Good day,
My team are using Google Ads API v8 and we have a set of unit test cases
that run from time to time to check if we are using API in the right way.
>From today, we noticed a test case started failing. It is about setting the
TARGET_CPA bidding strategy to a Search campaign ( which was created with
MANUAL_CPC). The last time the case has passed was 2 days ago.
Wonder if any changes in the API in these 2 days and what actions I should
take to make it work.
