expandedTextAd().getHeadlinePart1().replace(subString, newString) not working
Faze Advertising
I am inserting the product's price in the first headline and now the prices for some of the products have changed and I'd like do this using the script.
Using the manager account:
I have tried replacing only the price, in the version below I tried replacing the entire headline...still, it is not working. Based on the logs the strings, both for old header and new header, look fine so I just don't understand what it is that I am missing.
I'd like to further develop this and leave it to run on a trigger but the functionality I need is not working :(
object_ads gets the data from a separate function which I didn't share because of some ids I am using there but can share if needed (object is {ad_id1:[new_price, old_price],ad_id2:[new_price, old_price],...})
I am looking forward to a solution for this,
Thank you
function main() {
var arrayKeywords = [];
var object_ads = get_to_change()
var accountIterator = AdsManagerApp.accounts()
.get()
while (accountIterator.hasNext()) {
var account = accountIterator.next();
getAccountsAdGrWithLinks(account,object_ads)
}
}
function getAccountsAdGrWithLinks(account,object){
var links = [];
AdsManagerApp.select(account);
var adGrIterator = AdsApp.adGroups()
.get()
while(adGrIterator.hasNext()){
var adGr = adGrIterator.next()
var adsgr = adGr.ads().get()
while(adsgr.hasNext()){
var ad = adsgr.next()
var id = ad.getId()
if (object[id]){
var intermed = object[id]
var old = intermed[1].toFixed(0) + ' Lei'
var new_a = intermed[0].toFixed(0)+ ' Lei'
var text = ad.asType().expandedTextAd().getHeadlinePart1()
var text_new = text.replace(old,new_a)
Logger.log([old,new_a,text,text_new])
ad.asType().expandedTextAd().getHeadlinePart1().replace(text,text_new)
}
}
}
}

Hello Faze,
We appreciate your patience on this.
I took a closer look at your script and I observed that your script implementation is fine. However, the replace() is not an official method of Google Ads scripts, instead it’s only a method on javascript level. That being said, it is expected that the changes made by the replace method will not be registered on the backend of Google Ads as it only allows you to manipulate the text on script surface level.
I believe that there’s currently no way to change the headlines on ad level through Google Ads new scripts experience. Instead, only the following methods stated in the following links below are supported.
