dismiss recommendations

[Aaron Weiner]

Has anyone been able to dismiss recommendations via the Google Ads API and also see that those same recommendations are then dismissed within the Google Ads web interface?

I'm using .NET to dismiss recommendations for an account, and it seems to process correctly but not in the web interface. 

Before I try to dismiss any recommendations, I do the following query for the given account:

            SELECT
                recommendation.dismissed,
                recommendation.resource_name,
                recommendation.type
            FROM
                recommendation
            WHERE
                recommendation.dismissed = false

I then loop through the recommendation.resource_name(s) and use the dismissrecommendation service. 

It seems to work because when I try to run through the process again, the above query no longer finds any recommendation.dismissed = false 

The problem is that when I look inside the actual account in the web interface, there was no impact on the recommendations even though the API says that they were dismissed. 

Any suggestions?

Hi Aaron,

There may be a time lag between dismissing in API and registering in UI. IF waiting doesn't help, could you privately send us a "debug' log level request and response log of API communications of a dismissal and sandwich this API sourced dismissal with full screen screenshots of the UI before API call and after?

The request and response appears similar to the JSON Mappings in our REST documentation with additional headers and information such as request Id.
