Assign a budget to a campaign
After you have
created a CampaignBudget
with
CampaignBudgetService
or
identified an existing one,
you need to use its
resource_name
field value in a subsequent call to
CampaignService
. Note that you can end up with an
orphaned budget (a budget associated with no campaign) when the campaign
assignment operation fails but the budget creation operation succeeds. We
recommend you either reuse or remove
such budgets.
New campaign
For a new campaign, in the
CampaignOperation.create
,
set the
campaign_budget
field of the
Campaign
object to a budget resource name, as demonstrated in the code example below.
Java
// Creates the campaign. Campaign campaign = Campaign.newBuilder() .setName("Interplanetary Cruise #" + getPrintableDateTime()) .setAdvertisingChannelType(AdvertisingChannelType.SEARCH) // Recommendation: Set the campaign to PAUSED when creating it to prevent // the ads from immediately serving. Set to ENABLED once you've added // targeting and the ads are ready to serve .setStatus(CampaignStatus.PAUSED) // Sets the bidding strategy and budget. .setManualCpc(ManualCpc.newBuilder().build()) .setCampaignBudget(budgetResourceName) // Adds the networkSettings configured above. .setNetworkSettings(networkSettings) // Optional: Sets the start & end dates. .setStartDate(new DateTime().plusDays(1).toString("yyyyMMdd")) .setEndDate(new DateTime().plusDays(30).toString("yyyyMMdd")) .build();
C#
// Create the campaign. Campaign campaign = new Campaign() { Name = "Interplanetary Cruise #" + ExampleUtilities.GetRandomString(), AdvertisingChannelType = AdvertisingChannelType.Search, // Recommendation: Set the campaign to PAUSED when creating it to prevent // the ads from immediately serving. Set to ENABLED once you've added // targeting and the ads are ready to serve Status = CampaignStatus.Paused, // Set the bidding strategy and budget. ManualCpc = new ManualCpc(), CampaignBudget = budget, // Set the campaign network options. NetworkSettings = new NetworkSettings { TargetGoogleSearch = true, TargetSearchNetwork = true, // Enable Display Expansion on Search campaigns. See // https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/7193800 to learn more. TargetContentNetwork = true, TargetPartnerSearchNetwork = false }, // Optional: Set the start date. StartDate = DateTime.Now.AddDays(1).ToString("yyyyMMdd"), // Optional: Set the end date. EndDate = DateTime.Now.AddYears(1).ToString("yyyyMMdd"), };
PHP
$campaign = new Campaign([ 'name' => 'Interplanetary Cruise #' . Helper::getPrintableDatetime(), 'advertising_channel_type' => AdvertisingChannelType::SEARCH, // Recommendation: Set the campaign to PAUSED when creating it to prevent // the ads from immediately serving. Set to ENABLED once you've added // targeting and the ads are ready to serve. 'status' => CampaignStatus::PAUSED, // Sets the bidding strategy and budget. 'manual_cpc' => new ManualCpc(), 'campaign_budget' => $budgetResourceName, // Adds the network settings configured above. 'network_settings' => $networkSettings, // Optional: Sets the start and end dates. 'start_date' => date('Ymd', strtotime('+1 day')), 'end_date' => date('Ymd', strtotime('+1 month')) ]);

Existing campaign
To replace the budget of an existing campaign, in a
CampaignOperation.update
,
set the campaign_budget
field
of the Campaign
object to
the resource name of an existing budget (along with any other campaign
fields that you might want to set). Note that this will replace the existing
budget assigned to the campaign with the one specified by the campaign_budget
field, since a campaign can be associated with only one budget at a time.
Dissociate a budget from a campaign
A campaign must always be associated with a budget. You can remove a budget from a campaign by changing the budget associated with the campaign, thereby replacing it with another budget. To identify campaigns using a particular budget, continue to the next section.
Retrieve campaigns assigned to a budget
Obtaining the list of campaigns that use the same budget can be helpful in balancing budget utilization. The following GAQL query will return all campaigns for the specified budget ID:
SELECT campaign.id FROM campaign WHERE campaign_budget.id = campaign_budget_id
