## Discussion

Discussion This endpoint creates an ad group that belongs to a single campaign via campaignId, which is required at creation and immutable afterward. The ad group defines its own targeting, bid strategy, and schedule, scoped within the campaign’s supply placement and budget. The pricingModel field is also required: use CPT for tap-billed campaigns and CPM for impression-billed campaigns using the MANUAL_CPM bid strategy. Payload Examples
