Campaign BiddingStrategy resource name is invalid when BiddingStrategy inherited from Manager Account

[David Jones]

Hi, 

I'm using the Google Ads API V7.

I have a portfolio bidding strategy defined in my manager account and I've associated that bidding strategy with a campaign in one of the accounts under that manager account.

When I retrieve that campaign using the campaign service the BiddingStrategy field contains a path that includes the incorrect customer identifier.

• Expected: "customers/<manager account id>/biddingStrategies/<bidding strategy id>"
• Actual: "customers/<campaign account id>/biddingStrategies/<bidding strategy id>"

If I attempt to pass the returned value to the bidding strategy service it fails indicating that the requested entity was not found.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some other way to identify the portfolio bidding strategy when it's inherited from a parent manager account?

Thanks,

David

Hi David,

This behavior is expected because currently, managing/retrieving bidding strategies at the MCC/manager account is currently not supported in the API.

That said, our team has already previously raised a feature request related to this. For now, you may keep an eye on our blog for updates or announcements. I hope this helps.

Best regards,
