Dear API-Team,

will the upcoming release of the Google Ads API include support for the newly announced third headline and the additional description in ExpandedTextAds? (https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/1704389, https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/9100171)
If so, will they be required or optional fields?

Regards
tim

Hello Tim,

The mentioned features are not supported via AdWords API and Google Ads API at this moment, hence no additional changes are required at this moment. Please keep an eye on our blog for upcoming releases.

Regards,
Sai Teja, AdWords API Team.

Hi,

I know that the features are not yet supported by the API at this moment. 
My question referred to the upcoming release (or any in the future). 

It makes a tremendous difference for us if the new fields are required properties. This would lead to a lot of work migrating all the ads of our customers. 
Kind regards
tim

Hello Tim,

I understand your concern, since the feature is not yet released we cannot comment whether those fields are mandatory or not. 


Regards,
Sai Teja, AdWords API Team.

Any updates on this one? This seems to me still not available in latest release. HeadlinePart3 is still missing from fields https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/selectorfields#v201809-AdGroupAdService and adding it to fields throwing an error: 
INVALID_FIELD_NAME

Thanks.

Hello

With the latest version of AdWords API v201809 you will be able to add headlinePart3 of the EdxpandedTextAd. You could refer the code sample AddExpandedTextAdWithUpgradedUrls.php and add those new fields to the Ad. Please give it a try and let me know if you are facing any issues. 


Regards,
Sai Teja, AdWords API Team.

Thanks for your answer. It looks from the docs, I should be able to add, but first I need to Get existing Ads to merry this to our backend, and I can't do it. Thanks.

Hi Sai,

Yes, please. This example doesn't work with HeadLine3


$selector->setFields(
['Id', 'Status', 'HeadlinePart1', 'HeadlinePart2', 'Description']
);

If I add HeadlinePart3 in list of fields it will throw an exception.

Same, including Headline3 in after this line will not work (because its not in fields):


Thanks, Denys.

Hi Denys,

I think that within a selector you have to use ExpandedTextAdHeadlinePart3. Check the API Reference here:
