Dear Google Ads Team,

We would like to use JSON API but can't update fields.

POST https://googleads.googleapis.com/v1/customers/{customer_id}/googleAds:mutate/
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer foo
developer-token: bar

{
  "mutate_operations":
  [
      {
          "ad_group_ad_operation": {
            "update": {
              "resource_name": "customers/{customer_id}/adGroupAds/{ad_group_id}~{ad_group_ad_id}",
              "ad": {
                "tracking_url_template": "{lpurl}&foo=bar"
              }
            },
            "update_mask": "ad.tracking_url_template"
          }
      }
  ]
}


But request failed

            },
            "message": "Field 'ad.tracking_url_template' cannot be modified by 'UPDATE' operation.",
            "location": {
              "fieldPathElements": [
                {
                  "fieldName": "mutate_operations",
                  "index": "0"
                },
                {
                  "fieldName": "ad_group_ad_operation"
                },
                {
                  "fieldName": "update"
                },
                {
                  "fieldName": "ad"
                },
                {
                  "fieldName": "tracking_url_template"
                }
              ]
            }
          }
        ]
      }
    ]
  }
}

Thanks,

Hello Sergei,

Regret the delay. It looks like you're mutating the ad within the ad_group_ad. AdGroup Ads are immutable and it is not yet supported through the Google Ads API. The equivalent for this service would be AdService.mutate() which is not yet supported through the Google Ads API. Please keep an eye on our blog for more updates.

Thanks,
Bharani, Google Ads API Team
