Re: Mobile Device criterion targeting on a campaign

[James Matthews]

HI Bharani, 

Thanks for the explanation and help. I have had success using  
ConstantDataService.getMobileDeviceCriterion() 

  
to get the ids and have been able to add mobile devices to a campaign.
I have a further question. How do i negatively set mobile devices on a 
campaign. (to exclude these devices from a campaign). The isNegative Field 
states it is readonly, is there a way to set this? 
Currently i can only set a mobile device onto a campaign where isNegative 
is false. Am i correct in assuming the isNegative field will target these 
mobiles if false and exclude them if true? 

Example of response below showing isNegative as false:


2087725659

ACTIVE

CampaignCriterion




Kind Regards, 
James

Hi Peter, 

Thank you for the feedback and help. Unfortunately even when using an ADD 
operation the error returned is still stating a id must be set.

I have tried setting the id to 0 and null and give errors of out of range

to what may be going wrong? 

Kind Regards,

Mobile Device criterion targeting on a campaign

[James Matthews]

Hi, 

I am currently trying to add specific mobile device targeting to many large 
campaigns. The web based interface on adwords means this has to be manually 
done for each campaign and will take a very long time. 

I have looked into adding the mobile device targeting via PHP and using the 
the Adwords API library but have no yet had any success.

>From my understanding i will want to use the 
Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\MobileDevice class to do this and the 
/AdWords/v201809/Targeting/AddCampaignTargetingCriteria.php class could 
serve as a base for this? 

I have managed to send a request to google to fetch a device by name. 

e.g. 
$mobile = new MobileDevice();
$mobile->setDeviceName('Samsung J5 Prime (SM-G570F)');

$campaignCriteria[] = new CampaignCriterion($campaignId, null, $mobile);

... 
etc


The response fails and states that i need to set the device id, however i 
have no been able to find any resource or api call that references these 
id's? 

The webpage here lists lots of differnt criterion id's but none for mobile 
devices. 
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/codes-formats#platforms

How should i do this?

Regards,
James
