Script issues

[Shashank Tiwari]

Hey team,

Came across 2 errors as follows:

1. In new experience, removeLabel() isn't working. It doesn't throw an error but doesn't remove the label either. the same works in old experience.

2. campaign.extensions().sitelinks().get() --> this isn't returning any sitelinks in old experience. the same campaign returns sitelinks when executed in new experience.

Can you give an estimate for the 1st issue as to when can that be expected to be resolved, and if 2 is now expected as it doesn't let you fetch sitelinks in old experience anymore.

Thanks!

Cheers,

Shashank

Following up,

Will there be an instance where Old Experience code will just not work?  

The AdWords API  will be sunset, and new Google Ads API isn't fully supported except for reports. 

Will the old Experience be compatible with new Google Ads API too? 

Else the AdWords API should be supported as long as the old experience is available.

Can you please confirm these? 

Thanks!

Hello Shashank,

I’m James, a member of the Google Ads scripts support team. Thank you for raising your concern to us.

Regarding your concern #1, I would like to inform you that we are already aware of the ongoing issue with the removeLabel method and we are working closely to resolve this issue. I'm afraid that I cannot share any specific timeline but we appreciate your continued patience on this. Rest assured we will update this thread once we have received any feedback from them.

Regarding your concern #2, can you please provide us with the following details below via the ‘Reply privately to author’ option so that we can further check?

• Google Ads account ID / CID
• Name of the affected script
• Screenshot of the issue

On the other hand, to answer your follow up questions, according to our blog, all new scripts will default to the new scripts experience, although you can still disable it on a script by script basis if necessary (by toggling off the new experience option in the script interface). Existing scripts(legacy version) won't be affected until September of 2022. After that, we will migrate all scripts to the new experience. That being said, it is indeed that Adwords API should work as long as the legacy version is available. Take note that the new script experience is now based on the infrastructure of Google Ads API.

You should manually move your scripts over to the new experience before then to ensure continued functionality. We've tried to implement backwards compatibility, but we can't guarantee every script will work without changes, so definitely take some time to confirm yourself. You may refer to this migration guide for more details.

James Howell Google Ads Scripts Team

1. removeLabel() works for me in the new experience, but only after labels() selector is called for the same entity. So try

let adLabelSelector = ad.labels();

ad.removeLabel(name);

Hello Peter,

We appreciate your effort sharing your insights here. Your suggestion seems to be a helpful alternative. However, for now we cannot further comment because our internal team is currently investigating the underlying issues with removeLabel method. 

On the other hand, I observed that you already created a separate thread in our forum which also discusses the same subject. That said, it’s best if we continue our discussion on that thread for better tracking of your concern. Also, rest assured that we will update this thread and the separate thread that you originally created for any feedback that we have received from our internal team.

I'm seeing the same thing with keywords. 

This will not work:

var keywords = AdsApp.keywords().withIds(KeywordIDs).get();

while (keywords.hasNext()) {
  var keyword = keywords.next();

  keyword.removeLabel(MY_LABEL_NAME); //Remove the label.
}

This does work:

var keywords = AdsApp.keywords().withIds(KeywordIDs).get();

while (keywords.hasNext()) {
  var keyword = keywords.next();
  let keywordLabelSelector = keyword.labels();

  keyword.removeLabel(MY_LABEL_NAME); //Remove the label.
}
