Clarification on Campaign Objective Support in Latest Google Ads API Version
yono acc
Hi,
Thank you for the information regarding CampaignConversionGoal and the use of customers.campaignConversionGoals.mutate.
I wanted to confirm whether the "campaign objective" feature (such as Sales, Leads, Website Traffic, App Promotion, Awareness and Consideration, Local Store Visits and Promotion) is directly supported in the latest version of the Google Ads API.
If it is not directly supported, could you please clarify how we can programmatically set these campaign objectives using the API?
I understand from the documentation that goals are identified by unique combinations of category and origin within the set of ConversionActions in the effective conversion account. However, it's still unclear how to explicitly associate one of the predefined campaign objectives (like Sales or Leads) with a campaign via the API.
Any clarification or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.
I understand that you are looking for the campaign objectives fields, such as 'Leads', ‘website traffic’, ‘sales’ for a campaign via the Google Ads API. I can confirm that setting campaign objectives is not supported in the Google Ads API. I will raise a request for this feature to become available in the Google Ads API. Kindly note that I am unable to comment on any timelines for its exposure. With that being said, I would recommend you to follow our Blog post and release notes for announcements about new API releases and features.
Also, I would like to inform you that there are no alternative ways to programmatically set these campaign objectives using the Google Ads API.
I hope this helps! Feel free to get back to us in case of any further queries.
Thanks,
