Greetings!

It appears that you are setting selective optimization on a Display campaign. This was never documented as being supported. Setting selective optimization was meant for app-based campaigns. There was a recent upgrade in your Google Ads account that caused the API to recognize this unexpected request and reject the request since it was not formally supported in the first place.

I'm currently chatting with my fellow engineers to see what the next steps are for possibly turning selective optimization on for Search and Display campaigns even if it was not formally supported before. I'll keep you posted. 

Cheers,

Hi Nadine,

Thanks for reply.

If there is any possibility to change our optimization on a display campaign by uploading a doc. caused the API is not supported now.

Hello,

While I'm working on trying to figure out if we can turn that on in the API, you should be able to set that value in the Google Ads UI.

Hello,

I wanted to give an update. As of today, there is now a way to set conversion goals for a campaign. We just released v9 of the Google Ads API (https://ads-developers.googleblog.com/2021/11/announcing-v9-of-google-ads-api.html). In the release, there is a concept called Conversion Goals (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/conversions/goals/overview) where you can set custom goals for your campaign. You would need to upgrade to this version to use the feature.

Best,

hello

I have upgraded the google ads api to V9, but I still don’t know how to set the conversion goal of the campaign. Are there any relevant examples? Thank you very much!

The screenshot was used for my test, but it seems to be incorrect

Hi,

To update the custom conversion goal, you'll want to send a request like the following example, with your customer, campaign, and custom goal IDs substituted.

{
operations': [
  {
    'update': {
      'resourceName': 'customers/YOUR_CUSTOMER_ID/conversionGoalCampaignConfigs/YOUR_CAMPAIGN_ID',
      'custom_conversion_goal': 'customers/YOUR_CUSTOMER_ID/customConversionGoals/YOUR_CUSTOM_CONVERSION_GOAL_ID'
    },
    'updateMask': 'custom_conversion_goal'
  }
],
}

Note that you'll want to include the updateMask as shown above to indicate to the API that your intention is to update the custom_conversion_goal field.

If you previously encountered an IMMUTABLE_FIELD error with the message "Field 'custom_conversion_goal' cannot be modified by 'UPDATE' operation", please try your request again. That error was due to an issue with the API that has since been fixed.
