Hi guys,
I'm trying to create Ad Groups for Display Ads with activated automated targeting as it is the standard option when I create them via the Google Ads UI. The UI batch call uses settings for "auto_optimizer_setting.full_auto_enabled" and "auto_optimizer_setting.opt_in" but I can't find those settings in the Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\ . Can you please point me in the right direction on how to create Ad Groups so that they state under Targeting "Targeting is automated for this ad group

".
If I don't set any targeting options the ad group just states: "This ad group does not have any targeting. However, your ads will still be eligible to run." Thanks so much for your help!

Hi Ben,

You can use the AdGroupService to set the ExplorerAutoOptimizerSetting.optin, however, the full_auto_enabled cannot be explicitly set via the AdWords API at this moment. For now, you may keep an eye on our blog for any updates regarding this topic.

Thanks and regards,
