Ad Group Customer List Association Record - Bulk

  • Article

Defines an Ad Group Customer List Association that can be uploaded and downloaded in a bulk file.

Audience targets cannot be set both campaign and ad group level. If you set any biddable campaign level audience criteria, then you cannot set any biddable ad group level audience criteria. Audience exclusions can be set at both campaign and ad group level. Microsoft Advertising applies a union of both campaign and ad group level exclusions.

Tip

For an overview and more information about audiences, see the Audience APIs technical guide.

You can download all Ad Group Customer List Association records in the account by including the DownloadEntity value of AdGroupCustomerListAssociations in the DownloadCampaignsByAccountIds or DownloadCampaignsByCampaignIds service request. Additionally the download request must include the EntityData scope. For more details about the Bulk service including best practices, see Bulk Download and Upload.

For an Ad Group Customer List Association record, the following attribute fields are available in the Bulk File Schema.

Update: Read-only and Required
Delete: Read-only and Required

Note

For add, update, and delete, you must specify either the Parent Id or Ad Group field.

Audience

The name of the customer list.

This bulk field maps to the Audience field of the Customer List record.

Add: Read-only and Required for some use cases. You must either specify the Audience or Audience Id field. If you are adding new ad group customer list associations with new customer lists in the same Bulk file, and if you do not set the Audience Id field, then this Audience field must be set as a logical key to the same value as the Audience field of the Customer List record. For more information, see Bulk File Schema Reference Keys.
Update: Read-only
Delete: Read-only

Audience Id

The Microsoft Advertising identifier of the customer list associated with the ad group.

This bulk field maps to the Id field of the Customer List record.

Add: Read-only and Required for some use cases. You must either specify the Audience or Audience Id field. If you set the Audience Id field, you must either specify an existing customer list identifier or specify a negative identifier that is equal to the Id field of the parent Customer List record. If the Audience Id field is not set, then you must set the Audience field as a logical key to the same value as the Audience field of the Customer List record. Any of these options are recommended if you are adding new ad group customer list associations with new customer lists in the same Bulk file. For more information, see Bulk File Schema Reference Keys.

Bid Adjustment

The percentage you want to increase/decrease the bid amount for the customer list.

Important

If not specified, the default bid adjustment value is 0. The default value is subject to change.

Important

Microsoft Advertising won't apply any bid boosts until the associated customer list has at least 1,000 users. If someone qualifies to be part of multiple customer lists AND the customer lists are associated with the same ad group with different bid adjustments, the highest bid adjustment will be applied.
