Hi, 
I am having error while using {placement} value track parameter in the final url while creating the new ads.
the final url is something like this: https://ioadserve.com/click/40/11993/19386/0/{placement}

the error i got is: 
[PolicyViolationError{super=PolicyViolationError.POLICY_ERROR @ operations[0].operand.ad.displayUrl, key=PolicyViolationKey{policyName=unclear_or_inaccurate_ad_text,violatingText={placement}}, externalPolicyName=Style and spelling, externalPolicyUrl=, externalPolicyDescription=Your ad text must be in standard sentence form and directly relate to the keywords you choose and the site, products, or service you provide.\n\nAdditionally, phone numbers (including vanity numbers) can't be used anywhere in ad text or sitelinks extensions.\n\nIf you would like to continue to use phone numbers in your advertising, you may want to set up the call extensions feature. For more information on creating call extensions, please see:\nhttp:\/\/support.google.com\/google-ads\/answer\/2453991?hl=en#legacy\n\nFor more information about our style and spelling policy, please see: https:\/\/support.google.com\/adspolicy\/answer\/6021546#327\n\nPlease edit your ad, as it is either unclear, does not accurately reflect your site content, or contains a phone number., isExemptable=false, violatingParts=[Part{index=45, length=11}]}]

If i do it manually in the test platform it is working well, not giving any errors But I cannot achieve it through API . 

Please guide me what can i do to solve this issues.
