Hello,
I would create a function to clone campaign settings (without cloning
adgroups etc).
I've read several discussions on this topic, eg
https://groups.google.com/forum/#!newtopic/adwords-api/adwords-api/rErEluYfpAQ
but
the solution proposed to first get the campaign and then adding again
doesn't seem to work because some attributes can't be copied; eg:
function cloneCampaign(
AdWordsServices $adWordsServices,
AdWordsSession $session,
$campaignId
) {
$campaignService = $adWordsServices->get($session,
CampaignService::class);
//
https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/php/basic-operations#add-campaigns
// Create selector.
$selector = new Selector();
$selector->setFields(['Id','CampaignGroupId','Name','Status','ServingStatus','StartDate','EndDate',
//'Budget',
//'ConversionOptimizerEligibility', // This field is read only and
will be ignored when sent to the API.
'AdServingOptimizationStatus',
//'FrequencyCap',
'Settings','AdvertisingChannelType',
'AdvertisingChannelSubType',
//'NetworkSetting',
'Labels',
//'BiddingStrategyConfiguration',
'CampaignTrialType',
'BaseCampaignId',
//'ForwardCompatibilityMap', // This Map provides a place to put
new features and settings in older versions of the AdWords API in the rare
instance we need to introduce a new feature in an older version. It is
presently unused. Do not set a value.
'TrackingUrlTemplate','FinalUrlSuffix','UrlCustomParameters',
//'VanityPharma', // Describes how unbranded pharma ads will be
displayed.
//'UniversalAppCampaignInfo', // Stores information specific to
Universal App Campaigns. This field may not be set.
'SelectiveOptimization'
]);
// Create predicates.
$selector->setPredicates([
new Predicate('CampaignId', 'EQUALS', array($campaignId)),
]);
$page = $campaignService->get($selector);
$campaign = $page->getEntries()[0];
if ($campaign->getStartDate()<date("Ymd"))
$campaign->setStartDate(date("Ymd"));
$campaign->setName($campaign->getName().' cloned '.date("Ymd His"));
print_r($campaign);
// Create an ad group criterion operation and add it to the list.
$operation = new CampaignOperation();
$operation->setOperand($campaign);
$operation->setOperator(Operator::ADD);
$operations[] = $operation;
$ret = $campaignService->mutate($operations);
$newCampaign = $ret->getValue()[0];
echo "New Campaign ID: ".$newCampaign->getId()."\n\n";
print_r($newCampaign);
exit;
}
If you see the Selector there are many rows commented out:
$selector->setFields(['Id','CampaignGroupId','Name','Status','ServingStatus','StartDate','EndDate',
//'Budget',
//'ConversionOptimizerEligibility', // This field is read only and
will be ignored when sent to the API.
'AdServingOptimizationStatus',
//'FrequencyCap',
'Settings','AdvertisingChannelType',
'AdvertisingChannelSubType',
//'NetworkSetting',
'Labels',
//'BiddingStrategyConfiguration',
'CampaignTrialType',
'BaseCampaignId',
//'ForwardCompatibilityMap', // This Map provides a place to put
new features and settings in older versions of the AdWords API in the rare
instance we need to introduce a new feature in an older version. It is
presently unused. Do not set a value.
'TrackingUrlTemplate','FinalUrlSuffix','UrlCustomParameters',
//'VanityPharma', // Describes how unbranded pharma ads will be
displayed.
//'UniversalAppCampaignInfo', // Stores information specific to
Universal App Campaigns. This field may not be set.
'SelectiveOptimization'
]);
All those rows can't be read, I've the following errors:
[SelectorError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME @ serviceSelector; trigger:'Budget',
SelectorError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME @ serviceSelector;
trigger:'ConversionOptimizerEligibility', SelectorError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME
@ serviceSelector; trigger:'FrequencyCap', SelectorError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME
@ serviceSelector; trigger:'NetworkSetting',
SelectorError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME @ serviceSelector;
trigger:'BiddingStrategyConfiguration', SelectorError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME @
serviceSelector; trigger:'ForwardCompatibilityMap',
SelectorError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME @ serviceSelector; trigger:'VanityPharma',
SelectorError.INVALID_FIELD_NAME @ serviceSelector;
trigger:'UniversalAppCampaignInfo']
So how can I clone a campaign and clone budget and other settings too?
If I comment out those fields and I run the script I see these settings in
one of my campaign:
[settings:protected] => Array
(
[0] => Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\GeoTargetTypeSetting
Object
(
[positiveGeoTargetType:protected] => DONT_CARE
[negativeGeoTargetType:protected] => DONT_CARE
[SettingType:protected] => GeoTargetTypeSetting
[parameterMap:Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\Setting:private] => Array
(
[Setting.Type] => SettingType
)
)
[1] => Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\ShoppingSetting Object
(
[merchantId:protected] => 10677451
[salesCountry:protected] => NL
[campaignPriority:protected] => 0
[enableLocal:protected] =>
[SettingType:protected] => ShoppingSetting
[parameterMap:Google\AdsApi\AdWords\v201809\cm\Setting:private] => Array
(
[Setting.Type] => SettingType
)
)
)
For the geotargeting you see the DONT_CARE, while in my real campaign I've
some specific positive and negative locations. Do you know why?
Any help is appreciated. I'm looking into a reliable way to create
campaigns from starting campaign templates.
Thank you!
