Google just restructured its 2025 Ads API roadmap — and if you use custom workflows, scripts, or automations, this matters.
🧩 What changed:
v20_1→ now a major release calledv21Original
v21→ becomesv22Two new minor updates incoming:
v19_2andv20_1
📅 Release window stays the same: June to November 2025.
Why this matters
If your campaigns depend on automated reporting, bidding scripts, or platform integrations, version-specific logic might break. Tools built on the previous naming structure need a quick review — especially if you’re running custom workflows across YouTube, Demand Gen, or PMax.
What to do now:
✅ Flag any dev-side dependencies tied to v20/v21
✅ Communicate with your tech team before rollout begins
✅ Future-proof: update scripts to handle version bumps smoothly
This shift signals Google wants to ship features faster without waiting for full version releases — and advertisers should be ready to adapt quicker, too.
