Can't create Product Partition in a Shopping Campaign

[c...@clickbits.de]

Hello,

using the PHP Library v201402 and the Google Adwords API and the Content API for Shopping I want to create shopping campaigns with products from an Google Merchant Center Account.

Via the API I can generate campaigns and adgroups, but I can't create product partions (like productgroups) into the adgroup. Here is my code for the product partition:

$productPartition = new \ProductPartition('UNIT');

$adGroupCriterion = new \BiddableAdGroupCriterion();
$adGroupCriterion->criterion = $productPartition;
$adGroupCriterion->adGroupId = <adgroupId from the last generated adGroup>;

$operation           = new \AdGroupCriterionOperation();
$operation->operand  = $adGroupCriterion;
$operation->operator = 'ADD';
                   
$operations = array($operation);
$adGroupCriterionService->mutate($operations);

Is this the right way to generate a product partition? I read the docs a lot of times but i don't know if this is right.

Can anyone help me?

Hi there,

I think the issue might be that the tree you're creating is invalid, in that it only has a root node. Take a look at our sample code; it creates a full tree, using some utilities that should make your life a lot easier:

Hope this helps!

Cheers,

Sérgio
