Google Ads, previously My Client Centre (MCC), is an online advertising platform that enables businesses to create and display ads on Google's search engine and advertising network. It offers a range of ad formats, targeting options, and bidding strategies, allowing businesses to reach their desired audience and drive traffic, leads, and conversions through paid search and display advertising.
Authorize Connection to Google Ads
Authorize the connection so Dataddo can write to Google Ads:
To authorize this service, use OAuth 2.0 to share specific data with Dataddo while keeping usernames, passwords, and other information private.
- On the Authorizers page, click on Authorize New Service and select your service.
- Follow the on-screen prompts to grant Dataddo the necessary permissions to access and retrieve your data.
- [Optional] Once your authorizer is created, click on it to change the label for easier identification.
Ensure that the account you're granting access to holds at least admin-level permissions. If necessary, assign a team member with the required permissions with the authorizer role to authenticate the service for you.
Dataddo validates the connection when you save it.
Create a Google Ads Destination
Go to Destinations, click Create Destination, and select Google Ads. Give the destination a name, choose the authorizer, then set:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Choose an object type | Object to load the data to. Shown when oAuthId is ``. |
| Choose a customer | Object to load the data to. Shown when oAuthId is ``. |
| Manager account | Object to load the data to. Shown when googleCustomer is ``. |
| Choose a conversion type | Object to load the data to. Shown when googleCustomer is ``. |
Click Save.
Fields that load from your account (such as the target object or module) appear after you choose the authorizer.
Write Modes
The write mode decides how each flow run changes your Google Ads records. Google Ads supports the modes below.
| Mode | Meaning |
|---|---|
insert_ignore |
Creates records, skipping rows that already exist. |
Flow columns are matched to Google Ads fields by name. If a column has no matching field, it is ignored.
How to Create a Flow to Google Ads
- Go to Flows and click Create Flow.
- Add one or more sources.
- Add Google Ads as the destination and pick the authorizer.
- Select the target object and the write mode.
- Set the schedule and click Save.
Troubleshooting
Cannot connect to Google Ads
Reauthorize the Google Ads connection and make sure the account has permission to write the target object.
Rows are rejected
Google Ads rejected rows that break its field rules (required fields, value formats, or duplicate keys). Fix the source data or the field mapping and restart the flow.
