Changes to CampaignSharedSet Entities

Starting June 23, 2022, attempting to create a CampaignSharedSet with a shared_set that has a status of REMOVED will cause a MutateError.RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND error in the Google Ads API.

There will also be a one-time change to automatically update CampaignSharedSet entities to a status of REMOVED if they contain a shared_set with a status of REMOVED. Because the shared_set already has a REMOVED status, this won’t impact any active campaigns since we’re only changing CampaignSharedSet entities that don’t currently serve.

Where can I get support?

If you have questions, please reach out to us on the forum or at [email protected].

Support for shared negatives in AdWords Scripts

AdWords Scripts now support negative keyword and excluded ad placement lists, and the ability to share them across campaigns. Follow these links for implementation details and code examples: We have also released a new solution named Master Negative List that uses this feature to maintain a master list of negative keywords and placements for AdWords accounts. The list of negative criteria can be managed from a spreadsheet. Separate versions are available for AdWords accounts and manager accounts.

Special thanks goes to Terence Nip, who implemented this feature during his summer internship at Google.

Give this feature a try and let us know what you think! You can post your questions and feedback on our developer forum.
