Set Target-CPA for campaign level

[Itay Meir]

Hello,

We have display ad groups which are managed with campaign level Target-CPA.

Is it possible to change Target-CPA for campaign level?

I've only managed to find how to change ad group level Target-CPA..

Thanks in advance!

Hi Itay,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

When you say "change Target-CPA", are you referring the Target-CPA as a BiddingStrategy? If yes, then you can simply update the campaign bidding strategy using the setStrategy(biddingStrategy) method.

However, if you're referring to update the Target CPA bid in the campaign level, then I'm afraid that this is only possible in the UI and not via Google Ads scripts. Updating the Target CPA bid via scripts is only available in the Adgroup level using the setCpa(cpa) method.

Hope this helps.

Campaign Level CPAs are possible to change via "bulk uploads" via scripts. 

I have a working script which I use.

tCPAs are loaded from a Google Sheet and pushed to Google Ads as a bulk upload.

Can you please post a sample?

Sorry,  I can't show it outright as I wrote this script for a customer who actually paid for it.

I can give you a hint though...

Setup a Google Sheet with these columns:

campaign | target CPA

Load the sheet with the script. 

Then use this key part in the script:

      var upload = AdsApp.bulkUploads().newFileUpload(tempSheet);

      upload.forCampaignManagement();

      //and push it to the account

      upload.apply()

I understand. I don't want the script. I wanted the fields used.

Here is my code:

var csv = AdsApp.bulkUploads().newCsvUpload(columns, {moneyInMicros: false});
for (var i = 0; i < campaignsData.length; i++) {
var name = campaignsData[i].name;
var campaignName = `Auto - ${name}`;
if (!!AdsApp.campaigns().withCondition(`Name = '${campaignName}'`).get().totalNumEntities()) {
Logger.log(`Campaign with name '${campaignName}' already exists.`);
} else {
Logger.log(`Creating campaign: '${campaignName}'.`);

const row = {
'Campaign': campaignName,
'Currency code': 'CAD',
'Budget': campaignsData[i].budget,
'Budget Type': 'Daily',
'Bid strategy type': campaignsData[i].bidStrategyType,
'Campaign type': campaignType,
'Campaign subtype': campaignSubType,
};

if (campaignsData[i].bidStrategyType == 'Target CPA') {
row['Target CPA'] = campaignsData[i].cpa;
}

csv.append(row);
}
}

csv.forCampaignManagement();
csv.apply();

The code above works for Manual CPA,

Okay I see you have a different approach... Is there any problem with it?

The code looks solid.

I found out the problem. the columns variable did not have 'Target CPA'.
