What can cause this error CANNOT_ATTACH_BIDDING_STRATEGY_TO_CAMPAIGN

[Dominic Hofilena]

Hi,

Im getting this error when creating a new campaign

CANNOT_ATTACH_BIDDING_STRATEGY_TO_CAMPAIGN @ operations[0].operand.biddingStrategyConfiguration.biddingStrategyType; trigger:'BUDGET_OPTIMIZER'

What could cause this error? My other bidding schemes work. like CONVERSION_OPTIMIZER and MANUAL_CPC. I'm confused with this one

Im attaching the code I'm using.

Thanks in Advance

Dominic

Hello Dominic,

Sorry for the delay, I was traveling.

Opt-in of budget optimizer bidding strategy is removed from V201402 onward. Use the Maximize clicks flexible bid strategy instead.

Also, note you can't set budget details inline, you need to create a budget with BudgetService and set campaign budgetId field to its ID.

Consider reviewing the migration guide:
