Assign Selective Optimisation Conversion Actions to Google App Campaign

[Campbell Bartlett]

Hi,

We are trying to assign conversion actions to a GAC campaign via selective optimisation but we are getting the following response:

 Caused by: com.google.ads.googleads.v10.errors.GoogleAdsException: errors {

  error_code {
    request_error: UNKNOWN
  }
  message: "The error code is not in this version."
  trigger {
    string_value: "ConversionTypeId: 926725127"
  }
  location {
    field_path_elements {
      field_name: "operations"
      index: 0
    }
    field_path_elements {
      field_name: "create"
    }
    field_path_elements {
      field_name: "selective_optimization"
    }
    field_path_elements {
      field_name: "conversion_actions"
    }
  }
}
request_id: "cFHZa6N_j4r-DEzeXMPpEw"

Here is how we are making the request (using the Java v10 SDK):

Campaign.newBuilder()
  .setName("test")
  .setCampaignBudget("customers/REDACTED/campaignBudgets/REDACTED")
  .setStatus(CampaignStatusEnum.CampaignStatus.PAUSED)
  .setAdvertisingChannelType(AdvertisingChannelType.MULTI_CHANNEL)
  .setAdvertisingChannelSubType(AdvertisingChannelSubType.APP_CAMPAIGN)
  .setSelectiveOptimization(
      SelectiveOptimization.newBuilder()
    .addAllConversionActions(List.of("customers/REDACTED/conversionActions/REDACTED")).build());

var appCampaign = appCampaignBuilder.build();
var createOp = CampaignOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(appCampaign).build();
googleAdsSdkClient.mutateCampaigns("REDACTED", List.of(createOp));

Are you able to advise what we are doing wrong or what the real error might be?

Cheers,

Campbell

Hello Campbell,

Apologies for the late reply. We had a glitch where this one was missed. Maybe the forum needed a coffee to wake it up! :-)

Thank you for providing the request ID and logging with important info redacted in a question like this. It makes it much easier to look up. I see that our back-end is saying: CampaignError.SELECTIVE_OPTIMIZATION_CONVERSION_TYPE_OWNER_ACCOUNT_INVALID As you already see, it's referring to field_path: "operations[0].create.selective_optimization.conversion_actions" 

I took a look into the account where I think this request was made. I don't see that conversion action ID in that account. Please double-check the conversion action ID to make sure it's in that account and retry the request. Perhaps, you meant to use another conversion action or a different account with that request. If the request doesn't work after trying again, please reply to this thread or reply privately to author.

Thanks,
