I am using 'mutate' operation of 'AdGroupCriterionService' service in SOAP UI to create a 'KEYWORD' type criteria.

Can you please help on how can I send 'matchType' and 'text' input ?

Please find below request I am sending:

Hi,

You may refer to the sample SOAP request and response for the necessary fields/elements required to successfully create a Keyword criterion :

Appreciate your help. It worked for me.

Just one query:
Can't we use it the same way as SOAP WSDL generates the sample request xml by just adding "text" and "matchType" fields?

Hi Neha,

My apologies as I'm not sure I follow what it is you wish to confirm regarding the SOAP and the text and matchType fields. This being said, could you provide more context regarding your concern?
