Fix Search Ads 360 template errors
A removed keyword or RSA ad can't be updated or changed.
Potential errors
| Template type | Error |
| Keyword | CONTEXT_ERROR_OPERATION_NOT_PERMITTED_FOR_REMOVED_ENTITY |
| RSA | AD_GROUP_AD_ERROR_AD_GROUP_AD_DELETED |
Potential causes
Once entities are removed, they can’t be recovered, reactivated, or edited. If an entity has been manually removed, the template system will be unable to modify that entity or create a duplicate.
Example scenario
Let's say you want to create an RSA template that will be placed under 3 different Ad Groups: AG1, AG2, and AG3. AG1 is manually removed sometime after the template is created.
Because AG1 was removed, the template system will be unable to apply the RSA template to AG1.
Example resolution
To resolve this error:
- Remove the reference to the removed entity from your template.
- Manually recreate the removed Ad group, and reselect it within the template.
To avoid this issue in the future, consider pausing entities instead of removing them.
Note: If AG1 was created by a template, and you want to place it back under template management, you’ll need to manually recreate it with the same name and follow the same steps listed under Place manually created entities under template management. The re-created RSA should exactly match the naming formula you’ve set in your template.
