Creating a Things to do ad group ad

Creating a Things to do ad involves two steps:

  1. Creating an Ad and setting its travel_ad to an instance of TravelAdInfo.

  2. Creating an AdGroupAd and associating the previously created Ad to it.

Java

private String addAddGroupAd(
    GoogleAdsClient googleAdsClient, long customerId, String adGroupResourceName) {
  // Creates a new travel ad.
  Ad ad = Ad.newBuilder().setTravelAd(TravelAdInfo.newBuilder()).build();
  // Creates a new ad group ad and sets its ad to the travel ad.
  AdGroupAd adGroupAd =
      AdGroupAd.newBuilder()
          // Sets the ad to the ad created above.
          .setAd(ad)
          // Set the ad group ad to enabled. Setting this to paused will cause an error for
          // Things to do campaigns. Pausing should happen at either the ad group or campaign
          // level.
          .setStatus(AdGroupAdStatus.ENABLED)
          // Sets the ad group.
          .setAdGroup(adGroupResourceName)
          .build();

  // Creates an ad group ad operation.
  AdGroupAdOperation operation = AdGroupAdOperation.newBuilder().setCreate(adGroupAd).build();

  // Issues a mutate request to add an ad group ad.
  try (AdGroupAdServiceClient adGroupAdServiceClient =
      googleAdsClient.getLatestVersion().createAdGroupAdServiceClient()) {
    MutateAdGroupAdResult mutateAdGroupAdResult =
        adGroupAdServiceClient
            .mutateAdGroupAds(Long.toString(customerId), Collections.singletonList(operation))
            .getResults(0);
    System.out.printf(
        "Added an ad group ad with resource name: '%s'%n",
        mutateAdGroupAdResult.getResourceName());
    return mutateAdGroupAdResult.getResourceName();
  }
}

        AdGroup = adGroup
    };

        customerId.ToString(), new AdGroupAdOperation[] { new AdGroupAdOperation() {
            Create = adGroupAd
        }}
