Add audience targeting to a Display ad group

Headers

Description

Add audience targeting to a Display ad group. **audience_segments** keys: - `user_interests` — list of affinity/in-market category IDs (from `search_audiences`) - `custom_audiences` — list of resource names like `"customers/123/customAudiences/456"` - `user_lists` — list of remarketing list resource names like `"customers/123/userLists/789"` - `combined_audiences` — list of combined audience resource names **CRITICAL:** Only use IDs returned by `search_audiences`. NEVER fabricate — wrong IDs waste budget on unrelated audiences. **Example:** ``` audience_segments: { "user_interests": ["80517", "80520"], "user_lists": ["customers/123/userLists/111"] } ``` **Execution time:** 2-5 seconds.

Request body

All tool arguments are wrapped in an arguments object.

FieldTypeDescription
ad_group_idstring requiredTarget Display ad group ID.
customer_idstring optionalRequired for multi-account users.
audience_segmentsobject requiredObject of audience lists to ADD to the ad group. Include keys: user_interests (affinity/in-market IDs), custom_audiences (resource names), user_lists (resource names), combined_audiences (resource names). Exclude keys (#559 — build NEGATIVE criteria): user_list_exclusions, user_interest_exclusions, custom_audience_exclusions, combined_audience_exclusions. Shape-tolerant: a flat top-level list, a list of {user_list: rn} objects, and synonym keys are all accepted and normalized. Use search_audiences to get valid IDs — NEVER fabricate. Example: {'user_lists': ['customers/123/userLists/456'], 'user_list_exclusions': ['customers/123/userLists/789']}
