Failing conversion rule creation
Hello.
I've been recently trying to create a conversion rule through the Taboola Backstage API, as specified in the appropriate section of the documentation (https://developers.taboola.com/backstage-api/reference#create-a-conversion-rule).
In order to create the rule, I've been issuing a POST request to the following endpoint,
https://backstage.taboola.com/backstage/api/1.0/{my_account_id}/universal_pixel/conversion_rule/
with a correctly generated Access Token (I've been using it to call several other API endpoints as well and it worked in those circumstances).
My JSON body is:
{
"event_name": "test_pixel",
"display_name": "test_pixel",
"include_in_total_conversions": false,
"category": "SEARCH",
"status": "ACTIVE",
"type": "EVENT_BASED",
"condition": [],
"exclude_from_campaigns": false,
"look_back_window": 30
}
Even though there seems to be no inconsistency with the documentation (all fields seems to be correctly configured and no required field is missing, apparently), the API responds with an error:
{
"http_status": 400,
"message": "Bad request",
"message_code": "api.action.bad_request.null"
}
No meaningful message is associated with the response and I don't know how to make this work.
Thanks in advance for your support.

Is the publisher_bid_modifier wrong?
I've been using publisher_bid_modifier for months with no problems. Today, my system is unable to change CPC (site level). Below, the message that my system is receiving due to the cpc_modification sent. I paused all my campaigns. Waiting for a return.
cpc_modification | message
0.2 | The bid amount cannot be less than the minimum 0.01 USD
0.4 | The bid amount cannot be less than the minimum 0.025 BRL
1.0 | The bid amount cannot be less than the minimum 1.0 JPY
1.2 | The bid amount cannot be less than the minimum 1.0 JPY

Campaign Created Despite 400 Error
We recently attempted to create a campaign via the API . It appears that some targeting was either deprecated or is simply no longer available. We received the error [400] Bad Request: Targeting: [1687024] is not available in the targeted countries due to limited scale.
In this instance it seems as if the invalid targeting was simply ignored and the campaign was created despite the error. Since the create task failed, we never received or stored your campaign ID which meant that we were not able to make any updates or track spend for this campaign.
This has since happened to us a few times. Is it possible to update this so that the campaign is not actually created when this error fires?
