Expanded Text Ads - Is it possible to update Custom Parameters or Final Urls with the new Ads API V1?

[Christoph Lanz]

Hello,

I would like to be able to update the final urls and also custom parameters of an existing expanded text ad.

In the example below, when I try just to update the ad status it works good, but when I try to update also final urls (or custom parameters) i get the error of "IMMUTABLE FIELD".

Is it possible to update this information with the current ADS API V1?

Many thanks in advance!

Christoph

Example Code (fragment)

$ad = new Ad

([

'final_urls' => [new StringValue(['value' => 'http://www.example2.com'])],

]);

$adGroupAd = new AdGroupAd

([

'resource_name' => ResourceNames::forAdGroupAd($customerId, $adGroupId, $adId),

'status' => AdGroupAdStatus::ENABLED,

'ad' => $ad,

]);

Example error (fragment)

ERROR:  { "fieldName": "final_urls" } ] } }, { "errorCode": { "requestError": "IMMUTABLE_FIELD" }

Hi Christoph,

The Google Ads API currently supports mutates for Ad Group Ad objects. So I can better investigate, could you provide the complete JSON logs generated by your request? You may send your reply via the Reply privately to author option.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Peter,

I did sent you the Json response privately right? Or maybe I didn't send it properly? Is there anything else that you need from my side?

Kind regards,

Christoph

Hi Christoph,

Were you able to receive my reply in private, that was sent on June 21, 2019? If you are unable to locate it in your inbox, you may refer below for the contents of my response :

My apologies for the delay. After discussing with the rest of the team, the AdGroupAdService can only update the AdGroupAdStatus and cannot mutate any of the other fields. The AdService, which is the service for mutating existing ads, is currently planned for an upcoming release as stated in this migration guide.

However, we currently do not have information as to when it would be available. For now, you can follow our blog for any announcements.

Thanks and regards,
Peter

Hi Peter,

Thank you very much for your answer, this helps a lot and we will find a workaround until when those updates come out.

Kind regards, and have a nice weekend,
