Re: Got INVALID_ANONYMOUS_BIDDING_STRATEGY_TYPE when setting target CPA for search campaigns

[Julien Stoeffler]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the pointers, it seems that we're experiencing this issue 
because of this update 

.


*Starting on September 30, 2021, Google Ads API developers won’t be able to 
create new TargetCpa or TargetRoas standard bidding strategies in Search 
campaigns. This change will prevent creating new Search campaigns that use 
these strategies, as well as prevent updating existing Search campaigns to 
use these strategies. Instead, use the new optional target CPA field with 
MaximizeConversions, and the new target ROAS field with 
MaximizeConversionValue. This change will not affect portfolio (shared) 
bidding strategies.*
Best,

Julien

[Thanajiranaj Pattanasakpinyo]

I found the solution to fix this, you can change the code following below
*current code (C#)*
campaign.TargetCpa = new TargetCpa
{
TargetCpaMicros = Convert.ToInt64(bidValue * 
1_000_000)
};
*new code (C#)*
campaign.MaximizeConversions = new MaximizeConversions
{
TargetCpa = Convert.ToInt64(bidValue * 1_000_000)
};

Hi Julien,

At the bottom of the page of Bidding Strategy Types it points out that a 
portfolio-only bidding scheme in the context of a standard strategy generates 
the error. The valid context of a TargetCPA bidding strategy type is only 
portfolio based and not campaign based.

Re: Got INVALID_ANONYMOUS_BIDDING_STRATEGY_TYPE when setting target CPA for search campaigns

[Julien Stoeffler]

Hi, I got the a very similar same issue: trying to change bidding strategy 
from "Maximize Conversions" to "Target CPA" fails with:

 
{"errors":[{"error_code":{"bidding_error":"INVALID_ANONYMOUS_BIDDING_STRATEGY_TYPE"},"message":"Bidding
 
strategy is not supported or cannot be used as 
anonymous.","trigger":{"string_value":"TARGET_CPA"},"location":{"field_path_elements":[{"field_name":"operations","index":0},{"field_name":"update"},{"field_name":"target_cpa"}]}}],"request_id":"[REDACTED]"}

It used to work a week ago.
