Flyer Ad Extension Record - Bulk
Defines a flyer ad extension that can be downloaded and uploaded in a bulk file.
Flyer Extensions enable advertisers to distribute product or store catalogues (flyers) to potential customers.
They can display prominently on broad queries like "weekly deals" or "weekly sales" and thus encourage shoppers to click on your ad instead of the competition's. By their nature they help to better inform searchers, and as a result, increase user engagement e.g., click through rate.
Note
Flyer Extensions are available for customers in the feature pilot (GetCustomerPilotFeatures returns 802).
You can associate a flyer 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 3 flyer ad extensions. Use the Account Flyer Ad Extension, Ad Group Flyer Ad Extension, and Campaign Flyer Ad Extension records to manage flyer ad extension associations.
You can download all Flyer Ad Extension records in the account by including the DownloadEntity value of FlyerAdExtensions 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.
The following Bulk CSV example would add a new Flyer Ad Extension to the account's shared library.

If you are using the Bing Ads SDKs for .NET, Java, or Python, you can save time using the BulkServiceManager to upload and download the BulkFlyerAdExtension object, instead of calling the service operations directly and writing custom code to parse each field in the bulk file.

Ad Schedule
The list of day and time ranges that you want the ad extension to be displayed with your ads. Each day and time range includes the scheduled day of week, start/end hour, and start/end minute. Each day and time range is enclosed by left and right parentheses, and separated from other day and time ranges with a semicolon (;) delimiter. Within each day and time range the format is Day[StartHour:StartMinue-EndHour:EndMinute].
The possible values of StartHour range from 00 to 23, where 00 is equivalent to 12:00AM and 12 is 12:00PM.
The possible values of EndHour range from 00 to 24, where 00 is equivalent to 12:00AM and 12 is 12:00PM.
The possible values of StartMinute and EndMinute range from 00 to 60.
The following example demonstrates day and time ranges during weekdays from 9:00AM through 9:00PM: (Monday[09:00-21:00]);(Tuesday[09:00-21:00]);(Wednesday[09:00-21:00]);(Thursday[09:00-21:00]);(Friday[09:00-21:00])
Add: Optional. If you do not set this field, the ad extension will be eligible for scheduling anytime during the calendar start and end dates.
Update: Optional. The individual day and time ranges cannot be updated. You can effectively update the day and time ranges by sending a new set that should replace the prior set. The Ad Schedule and Use Searcher Time Zone fields depend on each other and are updated together. If you leave both of these fields empty during update, then neither of them are updated. If you include values for any of these fields, then the prior values for each of these fields are removed or replaced.
