Cannot set use_audience_grouped to True in ad group level

[Thitiporn Siriphak]

Hi,

I want to set audience_sitting in the ad group to True. I already tried but got an error with the message "This operation is not permitted on this campaign type". 

My campaign advertising channel type is "SEARCH". Is this cause the error? If it is, which campaign type can be set the audience setting in ad group level to True.

Thanks,

I have the same problem but with the advertising channel set to "SHOPPING". Did you come up with any solution to this problem?

Thanks in advance,

Elias

Hi Elias,

Thank you for raising your concern to my team.

Could you confirm if the issue encountered when setting the use_audience_grouped to true? If yes, then according to this document, Discovery campaigns only support adding audience ad group criterion with this process.

Let me know if you have further questions.

Was a solution found for this? I have the same problem when creating standard display ad groups with the use_audience_grouped set to True.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Google Ads API support team.

As per the API documentation, only 'Discovery campaigns' support adding audience ad group criterion with this process. Please note that it is not possible to set 'use_audience_grouped' to true for any other campaign type. Let us know if you have any further queries.
