Hi Eshwar,

CustomerSyncService can be used to fetch recent changes to an account or a campaign for a given date range. Please refer to this example in Java to fetch changes to all campaigns in your account. For newly created campaigns, CampaignChangeData.campaignChangeStatus would return the value 'NEW'. Same example is available in other client libraries as well. Please revert if you have additional questions or concerns.

Hi Eshwar,

Unfortunately, using CustomerSyncService, you cannot fetch only the changed campaigns directly. The best way to achieve this is by following this example and checking for CampaignChangeData.campaignChangeStatus value = 'NEW'. As an alternative, you can download the Campaign Performance Report and filter on StartDate. Please revert if you have additional questions or concerns.

Hi Vishal,

 using CustomerSyncService, only the campaignIds of those campaigns which are enabled or paused are retriving, But i want all the campaiIds including campaignId of removed campaigns from adwords.   

  Thanks,

Hi Eshwar,

Technically, you can filter only the removed campaigns in the get call to CampaignService and pass the list of removed campaignIds to your CustomerSyncSelector.

SelectorBuilder builder = new SelectorBuilder();

Selector selector = builder

        .fields(CampaignField.Id, CampaignField.Name)

        .equals(CampaignField.Status, "REMOVED".toString())

        .build();

CampaignPage campaigns = campaignService.get(selector);

If there were any recent changes made to the campaign, those changes will be available even after removing the campaign. For example, I added a criterion to a campaign and then deleted the campaign but I was still able to fetch the changes after the campaign was removed (campaign IDs were changed to random numbers). 

Before Removing:

Campaign with ID 123456789 was changed:

Campaign changed status: 'FIELDS_CHANGED'

Added campaign criteria: {1003,264467738550}

Removed campaign criteria: {}

After Removing:

Campaign with ID 123456789 was changed:

Campaign changed status: 'FIELDS_CHANGED'

Added campaign criteria: {1003,264467738550}

Removed campaign criteria: {}

Hope this helps. Please revert if you have additional questions.

Hi Vishal,

  Thank you for response, You mean to say that we cannot get campaign ids of both existing and removed campaigns at a time. And we need to send separate request for existing and removed campaigns.

 Thanks,

Hi Eshwar,

You can also filter multiple campaign status types by using the .in predicate instead of the .equals predicate as follows:

Selector selector = builder

        .fields(CampaignField.Id, CampaignField.Name)

        .in(CampaignField.Status, "REMOVED" , "ENABLED", "PAUSED")

        .build();
