Attach an Ad or Delivery Group to a Placement (PUT)

There are two types of API calls for attachment:

  • Simple: Attaches placements to ads without using delivery groups. Use this flow when you have single ads in each placement, or when you have multiple ads that can be rotated evenly.

  • Advanced: Attaches placements to delivery groups. Use this flow when attaching multiple ads to placements and setting up rotation settings. This option is mandatory when using targeting or retargeting features.

The following table lists the possible internal server errors for the advertiser resource.

INTERNAL CODE

STRING

DESCRIPTION

41002

Ad format mismatch.

The ad that was added to the delivery group does not match the other ads. A delivery group can either include all video (In-Stream) ads, or all In-Banner ads, but not a mixture of ad types.

41004

Ad does not belong to same campaign as delivery group.

The ad that was added does not belong to the selected campaign. You should first assign the ad to the selected campaign.

41005

Placement does not belong to same campaign as delivery group.

The placement and delivery group must be in the same campaign.

41013

Duplicate delivery group placements.

The delivery group is already attached to the selected placement.

41014

Delivery group type is different than placement.

The placement type (In-Banner/In-Stream) must match the delivery group type.

41021

Could not connect the placements and ad due to sizing mismatch.

The placements' dimensions and the ads' dimensions are not the same, and therefore cannot be attached. You can either change the placements' dimensions or attach a different placement.

41024

Failed to detach placement from delivery group. All placements must belong to any untargeted delivery group.

The placement cannot be detached from the delivery group because the delivery group is the last untargeted delivery group attached to this placement.

41025

Delivery group target audience cannot be changed for published delivery group.

Delivery group target audience cannot be changed for published delivery group
