Common Errors
|
Error |
|
|---|---|
|
|
Focusing on the error (CustomerMatchUploaderServiceError.INVALID_PRODUCT @ clientCustomerId.product), I can see that the service used was the CustomerMatchUploaderService. Please note that as per this documentation, only ADWORDS (AdWords) is the supported target product of the CustomerMatchUploaderService. This is the reason why you encountered the error since you're using the DFP_BY_GOOGLE product. |
|
|
Ask the Publisher to raise ticket to the Publisher Support, whitelisting thier adwords account ID. Post that, Google initiates the whitelisting process for the network if the contractual agreements are in place. Once it's done, you will be able to push the segments without any issues. |
