Hi,
Thank you for coming back to us and for providing additional information. I
hope you are doing well today.
As mentioned before the error, FIELD_INCOMPATIBLE_WITH_NEGATIVE_TARGETING means
that the field is not allowed to be set when the negative field is set to true,
for example, we don't allow bids in negative ad group or campaign criteria.
That being said, please note that if the ‘negative’ field is set as ‘false’, we
are creating positive / standard keywords. Refer to the KeywordsInfo section in
the Campaign Criteria documentation, which states you can only exclude keywords
at the campaign level.
Thus, the API request call worked and created a negative keyword when the
negative field was set to ‘TRUE’ and you received an error when the negative
field was set to ‘FALSE’. The field is not allowed to be set when the negative
field is set to true, e.g. we don't allow bids in negative Adgroup or campaigns
like what I said earlier. Let me know if you have further questions.
In your case, since you didn’t set any, kindly note that if you are using the
gender or userlist it needs to explicitly set "negative" to true. With that,
could you please try to add “negative”: “true” on your query, like shown below?
"operations": [
{
"create": {
"campaign": "customers/9115134537/campaigns/20532740378",
“negative”: “true”,
"bid_modifier": 1,
"gender": {
"type": "MALE"
}
}
}
]
}
Let us know how it goes on your end.
Have a great day.
This message is in relation to case "ref:_00D1U1174p._5004Q2nquf7:ref"
Thanks,
