Hi Bryan,

Thanks for reaching out and for providing details.

Could you confirm if you are trying to create a smart shopping campaign? If yes, upon checking the provided SOAP request logs, I noticed that the you did not included the advertisingChannelSubType field in your request and set as SHOPPING_GOAL_OPTIMIZED_ADS. With this, you may try to make an API call again and please refer to the link that I provided on how to configure and to create a Smart Shopping campaigns.

Please let me know if you have further questions/clarifications.

Regards,
Ejay

Thank you very much. That was it. I was adding it in advertisingChannelType not the advertisingChannelSubType
I am now able to create a smart campaign and an adgroup for it. Although now i am getting an error creating product partitions for the adgroup.
I now get this error:

[CriterionError.INVALID_PRODUCT_BIDDING_CATEGORY @ operations[6].operand.criterion.caseValue; trigger:'ProductBiddingCategory{type=BIDDING_CATEGORY_L1, canonicalValue=null, value=ProductCategoryId: 0, countryCode=null}', AdGroupCriterionError.PRODUCT_PARTITION_REQUIRES_SAME_DIMENSION_TYPE_AS_SIBLINGS @ operations; trigger:'com.google.ads.api.serviceimpls.campaignmgmt.criterion.adgroupcriterion.ProductPartitionTree$Node@7244d096']
