Re: Problem in creating dynamic search ads campaign settings using DynamicSearchAdsSetting

Hi,

Is this still happening in v201601

We just need to set domain and language code for DSA campaign, and when we check on web UI it still show search campaign?

Thanks

Hi!

Yes, I set everything up properly in the DynamicSearchAdsSetting.  as it is revealed when we switch it manually in the Web interface, the settings are there... and they are included in the API's object response after setting up the campaign.

Are you saying the campaign is then setup properly even if the subtype doesn't show in the Web interface?

Hi,

You won't be able to set the subtype via the API (your campaign will be an All features campaign), but by adding the DynamicSearchAdsSetting, your campaign will be enabled for DSAs. The subtype is a user interface-specific flag.

Regarding adding the auto targets, you can do this by adding Webpage criteria as shown in the Specifying criteria for the DSA section of the guide.

Hi!

Any new development on this?  I've been trying to create Dynamic Search Ads campaigns for the last two days too without success (using v201506).  The information presented in the Dynamic Search Ads Guide seems outdated... since it shows the use of KeywordMatchSetting which is no longer in use and it doesn't define the Campaign Type field, which is required (now).

Here's my code that creates the campaign.  It sets every parameter right, but I can't get the Dynamic Search Ads 'subtype' active.  It does accept my Dynamic Search Ads settings object because when I go in the Web user interface to set the sub-type manually it shows the values I submitted through the API.

   

$campaign = new Campaign();
    $campaign->name = $CampaignName;
    $campaign->advertisingChannelType = 'SEARCH';  //looking to create: Search Network only - Dynamic Search Ads
   
    $SearchAdsSettings = new DynamicSearchAdsSetting();
    $SearchAdsSettings->domainName = "autoflash.net";
    $SearchAdsSettings->languageCode = "fr";
    $campaign->settings[] = $SearchAdsSettings;

    // Set network targeting (optional).
    $networkSetting = new NetworkSetting();
    $networkSetting->targetGoogleSearch = TRUE;
    $networkSetting->targetSearchNetwork = TRUE;
    $networkSetting->targetContentNetwork = FALSE;
    $campaign->networkSetting = $networkSetting;
   
    // Set shared budget (required).
    $campaign->budget = new Budget();
    $campaign->budget->budgetId = $BudgetID;

    // Set bidding strategy (required).
    $biddingStrategyConfiguration = new BiddingStrategyConfiguration();
    $biddingStrategyConfiguration->biddingStrategyType = 'MANUAL_CPC';

    // You can optionally provide a bidding scheme in place of the type.
    $biddingScheme = new ManualCpcBiddingScheme();
    $biddingScheme->enhancedCpcEnabled = FALSE;
    $biddingStrategyConfiguration->biddingScheme = $biddingScheme;

    $campaign->biddingStrategyConfiguration = $biddingStrategyConfiguration;

    // Set additional settings (optional).
    $campaign->status = 'PAUSED';
    $campaign->servingStatus = 'PENDING';
    $campaign->startDate = date('Ymd');
    $campaign->endDate = date('Ymd', strtotime('+1 month'));

    // Create operation.
    $operation = new CampaignOperation();
    $operation->operand = $campaign;
    $operation->operator = 'ADD';
    $operations[] = $operation;


  // Make the mutate request.
  $result = $campaignService->mutate($operations);

Also, I couldn't find anywhere how to define the auto targets for the dynamic ads.  Any idea?
