Along with the
AdWords UI and
API, AdWords scripts will be rolling out support for desktop and tablet bid modifiers (in addition to mobile) to accounts over the coming weeks. This functionality will be available for ad groups in the new
AdGroupDevices class. For campaigns, you will be able to use the new
tablet() and
desktop() methods in the
PlatformSelector class. See our code examples for
ad groups and
campaigns to learn more about using these methods.
Note: During the rollout, if the feature is not yet enabled in your account, attempts to set tablet and desktop bid modifiers will fail.
With this launch, the
getMobileBidModifier() and
setMobileBidModifier() methods of the
AdGroup and
ShoppingAdGroup classes will be deprecated. Updating existing scripts to use the new ad group interface is straightforward. For example,
adGroup.getMobileBidModifier() becomes
adGroup.devices().getMobileBidModifier().
If you have any questions about these changes or AdWords scripts in general, you can post them on our
developer forum.
