Starting with Google Ads API v17, the BatchJobService now supports AssetGroupOperation, enabling batch processing to create and manage entire Performance Max campaigns. Batch processing allows dispatching a set of interdependent operations to multiple services without waiting for each to complete, providing automatic retries for transient errors and automatic grouping of operations. This feature was added in response to user feedback for asynchronous asset group management.

Implementation Details

Using AssetGroupOperation with batch processing for Performance Max campaigns involves:

• Sequential Operations: AssetGroupOperation and AssetGroupAssetOperation must be sequential without other operations in between.
• Creating Asset Groups:
  • Create a MutateOperation containing an AssetGroupOperation.
  • Associate assets with the asset group by creating MutateOperation containing AssetGroupAssetOperation for each required asset.
  • Combine these operations to meet minimum asset requirements.
  • Add MutateOperation types to the batch job.
  • Run the batch job by calling RunBatchJob after adding all operations.
