api error when trying to change max CPC on a campaign optimised by CPA

[yossi.z...@gmail.com]

Hi,

I am trying to change the "automaticModeMaxCpc" on a CPA optimised campaign

But Im getting the error:

'ERROR: {"validationErrors": ["Fully automated optimization can\'t be set for a shared budget"], "message": "Failed to validate one or more request parameters"} [HTTP 400]'

We send the request to endpoint:

https://api.outbrain.com/amplify/v0.1/campaigns/00a51813d582a13dd2108b083afb426787'

with the parameters:

{

     'campaignOptimization': {

          'targetCpaConversionId': u'00a8e1228716e44ed88e3fe83c5953ad4a', 

          'targetCpa': 0.1, 

          'optimizationType': u'TARGET_CPA_FULLY_AUTOMATED',

          'automaticModeMaxCpc': 0.098, 

          'experimentEnabled': False

     }

}

Can you help me out and tell me what is wrong with the request?

Thanks!

Yossi

Hey Yossi,

Our automated modes (TARGET_CPA_FULLY_AUTOMATED is one of them) are currently not supported on campaigns that are part of a shared budget (like this campaign).

If you want to be able to use it you need to have a dedicated budget for that campaign.

Hope this helps,

Benny

Hi,

I am not using shared budgets.

I managed to create the campaign with the budget but now I get the error when I try to change its CPC goal by api.

The campaign id is "00a8e1228716e44ed88e3fe83c5953ad4a"

Thanks

Hi Yossi,

The problem is that you created 2 campaigns using the same budget (00a63f9f2d426923d90af459192d800515)

campaign id 1 - 00a51813d582a13dd2108b083afb426787

campaign id 2 - 0025dd9011ef972a264a1ac029b38f4437

The best way to solve this is to archive 1 campaign and recreate it using a new different budget.

Hope this helps,

Omer
