Hi - it sounds like campaign subtype is now supported in the App Script. Are Trueview for Shopping and/or Trueview for Action Campaigns builds now supported by the App Script as well?

Can you share what we should enter as the Campaign subtype and Bid Strategy should be for each?

For Trueview For Action, our assumption is campaign subtype 'Drive Conversions' and Bid Strategy 'Target CPA' - are these correct?  Please share for Trueview for Shopping.

Any other nuances to building these campaigns via App Script in comparison to normal Trueview campaigns?

Hi Robert,

Ads scripts does not have builders for any campaign type. However, you can build TrueView video ad groups, but not TrueView shopping ad groups. Within the video ad group builder, you can set the target CPA using the withCpa(cpa) method, but scripts does not support setting the campaign subtype (campaign subtype can be set via bulk upload, but TrueView is not supported). 

For any relevant updates regarding TrueView campaigns, please follow our blog.

Hey Matt - would you mind sharing the different string/column values we should use for subtype for each Trueview campaign via Bulk Upload? I'm having difficulty finding the documentation here.  We need the subtypes for

15 Non Skippables
Trueview for Discovery
Trueview for Reach
Trueview for Shopping
Trueview for Action

Thank you

Hi Robert,

Trueview is not available in bulk uploads. The available campaign subtypes supported by bulk uploads can be found on this page (see 'goals' section).
