Ad type for expanded text ads containing third headline

[Gopal Krishan Gupta]

Just came across this documentation which says that Google ads is going to allow third headline in the expanded text ads.

https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7056544?hl=en&ref_topic=3119117

But it is not clear if it will be a new Ad type or the existing ad types (EXPANDED_TEXT_AD) ? There no documentation available for the API users for this feature, this sound like an important feature, we wanted to be ready when it start to roll out in August. 

Can you confirm if it is the same ad type or different ad type is going to be used for ads containing 3rd headline ?

Hi Gopal,

The new features that are listed in the article are not supported via AdWords API at this moment, hence no additional changes are required at this moment. Please keep an eye on our blog for upcoming releases.

Thanks,

Thanks for replying.  We know that it is not supported in the API at the moment, my question is when they are going to be released in API, will ad type be EXPANDED_TEXT_AD or some new one ? If they are same ad types, are these new fields( third headline and second description) going to be optional or mandatory ?

Hi Gopal,

I am afraid that I cannot comment on when it will release, ad types, and new optional and mandatory fields at this point. Please keep an eye on our blogs for any updates on the upcoming releases. You could also sign up for AdWords API Announcements forum for updates about the API. Let me know if you have any further questions.

There is nothing on the blog or forums about this topic.  We too are very interested to know when this functionality will be available in the API and how it will be implemented.  Is there any more info at this point?

Thanks,

Jim
