Starting June 23, 2022, attempting to create a CampaignSharedSet with a shared_set that has a status of REMOVED will cause a MutateError.RESOURCE_NOT_FOUND error in the Google Ads API.

There will also be a one-time change to automatically update CampaignSharedSet entities to a status of REMOVED if they contain a shared_set with a status of REMOVED. Because the shared_set already has a REMOVED status, this won’t impact any active campaigns since we’re only changing CampaignSharedSet entities that don’t currently serve.

Where can I get support?

If you have questions, please reach out to us on the forum or at googleadsapi-support@google.com.

AdWords Scripts now support negative keyword and excluded ad placement lists, and the ability to share them across campaigns. Follow these links for implementation details and code examples:

• Shared negative keywords: docs, code snippets
• Excluded placement lists: docs, code snippets

We have also released a new solution named Master Negative List that uses this feature to maintain a master list of negative keywords and placements for AdWords accounts. The list of negative criteria can be managed from a spreadsheet. Separate versions are available for AdWords accounts and manager accounts.

Special thanks goes to Terence Nip, who implemented this feature during his summer internship at Google.

Give this feature a try and let us know what you think! You can post your questions and feedback on our developer forum.
