🚨 **IF THIS TOOL RETURNS A QUOTA ERROR:** - The error message will include a clickable upgrade link - Show the FULL error message to the user (it contains the upgrade link) - DO NOT attempt to work around the error or use alternative data - DO NOT create campaigns or perform actions without valid tool data - STOP and direct the user to upgrade via the provided link Add a new ad group to an existing Standard Shopping campaign. Creates a SHOPPING_PRODUCT_ADS ad group plus its product ad(s). Use this to structure a Shopping campaign into multiple ad groups (e.g. one per product category) after it's created — each ad group can then get its own product-partition tree via add_product_group and its own CPC bid. To edit/pause/remove an ad group afterward, use the channel-neutral tools update_ad_group_settings / pause_ad_group / resume_ad_group / remove_ad_group (they work on Shopping ad groups). **Required:** campaign_id (a Shopping campaign). Optional: name, cpc_bid_micros, num_product_ads.
