ProductChannel
Contains the methods for managing a channel product group. This object derives from ProductGroup.
Used by the delivery engine to determine whether a product from the advertiser's catalog is served. The engine may serve the product if the product's channel matches exactly the channel name that getChannel returns.
Example usage:
var shoppingCampaign = AdsApp.shoppingCampaigns().withIds(["123456789"]).get().next();
var productGroups = shoppingCampaign.productGroups().get();
while (productGroups.hasNext()) {
var group = productGroups.next();
switch (group.getDimension()) {
case "CHANNEL": {
// It's not necessary to cast the product group to a channel product
// group since the getValue() method returns the same value as getChannel().
// var channel = group.asChannel().getChannel();
var channel = group.getValue();
break;
}
// Other cases
}
}
