Creating Asset Group on Performance Max Campaign

[Richard Cutting]

Hi,

I'm seeing some odd behaviour when trying to create an Asset Group on a Performance Max campaign.

If I create an Asset Group on a campaign that has been manually created through the UI I can create a new Asset Group through the API calls and then add Assets as required.

If I try to create an Asset Group on a campaign that has been programatically created I get the errors returned as below:

{"errors":[{"error_code":{"asset_group_error":"NOT_ENOUGH_BUSINESS_NAME_ASSET"},"message":"Business name asset for a

valid asset group is not enough.","trigger":{"string_value":"Asset type: business

name"},"location":{"field_path_elements":[{"field_name":"operations","index":0}]}},{"error_code":{"request_error":"UNKNOWN"},"message":"The

error code is not in this version.","trigger":{"string_value":"Asset type:

description"},"location":{"field_path_elements":[{"field_name":"operations","index":0}]}},{"error_code":{"asset_group_error":"NOT_ENOUGH_HEADLINE_ASSET"},"message":"Headline

headline"},"location":{"field_path_elements":[{"field_name":"operations","index":0}]}},{"error_code":{"asset_group_error":"NOT_ENOUGH_SQUARE_MARKETING_IMAGE_ASSET"},"message":"Square

description"},"location":{"field_path_elements":[{"field_name":"operations","index":0}]}},{"error_code":{"asset_group_error":"NOT_ENOUGH_MARKETING_IMAGE_ASSET"},"message":"Marketing

image asset for a valid asset group is not enough.","trigger":{"string_value":"Asset type: marketing

image"},"location":{"field_path_elements":[{"field_name":"operations","index":0}]}},{"error_code":{"asset_group_error":"NOT_ENOUGH_LONG_HEADLINE_ASSET"},"message":"Long

headline asset for a valid asset group is not enough.","trigger":{"string_value":"Asset type: long

headline"},"location":{"field_path_elements":[{"field_name":"operations","index":0}]}},{"error_code":{"asset_group_error":"NOT_ENOUGH_LOGO_ASSET"},"message":"Logo

asset for a valid asset group is not enough.","trigger":{"string_value":"Asset type:

logo"},"location":{"field_path_elements":[{"field_name":"operations","index":0}]}}],"request_id":"sm01j7ABUgUBnxsIVbypaA"}

It looks like it's complaining about missing assets - but I can't add the assets until I have an asset group resource name.

I'm using the node google-ads-api .

Richard.

I've resolved the issue. What was happening was that the Ads UI let me create invalid asset groups when I then tried to copy those asset groups programatically using the API's Google doesn't like it.

If your using node you also need to use the MutateOperation rather than customer.assetGroup.create(...).
