Assets API

[tyl]

Hi, I'm trying to use the `url_custom_parameters` field on Assets and the API is preventing me from mutating these assets. I had a couple questions:

1. What is the purpose behind the `url_custom_parameters` field on Assets? 

2. How can I identify the exact Asset/headline/description that was clicked on when someone engages with my Ad and the Ad has multiple Assets?

Thank you

Hi,

Thank you for raising this concern to the Google Ads API Forum. With regard to your question, please refer to my answers below:

1. What is the purpose behind the `url_custom_parameters` field on Assets? 

-The list of mappings used to substitute custom parameter tags in a tracking_url_template, final_urls, or mobile_final_urls.

2. How can I identify the exact Asset/headline/description that was clicked on when someone engages with my Ad and the Ad has multiple Assets?

-To answer this question, could you please provide a screenshot where we can see this in the UI? so that we can confirm if this can be seen in the API too.  

Best regards,

Hi, 

Thank you for the response.

1. I guess what i'm wondering is how these can be set/used? I can't find a way to change them on the UI, and trying to change them via the API returns an error like: `The field cannot be set for this asset type.The field cannot be set for this asset type`

2. I can't find a way to configure URLs to track this, which is why I'm asking if its even possible via either the UI or API.

Thank you.
