Hi, is there anyway to change automatic placement to be managed, can't seem to find how to do it because automatic placement don't have an id

Thanks, stas

Hi Stas,

You could add bid on a placement to your ad group which converts it to a managed placement.

To add a placement to your ad group, issue an AdGroupCriterionService.mutate request with an ADD operation where the operand is a BiddableAdGroupCriterion with:

• adGroupId set
• criterion = a Placement with url set to the URL you want to target (no need to specify an ID here)
• either:
• biddingStrategyConfiguration = a BiddingStrategyConfiguration containing your bids OR
• bidModifier = your bid modifier

Thanks,
