GSP / Gmail Ad in AdGroupAdService

[a.k...@sdventures.com]

Hello,

Is is possible to get ads with type "Gmail Ad" by using api AdGroupAdService? 

I get empty response trying to do this. So maybe there is another way? 

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

AdGroupAdService.get() is used to return the list of AdGroupAds. Gmail Ads is part of the TemplateAd, by specifying the Ad.Type to TEMPLATE_AD, you should be able to retrieve the gmail Ads. You may check this sample code in Java for reference (also available in other languages that we support). If this is not working, could you provide me the complete SOAP request and response generated when you encountered the issue? Please reply using Reply privately to author.

Thanks and regards,

Hello, 

Here is brief summary of the issue that happened on the forum thread, so that other forum users can take a look:

The campaign under question is of the type Display Network only - Gmail. This indicates that the specific Campaign and Ad was most likely created from the new AdWords UI. I followed the steps corresponding to the new UI in this guide and could see that the Gmail Ads created this way was not returned by the AdWords API (reports or service). The Ads created from the old UI was being returned by the reports and services as a template ad with id 464. The Ad type with Gmail Ad is not supported by the API yet and that is different from the Template Ad with Id 464. You will be able to track this data using the Ad Performance Report where the AdType for this specific ad will be returned as blank. Our team is currently working on this issue to return this field as UNKNOWN.

Feel free to open a new thread if you're facing a similar issue, so our team can assist you with this.
