Hello,

I have 2 questions about copy-paste items via API:
1) Is there any method that copy-paste ad group from one campaign to another? (like copy paste button in google ads UI)

2) When I try to add existing ads from one ad group to another ad group, with IDs retrieved via GAQL, But I got error like this :
Request made: ClientCustomerId: [customer_id], Host: googleads.googleapis.com, Method: /google.ads.googleads.v8.services.AdGroupAdService/MutateAdGroupAds, RequestId: EZTZfFh3UEm3Dgm_Rd8hgw, IsFault: True, FaultMessage: Resource was not found.

Could you please tell me what I did wrong?

Hi Qi Yang,

I'm Kevin from the Google Ads API Team.

Please see below for my comments regarding your queries.

1) Is there any method that copy-paste ad group from one campaign to another? (like copy paste button in google ads UI)

I'm afraid that there's no feature in Google Ads API to directly copy paste an Ad Group from one campaign to another. You will have to retrieve the Ad Group that you'd like to copy and then, use it values to add a new Ad Group associated with a different campaign. You may check out the Get Ad Groups and Add Ad Groups sample codes for reference when building your own implementation.

2) When I try to add existing ads from one ad group to another ad group, with IDs retrieved via GAQL, But I got error like this :

Request made: ClientCustomerId: [customer_id], Host: googleads.googleapis.com, Method: /google.ads.googleads.v8.services.AdGroupAdService/MutateAdGroupAds, RequestId: EZTZfFh3UEm3Dgm_Rd8hgw, IsFault: True, FaultMessage: Resource was not found.

Can you please provide a UI screenshot of the ads you're trying to copy to another ad group, as well as the complete request and response logs with request ID so we can take a closer look at the issue?
