Adding Campaign through CampaignService returns a CampaignId, but doesn't appear in AdWords front-end

[Vince Lee]

Hello!

I am trying to add a campaign via the CampaignService. The API returns a valid response, but when I go to find the Campaign in the AdWords Web UI, the Campaign doesn't show up. Any ideas?

Here are my SOAP request and response:

Hi,

That campaign is in the REMOVED state, so you'll only see it in the UI if you change the filter drop down to All instead of All enabled or All but removed. Once you select the campaign you can see who removed it by clicking the View History link above the tabs.

By the way, I noticed that you included the Authorization header in your post. In this particular case, the post wasn't made public until after the access token in the header had expired, but in general you should avoid posting any sensitive information to the forum.

Cheers,

Josh, AdWords API Team
