To those that read this: The issue was the account was called "accounts-t...@companyname.com" (the setup instructions use theis specific email as an example: "test-mana...@mycompany.example.com")
HOWEVER: Google/gmail IGNORES after the minus sign in email addresses - so given our main account is "accou...@companyname.com" it was somehow getting confused / using the same address. With this new account I managed to get set up, it just worked straight off. Only figured it out as accounts team started getting spam from the google group on their main email :D Perhaps reconsider using a dash in your example email, google :) On Friday, February 11, 2022 at 3:20:20 AM UTC+1 adsapi wrote: > Hi Matthew, > > Thank you for the reply. > > Yes, the step that they mentioned on that thread discussed here > <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/first-call/overview?hl=en> > including the link and to use a new Google account. > > As for this issue below, to take a closer look at it, would you be able to > provide the steps with screenshots on how you encountered it?
