Clarification on Campaign URL Options in Google Ads API

[Amit Tomar]

Hello Team,

While implementing Google Ads, I encountered Campaign URL options  (Tracking template, Final URL Suffix and Custom Parameters) as part of the campaign settings. However, when reviewing the API documentation  "https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/ads/upgraded-urls/fields", I noticed that tracking templates and custom parameters fall under "Upgraded URLs." According to the document, Upgraded URLs are deprecated.

Could you clarify which documentation we should refer to for URL options, and if there are any upcoming changes related to this?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

Yes, the upgraded URL is deprecated. To set the campaign URL, you need to use the customers.campaigns.mutate rest interface method. In the campaign operation, you can specify the trackingUrlTemplate, finalUrlSuffix and urlCustomParameters[].

You may try the below sample request body: 

{
  "operations": [
    {
      "create": {
        "name": "testing_search_campaign",
        "advertisingChannelType": "SEARCH",
        "campaignBudget": "customers/{customer_id}/campaignBudgets/{campaign_budget_id}",
        "maximizeConversions": {
          "targetCpaMicros": 17249760000
          
        },
        "status": "ENABLED",
        "startDate": "2024-10-26",
        "endDate": "2024-12-28",
        "targetingSetting": {
          "targetRestrictions": [
            {
              "bidOnly": true,
              "targetingDimension": "AUDIENCE"
            }
            
          ]
          
        },
        "finalUrlSuffix": "",
        "trackingUrlTemplate": "",
        "urlCustomParameters": [
          {
            "key": "",
            "value": ""
          }
          
        ]
        
      }
      
    }
    
  ],
  "partialFailure": true,
  "responseContentType": "MUTABLE_RESOURCE"
  
}

I hope this helps! Let us know if you have any further questions.
