Creating a Google Ads Data Source

1. In the Navigation Panel, go to Integrations > Catalog.

2. Use the Search box OR click the Business Packages filter to locate the data source.

3. Hover over the Google Ads tile, and click Start.
   *Note: If the data source has already been used, a dialog is displayed in which you can select from one of the listed sources. Alternatively, create a new source by clicking Add a new source.

4. In the displayed dialog, follow the onscreen instructions, namely requesting permission to access your Google Adwords accounts.

   

📍

The Google account you provide needs to have read access to your Google Ads accounts.

Creating a Google Ads Stream

If you have just created a Google Ads data source, skip to step 3.

1. In the Sources page (accessed by clicking Integrations > Sources in the Navigation Panel), filter the list of streams to find the Google Ads source for which you want to create a stream query.
   *Note: The streams associated with that source are displayed. If the streams panel is empty, no streams exist for that source.
2. Hover over the Google Ads data source, and click + New Stream. The Stream Query page is displayed.
3. Define the following:

   • Select the account from the list of available Google Adwords accounts.

   • Select the use case from the available use cases (Conversion Analysis, Account Performance or Campaign and AdGroup Performance).

   • Set the scheduling parameters: click the pencil icon to define the Collect Files Every, Delay (Minutes)(default is 45 minutes), and Collect Since (default is Last 7 Days) values.
     Note: Select the Daily Accumulation checkbox if you want to preserve backward compatibility. When creating a new stream we recommend keeping it unchecked.

     
4. Click NEXT to collect data and move to the Stream table.
5. In the Stream Table page:

   • Click Stream-It to stream the metrics.

   • We will create the Required Alerts and Dashboard for you; they will be available once the stream is live.
