Google Ads PHP API | Getting Error of AdvertisingChannelSubType not compatible with AdvertisingChannelType

[Ujas p]

Hello,

I'm using Google Ads API PHP v12.

Here, I'm getting below error while creating campaign,

Request Params: 
AdvertisingChannelType : SEARCH
AdvertisingChannelSubType: SEARCH_EXPRESS

Error: 
""" {\n "message": "Request contains an invalid argument.",\n "code": 3,\n "status": "INVALID_ARGUMENT",\n "details": [\n {\n "@type": "type.googleapis.com\/google.ads.googleads.v12.errors.GoogleAdsFailure",\n "errors": [\n {\n "errorCode": {\n "operationAccessDeniedError": "CREATE_OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED"\n },\n "message": "Unauthorized CREATE operation in invoking a service's mutate method.",\n "trigger": {\n "stringValue": "Cannot create campaigns of advertising channel type: SEARCH and sub-type: SEARCH_MOBILE_APP.

Have you any list or idea which AdvertisingChannelType is compatible with  AdvertisingChannelSubType?

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to Google Ads API Forum.

For Search campaign, can you try setting SEARCH for AdvertisingChannelType and SEARCH_EXPRESS for AdvertisingChannelSubType? You may also refer here for Campaign Management in Google Ads API.

Also, kindly provide us with the complete request and response logs with the request-id generated on your end when you encountered the error, so that our team can take a closer look. For the PHP client library, logging can be enabled by following the guide here. 

You can provide it via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.

Regards,

Google Ads API Team
