Device type, OS, Device model setup API

[denma test]

I need code sample to setup Device, OS, Device model setup to campaign using Adwords API using PHP library v201809. PFA.

Hi Denma,

Thanks for reaching out. With regards to your concern,  you can target Device Type by implementing the CampaignCriterionService with criterion type Platform. The criterion IDs you shared are correct. Please see here for an example of how to add targeting criteria to a campaign.

Let me know if you have any question.

Thanks,

Hi

Platform criteria is not update with campaign, below is my code and it is not return any error instead provide success response only

$adWordsServices = new AdWordsServices();
$campaignCriterionService = $adWordsServices->get($session, CampaignCriterionService::class);
$campaignCriteria = [];
$operations = [];

$mobile = new Platform();
$mobile->setId(30001);
$campaignCriteria[] = new CampaignCriterion($campaignId, null, $mobile);
   
foreach ($campaignCriteria as $campaignCriterion) {
    $operation = new CampaignCriterionOperation();
    $operation->setOperator(Operator::SET);
    $operation->setOperand($campaignCriterion);
    $operations[] = $operation;
}
// Setup platform target on the server    
$result = $campaignCriterionService->mutate($operations);

But the setting is not reflected in server, however i cannot find the setting while get campaign details using selector too. Please correct if am did any mistakes.

Hi Denma,

Thank you for providing information. My team is further investigating the issue and will let you know when there's an update.

Hi Denma,

I took a look at the code snippet you provided and I noticed that you use the operator SET, could you give it another try using the operator ADD instead?

Thanks,

Hi

I have tried already with ADD, getting belwo error while using ADD operator

Array ( [status] => error [message] => Error in platform targeting [data] => Array ( [errorResponse] => [OperatorError.OPERATOR_NOT_SUPPORTED @ operations[0].operand.criterion; trigger:'CriterionId{id=30001}'] [errorMsg] => OPERATOR_NOT_SUPPORTED ) )

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Denma,

Sorry I misled you in my previous message, you are right, SET is the operator to use here.

I was able to set a Platform criteria to target mobile phone devices for a campaign that initially had it disabled in the settings. I did it using the following code in PHP:
 

        $campaignCriterionService = $adWordsServices->get($session, CampaignCriterionService::class);
        
        // Add a device criterion.
        $mobile = new Platform();
        $mobile->setId(30001);
        $mobileCriterion = new CampaignCriterion(
            $campaignId,
            null,
            $mobile,
            5,
            CampaignCriterionCampaignCriterionStatus::ACTIVE
        );

        $operation = new CampaignCriterionOperation();
        $operation->setOperator(Operator::SET);
        $operation->setOperand($mobileCriterion);
        $operations[] = $operation;

        $result = $campaignCriterionService->mutate($operations);

Once executed, I refreshed the Google Ads UI completely and could see it reflected at two locations under my campaign:

• "Devices" menu on the left: the bid adjustment for the "Mobile phones" device is now +400%
• In the campaign settings: under "Devices" I can see that "Mobile phones" is now selected

Could you share more detail about the initial campaign targeting settings? Also, what exact modifications do you expect to see after a successful API call and where on the UI?

Thanks,

Let me try with this code and get back to you.
