Will "CustomerSynchService.get" operations report clearing of Target CPA and Conversion Optimizer bid mods?

[adiv...@wordstream.com]

Hello,

I've read the blog post concerning the impending clearing of platform bid modifiers for Target CPA and Conversion Optimizer campaigns that is planned to begin in late August available here:

http://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/2016/08/clearing-platform-bid-modifiers-of.html 

It's a very informative posting and my thanks to the AdWords API Team in taking the time to document this in great detail!

One question that I have concerns whether or not these changes will be reported by all-currently-supported API versions of the CustomerSynchService.

If a customer within the AdWords UI were to make the same changes in his account that are listed beneath the section in the blog posting with the heading "Here are some changes that you’ll see in your account before the new features launches", then I would expect those various changes to be available via calls to the CustomerSynchService.get operation in the data that is returne for:

CustomerSynchService.AdgroupChangeData.removedAdGroupBidModifier

CustomerSynchService.CampaignChangeData.removedCampaignCriterion

CustomerSynchService.CampaignChangeData.addedCampaignCriterion

So will the changes that AdWords makes to clear the bid modifiers be reported back via CustommerSyncService.get calls in the same way that they would if the customer had performed those same changes in the AdWords UI.

Many thanks!

Hi Al,

I'm glad you liked the post! That's helpful feedback. I don't believe these changes will show up in CustomerSyncService, but I'll double-check with the person on my team heading up this effort, and I'll get back to you.

Cheers,

Hello Nadine,

Were you able to verify whether or not these changes will show up in calls to the CustomerSyncService?

Thanks again,

Hi Al,

Sorry about the delay. I'm going to try another person on my team to see if I can get an answer on this.

Greetings Al,

Thanks for being so patient. I was able to confirm that the API's CustomerSyncService will see the changes. However, the Change History in the user interface will not have the changes visible.

Take care,
