I don’t think there is an option for that. You can write a custom script for that and set a frequency to it based on your need.

Only ever done this for pausing/enabling ads, but you can check Rules.

So, i was gonna post something about how that it can be done via scripts and link to the resources, but instead i just made the script.
This will get the job done, but the mail will be ugly as hell as i cant be arsed to format it properly for aesthetics, if you want and got some coding experience you can format it properly at the step before the mail is sent.
(right now it’ll just add a phrase (variable called result) into an array and then mail the array as is)

NOTE: This is a MCC-level script, if you want to run it at account-level (eg. add it to just a single account) comment out/remove lines 7,8 and 9 (below the comment).
I also recommend you add this script via another account so that the ‘from’ field in the mail is shown, else it’ll be a mail from you to you and that can mess things up (Have had problems with this in other cases)

edit:
Forgot to mention that you’d want to schedule this daily or even hourly (depending on how often you want to check)
