[Priya]

I am using Goole ads api v1.0 and .net client library. 

I got an Internal server error while creating campaign  and when retied the same request I got "Duplicate Campaign name error".

Hello Priya,

Account to the error duplicate_campaign_name you have to create the campaign with name that is existing in your account even for paused and removed campaigns. campaign name should be unique.

Hi Sai Teja,

Thanks for your feedback.

I used this campaign name for the request for which I received "internal server error" as response. My assumption is that in this scenario , the campaign should not have created as the api returned "internal server error" exception.

However when I retry using the same campaign name in my subsequent attempt, I received a duplicate campaign name error. Does this mean that the campaign was created for my first api call even though the response returned was an internal server error?

Regards,

Priya

I used a unique campaign name for the mutate campaign create operation which returned me an internal server error. when I retry using the same campaign name in my subsequent attempt, I received a duplicate campaign name error. Does this mean that the campaign was created for my first api call even though the response returned was an internal server error?

Hello Priya,

It could be possible. If the internal error occurred in the subsequent operation that are supposed to run after creating the campaign. You could try to pull the campaign by that name to see if any campaign exists with that name.
