Campaign type and campaign subtype

[STeP MCC]

Hi,

I tried to retrieve the campaign type and campaign subtype from the CAMPAIGN_PERFORMANCE_REPORT, but it seems its not found in the Fields of the Selector, even i tried to get them from the service campaign but also, i didn't find them.

So from where i can get the campaign type and subtype through the APIs?
Thanks in advance

Hi,

You should be able to use the AdvertisingChannelType column to infer the subtype.

Thanks,

Ray

Thank you for your reply, but i noticed that AdvertisingChannelType  column is the same as the campaign type(Display/Search) and not the campaign subtype (All features/ mobile apps)
So please advice

Hi,

The more concrete subtype itself is not currently supported via the API.

Thanks,

Ray

Hi,

The concrete subtype is not available via the API at the moment.

Thanks,

Ray

When might the subtype be available?

Hi,

Campaigns created through the API are equivalent to All features campaigns. There is not a 1-1 mapping between the subtypes in the UI and the API, since the UI subtypes are mostly used for controlling which UI elements are available when working with a campaign in the UI.

Hi,

So we would like to show remarketing campaigns in contrast to others - so there is no way to discretely filter a remarketing campaign from the API by its subtype is that correct? We are not creating the campaigns through the API, rather we are getting a report and would like to use a predicate to get only remarketing campaigns..

Hi,

That's correct - you won't be able to filter using any subtype/type fields. One possible workaround would be to find the campaigns that have CriterionUserList criteria, collect those IDs, and then use those in predicates on CampaignId for your reporting and CampaignService calls.

Another option is to apply a label to all of your remarketing campaigns, and use the label's ID in predicates.
