I want to target the mobile application,but something wrong happen via API.

Hi,

I use the CampaignCriterionService to add the criterion which targets an application .For example,to target the Clash of Clons (1-529479190).

below is the main code:

     $campaignId = 'MY_CAMPAIGN_ID';

     $campaigncriterionservice= $user->GetService('CampaignCriterionService', ADWORDS_VERSION);

     $operations = array();

     //Create campaigncriterion.

     $campaigncriterion = new CampaignCriterion();

     $campaigncriterion->campaignId = $campaignId;

     //target the app.

     $criterion = new MobileApplication();

     $criterion->appId = '1-529479190';

     $campaigncriterion->criterion = $criterion;

     $campaigncriterionoperation = new CampaignCriterionOperation();

     $campaigncriterionoperation->operand = $campaigncriterion;

     $campaigncriterionoperation->operator = 'ADD';

     $operations[] = $campaigncriterionoperation;

 

     $result = $campaigncriterionservice->mutate($operations);

It returns the error :An error has occurred: [CriterionError.CANNOT_ADD_CRITERIA_TYPE @ operations[0].operand.criterion]

But when I change the type CampaignCriterion() into NegativeCampaignCriterion() ,It blocks the App and works OK.

Please help me.

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry,I find that I need to use AdGroupCriterionService() instead of CampaignCriterionService() to target APP.It works OK.

Thank you.

Hello Jelly,

Correct. Exclusions are on the Campaign level while targeting is per AdGroup.
