Hi,
Please be informed that I have removed your response from the forums as it
contains the PII information.
Based on the logs, I could see that you have encountered
OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT error particularly at the 'manual_cpc'
field while creating the demand gen campaign. Kindly note that 'manual_cpc'
bidding strategy is not supported for the demand gen campaigns and that's the
main reason why you are encountering OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_CONTEXT error.
Supported bidding strategies for the demand gen campaigns are maximize clicks,
target CPA, maximize conversions, and target ROAS. I would recommend you to
refer to this documentation for more detailed information regarding the demand
gen campaign bidding strategies.
Additionally, as your main goal is to create the demand gen campaign with
'Clicks' as the main goal, so I would recommend you to create the demand gen
campaign with 'maximize clicks' as a bidding strategy. Maximize clicks
corresponding bidding strategy name in the Google Ads API is 'TARGET_SPEND'. I
would recommend you to refer to this guide for more information. We have tried
this approach and we were able to achieve it as per your requirement, so I
would suggest you to remove the 'manaul_cpc' and try adding the TARGET_SPEND
and let us know how it goes from your end. However, I am sharing a sample
request body for the campaign operation:
{
"operations": [
{
"create": {
"advertisingChannelType": "DEMAND_GEN",
"name": "Demand gen campaign cpc",
"campaignBudget":
"customers/{customerId}/campaignBudgets/{campaignBudgetId}",
"status": "ENABLED",
"containsEuPoliticalAdvertising":
"DOES_NOT_CONTAIN_EU_POLITICAL_ADVERTISING",
"targetSpend": {}
}
}
]
}
As you are performing bulk mutate calls using the GoogleAdsService and the
campaign operation failed which resulted in the following operations to fail
and resulted in a RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND error. Once you update your campaign
operation with the 'TARGET_SPEND' bidding strategy the corresponding operations
will succeed and the RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND error will get resolved.
Thanks,
Google Ads API Team
