Re: Attempting to Modify an Ads final_url value fails. Also, possible bug found || ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

Hi Chad, Thank you for the reply. Kindly note that we asked for the complete logs (request and response with request-id) to be sure that the ads you are updating are indeed ImageAd or other types that are not supported through the Google Ads API, as the ad that you have provided is reducted an

Re: Attempting to Modify an Ads final_url value fails. Also, possible bug found || ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

I guess there is this bug I brought up: By the way, the for loop with the comment saying "Fixed bug", that is because the update mask was made wrong... It came out like this by default (immediately fails): update_mask { paths: "update.resource_name" paths: "update.final_urls" } update

Re: Attempting to Modify an Ads final_url value fails. Also, possible bug found || ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

Based on your explanation, it sounds like the error I've received is the expected behavior. By my understanding, the API does not support our need and there are no alternatives. "Since you are using AdService , kindly no

Re: Attempting to Modify an Ads final_url value fails. Also, possible bug found || ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

Hello, Thank you for getting back to us. Please note that the Google Ads API manages accounts from the customer level down to the keyword level. The API can do what the Google Ads UI does, but programmatically. So there is no other API that can be used to modify your Ad. I would really like to

Re: Attempting to Modify an Ads final_url value fails. Also, possible bug found || ad_error: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

Thanks. Are there any workarounds? Maybe a different API? We've got about 400 image ads, and one of the team members hardcoded utm parameters into the final urls. We use a tracking template though, and these hardcoded parameters are damaging to data quality. I'm hoping we can avoid needing to

Re: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

Hello Aryeh, thank you for the overview of ad types. That was very helpful. I have tried what happens when one „edits“ for example the final url of an immutable image ad in the google ads web app, and then apparently a modified ad is created and the old ad is removed. Fair enough. Now I won

RE: CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

Hi there, According to our documentation an image ad is immutable. You can create a new one based on the old one instead. If the above also causes errors, could you turn on logging with log level set to 'DEBUG' and send us privately the request and response log of API communication created wit

CANNOT_MODIFY_AD

Hello, I am receiving AdError.CANNOT_MODIFY_AD on attempting to modify image_ads. According to the request logs, the error field path points to operations.update.resource_name with trigger empty string. The resource name is set, though. Sadly the documentation about this error type is unclea

Hi Pat, It will effectively be like an update and the feed ids and feed item ids will be same as the one during the ADD operation. Thanks, Sreelakshmi, AdWords API Team =~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~=~ Also find us on our blog and discussion group: http://googleadsdevelope

Re: "cannot_modify_Ad" Error Updating Final URLs for Ads

Thanks Sreelakshmi. That makes sense. Does the SET operation in step 4 act like creating a completely new sitelink that creates a new ID etc. or is it simply just acting like an update/edit function to the already created sitelink? Thanks! Pat On Tuesday, January 29, 2019 at 4:11:32 PM UTC-5

RE: "cannot_modify_Ad" Error Updating Final URLs for Ads

Hi Pat, Yes, the ADD and SET works as same for extension setting services. Based on your use-case, the steps might be similar to as follows : 1. Add the sitelink extension using the CampaignExtensionsettingService

Re: "cannot_modify_Ad" Error Updating Final URLs for Ads

Thanks Sreelakshmi. Is there a way to update the final URLs after the initial time of creating the site link without creating an entirely new site link? In my situation, one team would be creating the site link and inputting the base URL, and then an internal tool would be taking that base URL

Hi Pat, Those are two different ways of updating the sitelinks. If you are using the extension setting services at various levels (Customer/AdGroup/Campaign) to create the extensions, I would recommend using the same to m

Re: "cannot_modify_Ad" Error Updating Final URLs for Ads

Hi Sreelakshmi, Thanks for the response. Does the mutate operation including removing old entries and creating new with updates? My objective is to set the final URL for sitelinks via the API. Do you think CampaignExtensionSettingService

RE: "cannot_modify_Ad" Error Updating Final URLs for Ads

Hi Pat, AdService can only mutate the Ad and not a feed item (sitelink). If you would like to update a specific extension at the campaign level, you will need to use the CampaignExtensionSettingService

Re: "cannot_modify_Ad" Error Updating Final URLs for Ads

Hi Sreelakshmi, A follow up question on this. Is the Adservice able to update URLs for ads that belong to site links or does your previous response hold true for sitelinks as well? Thanks! Pat On Monday, November 5, 2018 at 4:00:12 PM UTC-5, Sreelakshmi Sasidharan (AdWords API Team) wrote: >

Re: "cannot_modify_Ad" Error Updating Final URLs for Ads

Hi Pat, Yes, those Ad types are not supported by AdService. Hence, you may need to remove the old ad and create the new ad with the updates. This will create a new ad and you will no longer have the historical stats associated with it. You will be able to see the historical stats associated wi

Thanks Sreelakshmi! To confirm, the API doesn't have the ability to edit URLs for regular image display ads, youtube, or gmail ads? Will it ever have that capability? On Thursday, November 1, 2018 at 3:09:01 PM UTC-4, Sreelakshmi Sasidharan (AdWords API Team) wrote: > > Hello Pat, > > Starti
