Create ad schedule bug

[Eylon Raymond Harari]

Ad schedule cannot be updated for a 45 minute timeframe. 

0, 15, 30 minutes works fine. When I add "FORTY_FIVE" in startMinute/endMinute it rounds it back to 0 (see examples below)

Refference: 

Endpoint:
https://googleads.googleapis.com/v6/customers/{customerid}/campaignCriteria:mutate

Example operations and results: 

1. Works as expected, the result is: WEDNESDAY: 20:15-23:15

{

   "create":{

      "adSchedule":{

         "startMinute":"FIFTEEN",

         "endMinute":"FIFTEEN",

         "dayOfWeek":"WEDNESDAY",

         "startHour":20,

         "endHour":23

      },

      "campaign":"customers/{customerid}/campaigns/{campaignid}",

      "bidModifier":1

   }

}

2. Not Working as expected, the result is: WEDNESDAY: 20:15-23:00, instead of the expected WEDNESDAY: 20:15-23:45

{

   "create":{

      "adSchedule":{

         "startMinute":"FIFTEEN",

         "endMinute":"FORTY_FIVE",

         "dayOfWeek":"WEDNESDAY",

         "startHour":20,

         "endHour":23

      },

      "campaign":"customers/{customerid}/campaigns/{campaignid}",

      "bidModifier":1

   }

}

Additional information - 

- The bug occurs every hour of the day I try

- I don't get any error message after the request

- When choosing "FORTY_FIVE" it rounds it down to "ZERO" every time

- Everything else (all minute and hour options) works perfectly. 

How can I solve this issue? 

Cheers

Hi Eylon,

Thanks for reaching out and providing that information. Can you please provide us with the complete request and response logs that show this behavior using the FORTY_FIVE MinuteOfHour value? This will help us further investigate any issues.

Thanks,

Hi Eylon,

I work with Matt and allow me to assist you.

Thank you for sharing these details. However, so our team can further investigate the behavior that you are observing, could you access this link then enable logging by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation?

Once enabled, you may send our customer ID and the complete request and response logs, with the request-id. You may send the requested details using the Reply privately to author option.

Best regards,

Peter Laurence Napa Oliquino Google Ads API Team

Hi Peter, I am not using any of the client's libraries - its all on nodejs with the raw google ads API.

However, my project is hosted on the google app engine so maybe that's something you can access. 

How do you reckon we can proceed from here? 

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Eylon,

Unfortunately, since node.js is not supported directly, then our team does not have visibility on how logging can be enabled for it. However, your API transaction should still return a response, and within that response the request-id should be included. That said, could you provide the following instead :

• your customer ID
• complete node.js request
• response returned by your API transaction including the request-id
• generated IDs of your ad schedule criterion

You may send these details using the Reply privately to author option

[Eylon Raymond Harari]

Hey peter, the option for replying to the author is not available for me... I there another address I can send the details to?
