Creates dynamic text ad targets and sets bids or priorities for the created targets.

  4. Example

The bid or priority is used depending on which display strategy is selected in the campaign:

  • If the campaign has an automatic strategy set up, the StrategyPriority parameter is used: ads for dynamic text ad targets with higher priority are allocated more traffic when possible, and they are the last ones to be stopped when budget funds are low.

  • If a manual strategy is set up in the campaign, the Bid parameter is used.

The ContextBid parameter is not used at this time.

If an item in the input array contains parameters that are not appropriate for the strategy, the values of these parameters are saved and a warning is issued.

  • If an automatic strategy is set up in the campaign, but the Bid parameter is set for a dynamic text ad target, this bid value won't be applied. When the strategy switches from automatic to manual, the bid will be selected by an automatic algorithm.

  • If a manual strategy is set up in the campaign, but the StrategyPriority parameter is set for a dynamic text ad target, the set priority value will be applied later when the strategy is switched to an automatic one.

If the strategy allows for setting bids but the bid is not specified, the minimum bid is set by default (the minimum bid depends on the advertiser's currency). If the strategy allows for setting priority but the priority is not specified, the average priority is set by default.

Attention.
  • Bids and prices are passed via the Yandex Direct API as integers. The value passed is a bid or price multiplied by 1,000,000.

  • All bids and prices are shown in the advertiser's currency.

Restrictions

Dynamic text ad targets can only be added to a DYNAMIC_TEXT_AD_GROUP type of ad group.
