Hi Bartu,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

Yes it is possible and you can do this by adding the creative details on the creative assignment of your Ad. You may check this docs for reference.

Hi Micheal,

I am using below script in  AppScript, but couldnt manage to assign creatives, Ad is getting assigned to placement using same method, but creative assisgnment isnt working. Couldnt figure out where im doing wrong .

function _createOneAd(ss, singleAdArray){

  var profileID = _fetchProfileId(hucre1);

  var campaignId = singleAdArray[0];

  var name = singleAdArray[1];

  var startTime = Utilities.formatDate(

      singleAdArray[2], ss.getSpreadsheetTimeZone(),

      'yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSS\'Z\'');

  var endTime = Utilities.formatDate(

      singleAdArray[3], ss.getSpreadsheetTimeZone(),

      'yyyy-MM-dd\'T\'HH:mm:ss.SSS\'Z\'');

  var impressionRatio = singleAdArray[4];

  var priority = singleAdArray[5];

  var type = singleAdArray[6];

  var placementId = singleAdArray[7];

  var creativeId = singleAdArray[8];

  if(priority<10){

    priority = "0"+priority;

  }

  var adResource = {

      "kind": "dfareporting#ad",

      "campaignId":campaignId,

      "name": name,

      "startTime": startTime ,

      "endTime": endTime,

      "deliverySchedule":{

        "impressionRatio":impressionRatio,

        "priority":"AD_PRIORITY_"+priority

      },

      "type":type

    };

  adResource.placementAssignments = [{"placementId":placementId}];

  adResource.creativeAssignment = [{"creativeId":creativeId}];

  var newAd = DoubleClickCampaigns.Ads.insert(

    adResource, profileID);

  return newAd;

}

Hi Bartu,

 

I'm afraid we can only give precise solution in DCM API's perspective. However, let me give you an idea and you just might be able to get a hint where to tweak it. Creative assignments is an object under creative rotation, you cannot directly pass their field just like what you do in placement assignments.

 

You may refer again to this docs and check carefully where it is placed in request body.

Hi,

Yep it worked! . Creative Assignment should be done under Creative Rotation. I am placing sample code below to guide anyone requiring:

"creativeRotation":{

        "creativeAssignments":[{

            "active": true,

            "creativeId":creativeId,

            "clickThroughUrl": {"defaultLandingPage" : true}

          }

        ]

      },

In addition to this , if you are trying to assign creative to ad, ad to placement, in one step, you need to set "active":true , in placement assignment for ad. 


Best Wishes,
