Hello everyone, I've been using the API for a couple years now with my MCC linked accounts. So far so good. Now I want to allow users to provide me access to their accounts (OAuth2) and then link their account with my MCC so I can supervise their accounts from my AdWords dashboard. Getting the OAuth authorization was simple. I'm able to read the user's account data just fine
Problem is that I just can't use ManagedCustomerService's mutate_link to connect the client account to my MCC. The problems lies in that I don't know what should be the header's clientCustomerId, and I've tried all combinations. Here are the problems in details. Note 1: MCC's id is 590-270-6053, client account 859-502-0823. Note 2: I acquired the client account id by calling getCustomers in the CustomerService. Note 3: I've tried both production MCC and test MCC account, both with the same results. The client account is a real one. The examples below use test account *Scenario 1: MCC's access token, clientCustomerId=client's* *Outgoing request:* SOAPAction: "mutateLink", User-Agent: Ruby AdHoc (AwApi-Ruby/1.2.0, Common-Ruby/1.0.1, GoogleAdsSavon/1.0.3, ruby/2.3.1, HTTPI/2.4.3, httpclient), Authorization: REDACTED, Content-Type: text/xml;charset=UTF-8, Content-Length: 1050 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><env:Envelope xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";
