Hi! I'm not able to add a LifeEvent <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v18/LifeEvent?hl=en> as targeting to a display campaign using the java sdk. Looking at the Audience Management documentation <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/remarketing/overview#audience_segment_types_in_a_userlist> and source code of the sdk it seems the only way to do it is using Audience <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v18/Audience>, which is supported only for Performance Max and Discovery campaigns, not Display campaigns.
For Display campaigns, targeting is supported via Audience Segments <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/remarketing/audience-segments/getting-started> using User Lists <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/remarketing/audience-segments/getting-started>. Unfortunately Life Events can't be added there. There's no way to add it directly to the AdGroupCriterion <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v16/AdGroupCriterion?hl=en> either (like with UserInterests or Topics). Which is surprising, as when adding a LifeEvent to a campaign using the UI, there is actually an AdGroupCriterion created looking like this: ad_group_criterion { resource_name: "customers/xx/adGroupCriteria/xx~xx" status: ENABLED type: LIFE_EVENT system_serving_status: ELIGIBLE approval_status: APPROVED criterion_id: xx ad_group: "customers/xx/adGroups/xx" negative: false display_name: "95026" primary_status: ELIGIBLE } But there's no way creating another AdGroupCriterion like this.
