Hi, The issue here is that you are assuming that campaign names are unique across all states. However, the uniqueness rules in AdWords recently changed so that you now can have multiple DELETED campaigns with the same name, but names must be unique among ACTIVE or PAUSED campaigns.
Using the case below as an example, here's the sequence of events: 1. Attempt to create an ACTIVE campaign with name "Test Campaign Name". This fails because there is already an ACTIVE campaign with that name. 2. Query campaigns by name and choose the first ID returned. It just so happens that this is an ID for a DELETED campaign. 3. Attempt to set the campaign found in step 2 to ACTIVE. This fails again because there is a different ACTIVE or PAUSED campaign with that campaign's name. To fix this, you can modify step 2 to include a Predicate on Status<https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201402/CampaignService.Campaign#status> that will only pick up ACTIVE or PAUSED campaigns, in which case you will get back only *one* campaign from your *get* request. Keep in mind that this will only handle the case where the campaign that already exists is in the ACTIVE or PAUSED state. If one or more campaigns already exist with the same name but they are DELETED then you will no longer get an error. AdWords now lets you have one or more DELETED campaigns with the same name, and that same name can also be used on one (and only one) ACTIVE or PAUSED campaign. One final note is that we are aware that the UNEXPECTED_INTERNAL_API_ERROR is not particularly helpful for the case where you set a DELETED campaign to ACTIVE or PAUSED and there's a name conflict. We're working on fixing it to return a more informative exception message and type.
