Linking campaign and audience

[Mridul Chatterjee]

Hello - I am using Google Ad Test Manager account to create Audience and campaigns through API. The audience and campaign both are created but they are not linked each other. My campaign is linked with AdGroup which is not linked with Audience, can't be manually linked also, similarly the Audience can't be manually linked with AdGroup/campaign. Is it limitation for test account?

Thanks,

Mridul

Hello Mridul,

Welcome to Google Ads API support team. Thank you for reaching out to us.

With regards to your concern, would you be able to confirm if you are receiving any errors when trying to link the created audience and campaign through API? If so, kindly provide the complete request and response logs with request ID and request header generated on your end.

Note that these logs can be requested or provided to the developer handling the Google Ads API transactions when logging of the API requests has been enabled. You may check here and click your client library for the specific guideline to enable it.

For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag. This will cause the tool to include the HTTP response headers in the output.

You also mentioned that the same cannot be done manually, if you are referring to doing this in UI, would you be able to share to us the uncropped screenshot of how you do this in UI for better illustration on our end?

As a side note, please be aware that the API only mirrors the UI. Thus, if a feature is not possible in UI then it will also not be available in API.

You may send the requested details privately via "Reply to Author" option. If that option is not available to you, send it directly to this alias googleadsa...@google.com instead.

Regards,

Google Ads API Team
