Re: What is the expected method for sharing sitelinks across campaigns using the Campaign Extension Setting service?

I think I am mis understanding  this thread a bit. 

so are you saying, sharing sitelink feed items cross campaigns are impossible because it is done in one mutate call ?  and if sharing is needed use the legacy API ?

this actually fits my original understanding toward the extension documentation. 

I've tried a few ways to share the sitelink feed items using extension service. 

- two extension in one call, -> useless different sitelink feed item id returned

- setting ids to the new sitelink item -> useless, different sitelink feed item id retruned.

Hi Alex,

For Extension Settings Services, we don't separate the process of creating the site link from attaching it to a campaign. It's all done in one mutate call. We still have the feed services option because there are a few cases where it could be useful to use feeds.

Each of our client libraries have examples on creating site links. Here's an AddSiteLinks example in Java, if you want to take a look. You'll want to add a CampaignExtensionSetting with your associated SiteLinkFeedItems for each campaign.

Best,

Hi Umesh,

Thanks for the suggestion, that was what I was originally considering doing. But it seems like that will make different sitelinks across the campaigns, unless I use sitelinks that already exist (i.e. ones that I have the Adwords IDs for) and the SET operation within mutate. I'd like to share the sitelinks across the multiple campaigns, since they will actually be the same sitelinks (and I'd rather not store a mapping between the unified sitelink on my end on the many different sitelinks on the Adwords end). It sounds like in order to do this with the ExtensionSetting services I'd have to go with the approach I originally suggested: ADD to one campaign (to get the IDs), and then SET on the remaining campaigns. If that's the case, that's fine, I was just wondering if there was some way to separate the implicit creation of the sitelinks happening on the ADD step from the campaign-sitelink mapping happening on both the ADD and SET steps. 

Thanks again for the help,

- Alex

Hi Alex,

Yes, you are correct. The CustomerExtensionSettingService will apply the sitelinks to all campaigns in the account. You could use the CampaignExtensionSettingService to add the sitelinks to specific campaigns.  You could create the CampaignExtensionSettingOperation for an individual campaign and pass these CampaignExtensionSettingOperation objects (Campaigns you want to add the sitelinks) to an array as input to the CampaignExtensionSettingService.mutate operation.

Thanks,
