                        "trigger": {
                            "stringValue": "xxxxxxxxxx"

                        "location": {
                            "fieldPathElements": [
                                {
                                    "fieldName": "operations",
                                    "index": 0
                                },
                                {
                                    "fieldName": "create"
                                },
                                {
                                    "fieldName": "name"
                                }
                            ]
                        }
                    }

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to Google Ads API Forum.

I can see that you’ve encountered the NAME_ALREADY_USED error. This error indicates that when you tried to create the user_list this name was already being used for another user list for the account.

However, for us to check better, could you provide the complete request and response logs with the request-id generated on your end when you encountered this error? You may provide it via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.

Regards,

Google Ads API Team
