Hi Mitchell,
I did receive your message on the 30th and I did reply to it. In my private
reply I included full creds / account numbers. I can include those again
privately if needed.
Here was my response:
------------------------
Hi Mitchell,
I think we may be crossing streams a bit in our correspondence here.
We are attempting to set a Campaign bidding strategy to
MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS, not MAXIMIZE_CONVERION_VALUE
In addition, I believe that we are setting the proper field on the Google
campaign ie. we're not setting bidding_strategy directly:
case MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS:
googleCampaign.setBiddingStrategyType(
BiddingStrategyTypeEnum.BiddingStrategyType.MAXIMIZE_CONVERSIONS );
googleCampaign.setMaximizeConversions(
MaximizeConversions.newBuilder().build() );
break;
case MAXIMIZE_CONVERSION_VALUE:
googleCampaign.setBiddingStrategyType(
BiddingStrategyTypeEnum.BiddingStrategyType.MAXIMIZE_CONVERSION_VALUE );
googleCampaign.setMaximizeConversionValue(
getMaximizeConversionValueBiddingScheme( fluentCampaignPlan ) );
break;
We realize that setBiddingStrategyType is read only but the API allows us
to set it so we do, as well as the bidding scheme, which we understand to
be what actually alters the strategy
Here's a full request + response:

One peculiar thing is that since the MaximizeConversion strategy is an
automated strategy, there's no values to set,
ie. MaximizeConversions.newBuilder().build(), which results in
maximize_conversions {
}
I wonder if the API is not recognizing that this is a change in bidding
strategy
If you have any interest in hopping on a call or hangout let me know.
Thanks
Pete
