Adding adgroup callout extension from a user defined feed

[Matthew Wawrin]

Hi,

(I attempted to post earlier this morning, but don't see the post on the forum so I'm reposting.  Sorry for any duplicates if prior post exists).

I would like to create a feed that contains callout text for adgroup callout extensions.  I want to create a separate feed from the 'Main callout feed' that's automatically populated when using the adGroupExtensionSettingService as these callouts will be specific to adgroups in certain campaigns only, and I do not want to fill the main callout feed with these callouts. 

I found https://groups.google.com/forum/#!newtopic/adwords-api/adwords-api/wsZjwe8DZPA, which seems to imply that you can specify the feedItemId to reuse an existing callout extension, but I'm not sure that includes a user defined feed.

I'm using the 201607 level of the php API.   I'm able to create the feed, feedItems and feedMapping to specify the CALLOUT placeholder.  When calling the adGroupExtensionSettingService with the feedId and feedItemId of the callout I wish to add, I get an error from the API.

                        )

                )

            [platformRestrictions] => NONE

        )

)

I was able to successfully add a callout by specifying the feedItemId of a feedItem in the 'Main Callout Feed' feed using the adGroupExtensionSettingService, but not one from my user defined feed.  Is this possible, or does the adGroupExtensionSettingService require you to use the 'Main Callout Feed'?   This sort of seems like the case as the calloutFeedItem says the feedId is read only.  If I can't specify the feedId to my feed, then I'm assuming it adGroupExtensionSettingService uses specific feeds for the extensions it creates.

I really wanted to avoid using agroupFeedService/mapping function, but it appears that's what might be necessary to use my own feed for callouts. 

Any help (even confirmation that adGroupExtensionSettingService can't be used in this case) will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Matt.
