Smart Shopping ad assets creation

[di...@adscale.com]

Hi,

I'm stuck stuck with smart shopping ad creation. We are able to create a campaign, ad group and an empty ad, but can't find a way to populate the asset (file asset.png).

For ad creation we use this example - https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/samples/add-shopping-smart-ad

When I create a smart shopping ad with its assets manually I can see in the Change History that a feed named "System generated (Smart Shopping Ads) Feed" was created (change_history.png).

I've tried to retrieve this feed via FeedServiceInterface, but it's not there.

So I'm really stuck here. How can I populate the ad assets via API?

Thanks

Hello,

You can find information on how to create smart shopping ads here. The Ad will have a field called shopping_smart_ad which you can set to ShoppingSmartAdInfo.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

We tried it already.

ShoppingSmartAdInfo shoppingSmartAdInfo = ShoppingSmartAdInfo.newBuilder().build();
Ad ad = Ad.newBuilder().setShoppingSmartAd(shoppingSmartAdInfo).build();

ShoppingSmartAdInfo doesn't have setters at all.

Its builder has method setField(FieldDescriptor field, Object value). But we couldn't find any documentation how to fill it, FieldDescriptor is very generic

Hello,

You will just need to pass the ShoppingSmartAdInfo in your ad builder. Are you experiencing any errors when trying to create the ads? If so, can you please share your request and response for the API call?

Thanks,

Anthony

We create a blank ad, without headlines etc, i.e. without the assets from my first screenshot.

We can't understand how to populate the fields, for example the headline.

There is no setter like setHeadline, and no setField that receives a field enum or something.

We've found only  setField(FieldDescriptor field, Object value), but FieldDescriptor is very generic and we can't find an appropriate documentation.

Can you give me an example of populating one of the fields, let's say the Short Headline?

Thanks

Hi,

Unfortunately, there is currently no way to set these fields using the API. I'll let the team know to have this supported.

Please see our blog for any updates or announcements regarding this.

Hi Wilson,

Creating smart shopping ads through the API is still the same. You will just need to pass the ad object and it will set your fields accordingly.

I get confuse now...

I'm having the same issue here and I just can create a ad with the text fields.

How can I create a ad for Smart Shopping if I can pass any parameter? 

What type of ad do I need to create to use? A dynamic ad? A display ad?

I didn't get it.

Can you help me please?

Thanks 

Bests.

Hi Djalma,

When creating a smart shopping ad, you will just need to create an ShoppingSmartAdInfo. You can find a full example here.

[Wilson Jacobsen]

Thank you for your help.

For a smart shopping campaign,

Do you have an example of how to enter this information (attached image) via API?

[Google Ads API Forum Advisor Prod]

Hi Wilson,

Assets can be created through AssetService. Here is a guide on how to create and use them.  

Cheers,

[Wilson Jacobsen]

There would be an example for smart shopping campaigns? this link points to responsive display_ad_info. Responsive Display Ad is not compatible with smart shopping campaigns.

best,

Hi Wilson,

Unfortunately, there are no examples on how to create assets for these types of campaigns.
