RE: error creating assetgroup for pmax campaign

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor]

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team. 

Please be informed that I have removed your response from the forums as it contains the PII information.

Based on the information provided, I understand that you are encountering SHORT_DESCRIPTION_REQUIRED error while creating the asset groups using the Google Ads API. Upon checking the logs, I could see that you are passing two 'DESCRIPTION' text assets while creating the asset group. I could see one of the 'DESCRIPTION' text asset name is 'Optimiza tus anuncios y consigue mejores resultados. Pruébalo ahora.' which has 68 characters and the other 'DESCRIPTION' text asset name is 'Gestiona campañas con inteligencia artificial y mejora tu ROI hoy mismo.' which has 72 characters. As per the documentation, your asset group should contain atleast one 'DESCRIPTION' text asset name which contains 60 characters or less but both of your 'DESCRIPTION' text asset names exceeds more than 60 characters and that's the reason you are getting SHORT_DESCRIPTION_REQUIRED error. There are two ways to avoid the error:

1. One is to include one more 'DESCRIPTION' text asset name which contains 60 characters or less.
2. If you don't want to add an extra asset the make the existing 'DESCRIPTION' text asset name to reduce it to 60 characters or less. 

We have tried this approach and were successful in creating the asset groups using the Google Ads API. I would recommend you to try the same approach and let us know how it goes from your end as well. ​​​​​​​
 

Thanks,
