Re: creating a demand gen campaign with youtube engagement goal – support for v18?

[charlesb...@gmail.com]

Hi,

That's a great response, thank you.

Here's the operation that worked for me, for future reference:

{
  "operations": [
    {
      "update": {
        "category": "ENGAGEMENT",
        "biddable": true,
        "origin": "YOUTUBE_HOSTED",
        "resourceName": 
"customers/{customer_id}/campaignConversionGoals/{campaign_id}~ENGAGEMENT~YOUTUBE_HOSTED"
      },
      "updateMask": "category,biddable,origin,resource_name"
    }
  ]
}

Thanks again,

Charles
