is there a function to create new remarketing audience in R

[msheranga]

What goes wrong

ga_remarketing_get() and ga_remarketing_list are exist but there is no function to create a new remarketing audience using R

[MarkEdmondson1234]

Not at the moment, but there is a general quest to add some more management API features https://github.com/MarkEdmondson1234/googleAnalyticsR/issues/135 - it would involve implementing this guide https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/remarketing#insert

[msheranga]

If you don’t mind doing some coding then the template function is here

which uses this object (and children):

}

It should work under your authentication, but the returned call may need some parsing.

How this could look:

adword_list <- ga_adwords_list(123456, "UA-123456-1")

adword_link <- ga_adword(adword_list$id[[1]])

segment_list <- ga_segment_list()$items$definition

my_remarketing1 <- ga_remarketing_build(segment_list[[1]], 
                      state_duration = "TEMPORARY",
                      membershipDurationDays = 90, 
                      daysToLookBack = 14)
my_remarketing2 <- ga_remarketing_build(segment_list[[2]], 
                      state_duration = "PERMANENT",
                      membershipDurationDays = 7, 
                      daysToLookBack = 31)

# state based only can include exclusions
ga_remarketing_create(adwords_link = adword_link,
                     include = my_remarketing1, exclude = my_remarketing2,
                     audienceType = "STATE_BASED", name = "my_remarketing_seg1")
