Remove a campaign budget

Page Summary

outlined_flag

• Check the budget's reference_count before removing it to ensure no ENABLED or PAUSED campaigns are using it.

• A reference_count greater than 0 indicates the budget is still in use by ENABLED or PAUSED campaigns.

• You can find the reference count by querying campaign_budget.reference_count for a specific budget ID.

• To remove an unused budget, send a remove operation with the campaign budget's resource name.

• Removing a campaign also removes any non-shared budget used by that campaign.

Before removing a budget, ensure that no ENABLED or PAUSED campaigns are using it.

Check the budget reference count

Check the budget's reference_count field before attempting to remove it. If this field is greater than 0, there are ENABLED or PAUSED campaigns still using the budget. You can retrieve this information by querying campaign_budget as the main resource:

SELECT campaign_budget.reference_count
FROM campaign_budget
WHERE campaign_budget.id = campaign_budget_id

Remove the campaign budget

Once you've determined that a CampaignBudget is no longer in use (reference_count = 0) and can be removed, send a CampaignBudgetOperation with remove set to the resource name of the campaign budget:

{
  "operations": [
    {
      "remove": "customers/CUSTOMER_ID/campaignBudgets/CAMPAIGN_BUDGET_ID"
    }
  ]
}
