Custom attributes on shopping_performance_view

[Adrián Salar Fernández]

Hello, 

we currently use the shopping_performance_view to get some metrics of our products. 

We're considering adding more information coming from the merchant center, that could be sent via custom labels on the merchant, or any other solution (open for ideas!). The idea is to have specific data going from the feed on the merchant to the shopping_performance_view.

I've seen there are some segments for custom attributes (https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v13/shopping_performance_view#segments.product_custom_attribute0) but I can't manage to get them to have values. In fact, I couldn't find any article how they're supposed to be used. I would appreciate if somebody can guide me a bit on this.

I tried to set up a Feed rule on the merchant center creating a custom attribute (with a specific name) but of course there is no way to specify which segment on this view will grab it and therefore I can't get it, so I assumed these kind of custom attributes aren't the same ones as the ones on the view I'm downloading via GaQL.

Any help, please?

Thank you
