Disabling Auto Tagging via API

[Ash Tiwari]

To whom this may concern:

Please point me to the specific section in API documentation which would guide my Dev team on how to use our current Google Ads API v14 integration to turn Auto Tagging setting to OFF.

Our understanding is that as of September 22nd, Google is enabling Auto Tagging to be ON* by default. Since we have business reasons to ensure that Auto Tagging is OFF for all individual accounts in our Manager accounts, we are requesting you to point us to the API resource.

Thanks

Ash

Your auto-tagging setup doesn’t allow you to measure your conversions

Hello,

You're receiving this message because we noticed that your Google Ads auto-tagging setup is currently off. The measurement and reporting of your conversions requires your ad click URLs to be tagged. Auto-tagging appends an additional parameter to your URLs when a user clicks on one of your ads.

What’s changing

To ensure that you can find the conversion results of your ads, starting September 22, 2023, auto-tagging will be turned on for your account. If you want to turn it on sooner, you can find the steps in our Help Center.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting the Google Ads API support team.

After reviewing your query, I understand that you want to set auto tagging to 'OFF' for all individual accounts in your Manager accounts. You can use the customer.mutate method from the API to achieve this. Using 'update' operation, you can set the "autoTaggingEnabled" field to false. I would suggest you to refer to this help center article which has information about 'How to turn off auto-tagging'. Let us know if you have any further queries.
