Custom intent audience: auto-created

[Yoshie Agata]

Hi,

When I wanna attach a custom intent audience to my ad group, it is auto-created on Google Ads Manager with multiple members (as the attachment).

How can I do the same via API?

Do I need to create Custom Interest and then update adgroup criterion?

Thank you.

Hi Yoshie,

Thank you for posting your concern.

This feature is only supported in Google Ads API and you may refer to this guide to know how to implement it. Then, you can use custom_interest report type to get its information including its members.

Hope this will help. Let me know if you have further questions.

Regards,

Thank you for the reply.

I understand I need to create a custom audience but when I wanna set CustomAffinityInfo for AdGruopCriterion, The CustomInterest resource name is required, not custom audience.

Do I still need to create a custom audience and use custom audience ID as custom interest ID?

What is the difference and relation between custom audience and custom interest?

Thank you.

Hi Yoshie,

I work with Ernie and allow me to assist you for now.

You can check out this guide on how you can create a Custom Audience using the Google Ads API. Please also note that INTEREST or PURCHASE_INTENT is not allowed for the type field of newly created custom audience. Use AUTO instead when creating a new CustomAudience.

As to the difference between a custom audience and custom interest, you can refer to this article and also reach out separately to the Google Ads Product Support team via this link, for further insight.

Hi,

I am trying to create a custom audience as exactly the same as what you sent me here but 

$googleAdsClient->getCustomAudienceServiceClient(); is undefined.

Could you please tell me how I can create a custom audience?

Thank you.

Hi Yoshie,

Thank you for reaching out. You could first create the custom audience by using this code snippet. Once you get the custom audience resource name, you could use it in this code snippet to apply the custom audience to the targeted campaign. Let me know if you have any further concerns.

Thanks and regards,

Hi,

Like I said in the previous message, here is the example on the documentation and $googleAdsClient->getCustomAudienceServiceClient() is undefined.

Please try with PHP and let me know how I can create it.

Also, why do I need to create a custom audience when I wanna create adGroupCriterion with CustomAffinityInfo and CustomIntentInfo which requires CustomInterest resource name?

Can I just create customInterest for adGroupCriterion or do I still need to create customAudience?

Thank you.

Hi Yoshie,

You can create your CustomInterest first using the CustomInterestService. Afterwards, using the AdGroupCriterionService, you can create the ad group criterion by specifying the resource name in the CustomIntentInfo.

Regarding the issue with the PHP code, if you are encountering issues accessing the getters/setters or methods, I would recommend that you reach out to the PHP client library owners instead, via this link, as they are the more appropriate team to provide guidance on code/client library level concerns.

Hi,

Yes I was confused because I was told to create customAudience instead of customInterest here.

Thank you for your support!
