Stopping emails about automated rules

There are three ways to stop getting emails with updates about your rules: you can change the email settings for that particular rule, pause the rule or remove it. If your rule is email-only, then you must pause it to stop receiving emails from that rule.

Note: The instructions below are part of the new design for the Google Ads user experience. To use the previous design, click the 'Appearance' icon and select Use previous design. If you're using the previous version of Google Ads, review the Quick reference map or use the search bar in the top navigation panel of Google Ads to find the page you’re searching for.

Stopping emails for cancelled accounts

• Google Ads account: If you've canceled your Google Ads account, in most cases you can still sign back in and pause or edit rules to change your email settings as explained above.
