AdsApp.​SnippetBuilder

Builder for Snippet objects.

Example usage:

 // Create a snippet builder.
 var snippetBuilder = AdsApp.extensions().newSnippetBuilder();

 // Create a snippet operation.
 var snippetOperation = snippetBuilder
   .withHeader("Business")             // required
   .withValues(["foo","bar","baz"])    // required
   .build();

 // Optional: examine the outcome. The call to isSuccessful()
 // will block until the operation completes.
 if (snippetOperation.isSuccessful()) {
   // Get the result.
   var snippet = snippetOperation.getResult();
 } else {
   // Handle the errors.
   var errors = snippetOperation.getErrors();
 }

build()

Creates a Snippet. Returns a SnippetOperation that can be used to get the new snippet (or access any associated errors if creation failed).

Return values:

Type	Description
AdsApp.SnippetOperation	The associated snippet operation.

withEndDate(date)

Sets the snippet's end date from either an object containing year, month, and day fields, or an 8-digit string in YYYYMMDD format. This field is optional.

For instance, snippetBuilder.withEndDate("20130503"); is equivalent to snippetBuilder.withEndDate({year: 2013, month: 5, day: 3});.

The change will fail and report an error if:

• the given date is invalid (e.g., {year: 2013, month: 5, day: 55}),
• the start date now comes after the end date, or
• it's a date in the past

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
date	Object	The new snippet end date.

Return values:

Type	Description
AdsApp.SnippetBuilder	A snippet builder with the specified end date.

withHeader(header)

Sets the header of the snippet. This field is required.

See the structured snippets header translations page for supported localized headers.

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
header	String	The header of the snippet.

Return values:

Type	Description

withMobilePreferred(isMobilePreferred)

Sets the snippet's device preference to mobile or clears it. This field is optional and defaults to false.

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
isMobilePreferred	boolean	Whether or not this snippet should be mobile preferred. If true is passed in, device preference will be set to mobile. If false is passed in, device preference will be set to none.

Return values:

withSchedules(schedules)

Sets the snippet scheduling. Scheduling of a snippet allows you to control the days of week and times of day during which the snippet will show alongside your ads.

Passing in an empty array clears the scheduling field, causing the snippet to run at all times.

The following example sets the snippet to run on Mondays and Tuesday from 8:00 to 11:00.

  var mondayMorning = {
    dayOfWeek: "MONDAY",
    startHour: 8,
    startMinute: 0,
    endHour: 11,
    endMinute: 0
  };
  var tuesdayMorning = {
    dayOfWeek: "TUESDAY",
    startHour: 8,
    startMinute: 0,
    endHour: 11,
    endMinute: 0
  };

  snippetBuilder.withSchedules([mondayMorning, tuesdayMorning]);

Arguments:
