Question about Site Link and Callout Recommendations after migration

[Robert P.]

Hi,

I have a question about the Recommendations service after the auto-migration from feed-based to asset-based extensions. 

Will approving a SITELINK_EXTENSION or CALLOUT_EXTENSION recommendation now create asset-based extensions?

Thanks Robert.

Hi, 

So, I tested with an account and approving some site link recommendations and it does indeed created feed-based extensions still after the October 20 auto-migration deadline.

Is there a ETA when recommendation approvals will create asset-based extensions? 

Thanks Robert.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for reaching out to us.

Based on this previous announcement, after the automatic migration dates, you will no longer be able to create or mutate Feed-based extensions in the AdWords API or the Google Ads API. Feed-based extensions will no longer generate new data. You will still be able to issue Feed-related report queries until August 2022. You may also explore through this blog for more information.

All CREATE and MUTATE actions will be disabled for the relevant extension types after each auto migration date. You can opt out of specific account IDs from the first batch of automatic migration (callout, promotion, sitelink, and structured snippet). That said, only the opted out accounts will be able to continue to issue CREATE and MUTATE requests after the October automatic migration.

Let us know if you have any further questions.

Regards,

Yasar Google Ads API Team

Hi,

Thanks for the response,  I have migrated the old Feed-based extensions and updated the code to now create Asset-based extensions for the Callout and Site Link types as recommended. 

However when I used the Recommendation service to approve new suggested Site Link or Callout Extensions  for an account,  Feed-based extensions are still created. I tested this on October 22. 

Because of this I am having to approve recommendations, pull in old Feed-based extensions, convert them to Asset-based extensions, and then remove the Feed-based extensions. 

I am just curious on when to expect the Recommendation service for Sitelink and Callout extensions to create asset-based? 

Thanks Robert.

Hi Robert,

Thanks for getting back to us.

Kindly note that Feed-based extensions are currently being migrated to new Asset-based extensions in batches, however, we do not have specific dates on when exactly it would be completed for the mentioned types. 

For the statement “However when I used the Recommendation service to approve new suggested Site Link or Callout Extensions  for an account,  Feed-based extensions are still created. I tested this on October 22. ”, could you provide us with the complete request and response logs with the request-id, so our team can better check?

If you haven't yet, logging can be enabled by navigating to the Client libraries > Your client library (ex. Java) > Logging documentation, which you can access from this link.

You may then send the requested information via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, you may send the details directly to our googleadsa...@google.com alias instead.
