Unable to programmatically invite and accept manager requests for clients

[Brady Kieffer]

I'm attempting to run code that links our manager account to client accounts via the API after they've granted our application access. I'm receiving the following error through the API when I attempt to do so:

error_code { 

  manager_link_error: INVALID_CHANGE 

} 

message: "The change for mutate link is invalid." 

location { 

  field_path_elements { 

    field_name: "operation" 

  } 

}

I was previously able to run code to do this on January 27 at ~6pm EST. The underlying protobuf constructed looks like it follows the API spec, so I'm confused as to what's causing the issue. As a work around I'm currently able to invite a user to our manager account internally and programmatically accept the invitation on the behalf of that user, but it's not a scalable solution (I'm also lazy and would like computers to do it :)).

Hi Brady,

Thank you for notifying our team of your issue. It appears that you are trying to implement the linking to manager accounts feature of the Google Ads API, is this correct?

If yes and so our team can have a closer look, could you also share your customer ID and the complete request and response logs, with the request-id? You may then provide the requested details via the Reply privately to author option.

Best regards,
