Hi there! I’m getting in touch to get some technical advice about how to implement an effective integration with Google Ads API. Specifically, we are looking for advice related to incremental changes and deleting old resources.
We have followed the different guidelines and best practices, and we are effectively able to create the required hierarchical resources for a full customer account. Nevertheless, I’m facing a problem tracking the relationship between our client side elements and the Google ads resources. The main matter here is that we are producing elements on the fly, and those are not possibly stored in any persistent system. That also means that we can’t store the “resource_name” of any created resources in different executions of our app. We’d like to implement a workflow to send incremental changes to multiple customer accounts, but we aren’t able to find a way to robustly identify which resources should we create, update or delete. The main issue for us seems to be the detection of elements that are no longer being generated, and thus, should be deleted in Google Ads. Those elements, conceptually, should be the ones not created, updated (or even touched if needed) in every sync execution. Furthermore, we must not override user-introduced data, so those update/delete mutations should only apply when the resource has been managed through API. At this point, we have made a few trials using the register of changes (ChangeEvent resource), but this approach seems to be ineffective since we haven’t found any way to register all kinds of resources changes over there. Do you think this may be a valid approach? How could we touch any kind of resource using the ChangeEvent feature? Also, the documentation tells us that the maximum delay between a mutation and the ChangeEvent appear is 3 minutes, but we’ve experienced higher delays, between 5 and 10 minutes. Could you please give us some advice on how we could face our needs related to detect incremental changes and how to delete “deprecated” resources? Thanks in advance, Joan. -- -- =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog: https://googleadsdeveloper.blogspot.com/ =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "AdWords API and Google Ads API Forum" group.
