Modifying DiscoverCarouselAd - changing cards

[Lambert Beekhuis]

Hi team

I succesfully initialized an DiscouveryCarouselAdInfo with two CarouselCards through the API! 

Now I want to modify this Ad through the API: I want to change some cards of the Ad

The structure is as follows:

AdGroupAd -> Ad -> DiscoveryCarouselAdInfo -> carouselCards

How to update these cards? If I use the updateOperation from the AdGroupAd is says:

"Field 'ad.discovery_carousel_ad.carousel_cards' cannot be modified by 'UPDATE' operation."

How to proceed? Do I need to make a new Ad? But then all exiting information on Ad is also gone, and maybe it has other consequences?

Hope someone can help me out!

best regards, Lambert

Hi Lambert,

Thank you for raising this concern to the Google Ads API Forum. 

To better check this and to provide accurate recommendations, could you please provide the complete API request and response logs with request ID and request header that generated on your end? Also, the screenshot of the Google Ads UI that you are referring to.

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.

For security purposes, you can provide it via the Reply privately to author option. If this option is not available, then send it instead on this email address googleadsa...@google.com.

Best regards,

Jinky Google Ads API Team
