Optimizing Google Search Campaign by specific conversion Actions

[Malkhazi Dartsmelidze]

Hello. I am using Google Ads PHP library to create Campaign.

I created almost any type of campaigns but didn't manage to optimize them by specific Conversion Actions.

For example: 

I have created 3 different Conversion Actions:

1. customers/[CUSTOMER_ID]/conversionActions/[CONVERSION_ACTION_ID_0]
2. customers/[CUSTOMER_ID]/conversionActions/[CONVERSION_ACTION_ID_1]
3. customers/[CUSTOMER_ID]/conversionActions/[CONVERSION_ACTION_ID_2]

Then I created a Campaign: customers/[CUSTOMER_ID]/campaigns/[CAMPAIGN_ID]

I set bidding strategy to MAXIMIZE CONVERSIONS and then tried to set Conversion Actions to optimize to.

This is my code snippet:

$campaign->setMaximizeConversions(
  new CommonMaximizeConversions([
    'target_cpa' => $this->convert()->micros(1)
  ])
);

$campaign->setSelectiveOptimization(
  new SelectiveOptimization([
    'conversion_actions' => [
      'customers/[CUSTOMER_ID]/conversionActions/[CONVERSION_ACTION_ID_0]',
      'customers/[CUSTOMER_ID]/conversionActions/[CONVERSION_ACTION_ID_1]'
    ]
  ])
);

Thank you.
