Setting Conversions to Campaigns - AdwordsAPI

[pradeep...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I would like to connect conversions to a campaign. I am currently using Adwords API to achieve this.

I tried adding Conversions using selective optimization, But i am unable to add multiple conversions to campaign (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/CampaignService.SelectiveOptimization.html)

Error i get : CampaignError.CAMPAIGN_CANNOT_SET_MORE_THAN_ONE_CONVERSION_TYPE_ID

I would like to know how to add multiple conversions to campaign. 

Thank You,

Pradeep Datla.

I have attached details log file for further investigation. Please let me know what the issue is

What i am trying to do: I am trying to add multiple conversions to a campaign using Adwords API.

Code: C#

List<CampaignOperation> operations = new List<CampaignOperation>();

                using (GoogleService.CampaignService campaignService = (GoogleService.CampaignService)user.GetService(AdWordsService.v201809.CampaignService))

                {

                    Campaign campaign = new Campaign

                    {

                        id = Convert.ToInt64(IDHERE)

                    };

                SelectiveOptimization optimize = new SelectiveOptimization();

                optimize.conversionTypeIds = new long[] { 589653082L, 588617162L };

                ListOperations listOperation = new ListOperations();

                listOperation.operators = new ListOperationsListOperator[] { ListOperationsListOperator.PUT, ListOperationsListOperator.PUT };

                optimize.conversionTypeIdsOps = listOperation;

                campaign.selectiveOptimization = optimize;

   

                // Create the operation.

                CampaignOperation operation = new CampaignOperation

                {

                    @operator = Operator.SET,

                    operand = campaign

                };

                operations.Add(operation);

                CampaignReturnValue retVal = null;

                try

                {

                    // Add the campaign.

                    retVal = campaignService.mutate(operations.ToArray());

                }

                catch (Exception campaignEx)

                {

                    throw campaignEx;

                }

Thank You,

Hello,

Thanks for providing the complete logs. Not all campaign types can have multiple associated conversion actions. In particular, search campaigns only allow one conversion action (hence, " trigger:'SEARCH' ", in the logs). Please let us know if there is anything else that we can help with.

Hi Matt,

Can you please provide me info on the following

1. Can you provide me with information on which type of campaigns support multiple Conversions
2. In Google UI, I am able to add multiple conversions to "Search" Campaign by creating Conversion Set. So can I achieve the same thing in API . If so how can I do it?

Thank You,

Hi Pradeep, 

Thank you for your follow up questions. I work with Matt and allow me to assist you.

Can you provide me with information on which type of campaigns support multiple Conversions

Since this is more of a product related concern, I would recommend that you reach out instead to the Google Ads Product support team, via this link, for further guidance if multiple conversions is supported in the different campaign types.

In Google UI, I am able to add multiple conversions to "Search" Campaign by creating Conversion Set. So can I achieve the same thing in API . If so how can I do it?

This is currently not supported in the API. That said, allow me to create a feature request, subject for review. For now, you may keep an eye on our blog for updates or announcements.
