AdGroupFeeds: changing to a different feed

[Ewout B]

Hi all,

In our application we are creating extension items and we send them to AdWords. The items are then saved in an extension feed, which is different from the main feed for the same specific type. 

Customers were using extensions they made themselves previously, which are stored in the main feed. Initially, there was a link between the adGroups and the feed items in the main feed.

Now we want to change it, such that the adGroups can be coupled to feed items in our own feed.

At first I simply wanted to change the feedId in the adGroupFeed, but this seems impossible. The second solution was to REMOVE the original adGroupFeed and make a new one coupled to our custom feed. 

This does work, however the problem I now encounter is if I try to change back to the original feed. I cannot update the adGroupFeed that had this coupling, because 'it is removed', nor make a new one with the specific adGroupId and feedId, because 'it already exists'.

I suppose it would be nice if one could simply change the feedId in an adGroupFeed or else be able to re-enable removed adGroupFeeds.

Any other suggestions on how to tackle this problem would be most welcome.

Cheers,

Ewout

Hi Ewout,

In order to remove an ad extension from an AdGroup, you can use the REMOVE operator in AdGroupExtensionSettingService to remove the association between the adgroup and all feed items in the extension setting. Thereafter, you can add ad extensions on the AdGroups using any feed. Please refer the guide for better clarity. If you still face issues, could you please reply back with complete SOAP logs so that I can troubleshoot further?
