Update target roas in campaign

[Siebert Looije]

Hi,

I am trying to update the target roas with the API. However I get the following error message: 

GoogleAdsException: (<_InactiveRpcError of RPC that terminated with: status = StatusCode.INVALID_ARGUMENT details = "Request contains an invalid argument." debug_error_string = "UNKNOWN:Error received from peer ipv4:74.125.193.95:443 {grpc_message:"Request contains an invalid argument.", grpc_status:3, created_time:"2024-01-04T14:51:29.347713307+00:00"}" >, <_InactiveRpcError of RPC that terminated with: status = StatusCode.INVALID_ARGUMENT details = "Request contains an invalid argument." debug_error_string = "UNKNOWN:Error received from peer ipv4:74.125.193.95:443 {grpc_message:"Request contains an invalid argument.", grpc_status:3, created_time:"2024-01-04T14:51:29.347713307+00:00"}" >, errors { error_code { context_error: OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT } message: "The operation is not allowed for the given context." trigger { string_value: "EXPRESS(EXPRESS_SMART)" } location { field_path_elements { field_name: "operations" index: 0 } field_path_elements { field_name: "update" } field_path_elements { field_name: "maximize_conversion_value" } field_path_elements { field_name: "target_roas" } } } request_id: "fZX_kkC8f6ABE5BOoQspwQ" , 'fZX_kkC8f6ABE5BOoQspwQ')

Code first try:

customer_id = str(customer_id)

# Create the appropriate service and operation based on entity_type

service = client.get_service("CampaignService")

operation = client.get_type("CampaignOperation")

update = operation.update

update.resource_name = service.campaign_path(

customer_id, campaign_id

)

update.maximize_conversion_value.target_roas = target_roas

client.copy_from(

operation.update_mask,

protobuf_helpers.field_mask(None, update._pb),

)

response = service.mutate_campaigns(customer_id=customer_id, operations=[operation]) code second try (changing the update field):

# Cast to string

customer_id = str(customer_id)

# Create the appropriate service and operation based on entity_type

service = client.get_service("CampaignService")

operation = client.get_type("CampaignOperation")

update = operation.update

update.resource_name = service.campaign_path(

customer_id, campaign_id

)

update.target_roas.target_roas = target_roas

client.copy_from(

operation.update_mask,

protobuf_helpers.field_mask(None, update._pb),

)

response = service.mutate_campaigns(customer_id=customer_id, operations=[operation])

print('Updated campaign %s.' % response.results[0].resource_name)

I am following the references in the google ads API and they suggest to use these code. Thanks for the help! Kind regards,

Siebert

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out to the Google Ads API support team.

By reviewing your concern, I understand that you are getting an "OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT" error.

Upon checking, I understand you have provided the error logs but kindly note that error logs are not sufficient to investigate the issue so please provide us complete API logs (request and response with request-id and request header) generated at your end and uncropped UI screenshot of the Google Ads account where you are facing the issue.

If you are using a client library and haven't enabled the logging yet, I would request you to enable logging for the specific client library that you are using. You can refer to the guides Java, .Net, PHP, Python, Ruby or Perl to enable logging at your end. For REST interface requests, you can enable logging via the curl command by using the -i flag.

You can send the details via Reply privately to the author option, or direct private reply to this email.

Hi Siebert,

Apologies for the delay. We had the relevant team take a look at this issue. This campaign is a Google Express campaign, and it doesn't support target_roas as a bidding strategy.

We will add more detailed documentation around this topic.

Anash

Hi Anash,

Thanks for looking into this. So can you explain to me which type of campaign I can use to try it out? 

Furthermore, the way how I was doing it is still correct (the sample code?)

Kind regards,

Siebert Looije

Hi Siebert,

You can look at https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6268637?hl=en for the campaign types that support target_roas. A display campaign is probably the easiest way. You can try this out on the test account UI to be sure.

Yes, the code is fine. It is failing only because of the campaign type mismatch as far as I can tell.
