Added Dimensions of Start Date and End Date across Campaign, Advertiser, & Placement

[Aiden Doti]

Hi,

I am working with CM360 data in Looker Studio to create pacing dashboards. It would be great to have start date and end date in the API since it is a native field in CM360.

Thanks,

Aiden

Thank you for your response. I was hoping to get fields added to the API that I think should be in the connection.

I specifically looking at the API from CM360 to Looker Studio.

Start Date (of campaign), and End Date (of campaign) are large pieces of information in Cm360 that I think would contribute to analysis if added to the API. 

Let me know if there is another team I should reach out to.

Hi,

I understand you're looking for the Start Date and End Date fields for campaigns in the CM360 API to improve analysis in Looker Studio. After reviewing the CM360 API documentation, I can confirm that both Start Date and End Date are already available as part of the campaign resource. You can find the relevant documentation here: Campaign Resources.

To assist further, I replicated your request by creating a sample campaign with these fields, and I received a successful response. However, during the setup, I noticed that certain fields are mandatory when creating campaigns. Specifically, defaultLandingPageId, name, and advertiserId must be provided. If any of these fields were overlooked, it may explain why you’re not seeing the expected data.

Please ensure that all mandatory fields, including the Landing Page URL, are included when creating your campaigns. If you continue to encounter any issues or need further assistance, feel free to reach out.

Hi,

Thank you for the response! Are you able to provide the example you made on your own? It would be helpful to see exactly what that example is. 

Also we have those parameters in place in CM360 and was wondering if this will still work if the campaign is only 1x1 placements and if there are other URLS being assigned to placements as well?

CCing my media team for any other questions as well.

Thanks,

• CM360 Setup with 1x1 Placements and Multiple URLs: Regarding your question about the 1x1 placements, as the specified size is available in the CM360 API documentation, this setup should work without any issues. You can use 1x1 placements in your campaign, and the system will support them. Additionally, here is the CM360 API documentation for placement creation resources you can use: CM360 API Documentation.

I hope this helps!
