Re: Feed item disapproved

Hello Thanet,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I understand Ad customizers is aimed to be used on ads. In my case , I am uploading the data feed for dsa campaigns so it has a column called url (contains urls which dsa campaigns suppose to crawl and  use for triggering ads). This data feed also has price value which will dynamically change in the ads using ad customizer.

Since I am uploading the urls with the data type as STRING there are character limitations. I couldnt mention it as URL or URL_LIST because adcustomizers placeholder doesnt support those types.

So is there any other placeholders types available to use for dsa feed or how to introduce the urls in feed ?

Cheers,

Hello Siva,

First, I don't think the test or production account is an issue in your case.

If I understand you correctly, you've created a feed via API using placeholder type ID 10 (Ad Customizers) and you tried to set a long string, but was prevented by the system.

You then want to change the placeholder field from STRING to URL_LIST but that's not available in this placeholder type, so you couldn't go this way either. 

As you can see in the ad customizer guide, this feed type is aimed to be used in an ad, which originally contains quite a limited space for texts.

Ad customizer was created to provide more flexibility in changing the values, such as integers, strings, prices.

I think as it's still under the space limit constraint, long URLs are not provided as one of the placeholder field for this placeholder type.

I recommend that you re-consider your use case and the reason why you want a long URL inside an ad.

Best,

Hey Guys,

I am uploading dsa data feed in a adwords test account via adwords api. Feed items are being disapproved saying "Value provided is too long". After checking policy data I found that url string length is too long.

But right now we  are uploading the data feed manually ( in production account) by uploading the csv the file which works good and all items are approved. Its the same feed i am trying to upload via api in test account to create a automated feed updation script.

I get this error while the data type for the column 'url' is 'string' and I tried changing the data type to 'URL' when creating a feed (which accepts the url length). But  after that I cannot map this column because there is no place holder value for this type in ad customizer place holder types.

Do I have to use any other place holders types or is this a limitation in test account only?

btw I havent tried uploading in production account using api.

Thanks for your help in advance
