeps unlimited history. See Is Ad Recap free? The Ad Recap free plan.
Does it delete my history when my plan ends?
Not straight away, even if you cancel. When your Ad Recap plan or trial ends, your full history is kept for 30 days. After that, only the last 7 days are kept, and older changes are deleted each night. Click Reactivate before the date shown in Ad Recap Settings to keep all of it. Upgrading later keeps unlimited history from then on, but changes already deleted can't be restored.
