PromotionAdExtension Data Object - Campaign Management
Promotion Extensions highlight special sales and offers in your text ads. By making offers stand out, potential customers are more likely to click on your ad, helping to generate more sales for you.
You can associate a promotion ad extension with the account or with campaigns and ad groups in the account. Each entity (account, campaign, or ad group) can be associated with up to 20 promotion ad extensions.
Note
Promotion Extensions are available for customers in AU, CA, DE, FR, US and UK.

The PromotionStartDate date must be earlier than, or equal to, the PromotionEndDate date. This property does not override the inherent delivery range for a promotion.

The PromotionStartDate date must be earlier than, or equal to, the PromotionEndDate date. This property does not override the inherent delivery range for a promotion. Both the promotion PromotionOccasion and Scheduling determine when the promotion is eligible to be shown in ads. If the end date has already passed for the current year, then each start and end date must be set for dates during the following year. Add: Optional Update: Optional.

| TrackingUrlTemplate | The tracking template to use as a default for all FinalUrls and FinalMobileUrls. The following validation rules apply to tracking templates.

For more information, see Entity Limits. - The length of the tracking template is limited to 2,048 characters. The HTTP or HTTPS protocol string does count towards the 2,048 character limit. - The tracking template must be a well-formed URL beginning with one of the following: http://, https://, {lpurl}, or {unescapedlpurl}. - Microsoft Advertising does not validate whether custom parameters exist. If you use custom parameters in your tracking template and they do not exist, then the landing page URL will include the key and value placeholders of your custom parameters without substitution. For example, if your tracking template is https://tracker.example.com/?season={_season}&promocode={_promocode}&u={lpurl} and neither {_season} or {_promocode} are defined at the campaign, ad group, criterion, keyword, or ad level, then the landing page URL will be the same.Add: Optional Update: Optional. If no value is set for the update, this setting is not changed. If you set this element to an empty string (""), the previous setting will be deleted. |
string |
| UrlCustomParameters | Your custom collection of key and value parameters for URL tracking. Microsoft Advertising will accept the first 3 CustomParameter objects that you include within the CustomParameters object, and any additional custom parameters will be ignored. Each CustomParameter includes Key and Value elements. For customers in the Custom Parameters Limit Increase Phase 3 pilot (GetCustomerPilotFeatures returns 635), Microsoft Advertising will accept the first 8 custom parameter key and value pairs that you include, and if you include more than 8 custom parameters an error will be returned. Add: Optional Update: Optional. If no value is set for the update, this setting is not changed. Set the UrlCustomParameters element to null or empty to retain any existing custom parameters. To remove all custom parameters, set the Parameters element of the CustomParameters object to null or empty. To remove a subset of custom parameters, specify the custom parameters that you want to keep in the Parameters element of the CustomParameters object. |
