AD Name on Google ADS API

[Sergi Alà Pla]

Hi

I'm trying to create and AD, using the following field provided in the documentation:

name	StringValue The name of the ad. This is only used to be able to identify the ad. It does not need to be unique and does not affect the served ad.

Example: ad_group_ad.ad.name.value = "Ad - Name"

When we fill this field and execute the mutate operation, we have no problems to create the new AD, but when we try to recover this field using the query: SELECT ad_group_ad.ad.name FROM ad_group_ad the name of the AD is always empty.

Are we doing something wrong? or this field is not implemented yet?

Hi Sergi,

Thank you for reaching out. Upon investigating, I've observed that ad.name is only returned if the Ad type is a video ad. However, I will need to check this with the team to confirm if this is an expected behavior. I will update you once there are information available.

Regards,

Hi Sergi,

I've raised this question with the team that manages the ad creation service. In addition to what Dave mentioned below, it appears that the name field is also supported for image ads, but I've asked the team to confirm. I'll get back to you once I have more information from them.

Best regards,

Josh, Google Ads API Team

We are looking to hearing from your team to confirm if we can use this field. 

Thanks for the quick answer.

Any update on this ?

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hello Muhammad,

Thank you for reaching out. Could you please try to run the below report query against your account and verify if you are still getting empty results for the field 'ad_group_ad.ad.name' for all the ad types in your Google Ads account? I tried to run the report query on my end and was successfully able to retrieve this field for Image Ads and Video Ads as available in my Google Ads account. Could you please verify this further on your end and let me know if you are still having issues? If yes, please share the complete report query along with the client customer id for further investigation.

SELECT ad_group_ad.ad.name, ad_group_ad.ad.type FROM ad_group_ad

P.S: Please use Reply privately to author option while sharing the details.
