Changing Target's Location Options of Campaign by Scripts

[Семен Якушов]

Hello.

I need change this parameter using scripts:

Settings -> Campaign settings -> Выбрать Вашу Campaign -> Locations -> Location options -> Target

(

I need to set the second point:

Presence: People in or regularly in your targeted locations

)

I treid use campaign.targeting().setTargetingSetting(), but I dont know what parameteres of setTargetingSetting I need.

I used:

https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/targeting/criteria

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/targetingtypes

https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/CampaignService.CriterionTypeGroup

but it doesn't help.

How I can do it? Pls help! Thanks!

Hi Семен,

Thank you for reaching out to us. Let me do the best I can to assist you in this.

With regard to your concern, the the setTargetingSetting accepts two parameter which is criterionTypeGroup and targetingSetting with the following value definitions:

• criterionTypeGroup - You may check the list of values here: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/CampaignService.CriterionTypeGroup
• targetingSetting - either 'TARGET_ALL_TRUE' or 'TARGET_ALL_FALSE

Thank you for your reply!

Unfortunately, from what you suggested (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/CampaignService.CriterionTypeGroup), setTargetingSetting only works with USER_INTEREST_AND_LIST what is also written here: https://developers.google.com/google-ads/scripts/docs/reference/adsapp/adsapp_campaigntargeting . And it doesn't help me with my problem.
Tell me, is there any other method or a comprehensive solution that allowed me to change the setting I need? (Settings -> Campaign settings -> Выбрать Вашу Campaign -> Locations -> Location options -> Target)

Hi,

This is Ciara from the Google Ads Scripts team as well.

Thank you for providing the requested information. As per checking, I'm afraid that there's indeed no equivalent criteriatype to fit your use case as seen on your screenshot. I could submit this as a feature request. Before I can proceed, could you please share a business use case (or benefit) to the said feature/functionality?

You may send this privately via the reply to author option. If this option is not available on your end, you may send it through our email (googleadsscr...@google.com) instead, for private purposes.
 
Looking forward to your response.


Regards,

Ciara Google Ads Scripts Team

Hi, 

Thanks, that would be great. We'd use the script to automatically pull product IDs achieving above a certain ROAS into a supplemental feed, where they would be added to a best sellers campaign.

Kind regards

Ben
