When trying to apply a custom bid strategy with "Maximize conversions" to a
Display campaign through the API we get the following response:
Failure:
{"errors":[{"errorCode":{"biddingError":"CANNOT_ATTACH_BIDDING_STRATEGY_TO_CAMPAIGN"},"message":"Cannot
attach bidding strategy to
campaign.","trigger":{"stringValue":""},"location":{"fieldPathElements":[{"fieldName":"operations","index":0},{"fieldName":"create"},{"fieldName":"bidding_strategy"}]}}],"requestId":"WiTJxmRgJTjYHssamlcMcA"}
After doing some research We've found some old posts which state that
"Maximize Conversions" isn't applicable to Display campaigns. However our
current display campaigns are running using "Maximize conversions" (But not
using a portfolio bid stategy). Also the documentation referred to in those
posts, now do list support for display campaigns
https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/campaigns/bidding/strategy-types
.
In the interface from Google Ads, when attaching campaigns, it also only
lists Search campaigns, however both CPA and "Create a shared budget to
use" are disabled (because we attach a shared budget on campaign level).
I feel like we're missing something simple, but we cannot seem to pinpoint
what it is exactly. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
