    To create a Service Account, follow these steps:

    6. You should be able to see your newly created service account at the bottom on the site. Click on Edit service account and navigate to the Keys tab at the top.
    7. Click Add key and select Create new key.
    8. Choose JSON as key type. This will download the JSON file to your computer which you will later need to upload to Dataddo.

    In Dataddo

    1. On the Security page, navigate to the Certificates tab and click on Add Certificate.
    2. Name your certificate, select Google Service Account Key as certificate type, and upload the file you have obtained when creating a service account for authorization.

    Troubleshooting

    Data Preview Unavailable

    No data preview when you click on Test Data might be caused by an issue with your source configuration. The most common causes are:

    • Date range: Try a smaller date range. You can load the rest of your data afterward using manual data load.
    • Insufficient permissions: Please make sure your authorized account has at least admin-level permissions.
    • Invalid metrics, attributes, or breakdowns: You may not have any data for the selected metrics, attributes, or breakdowns.
    • Incompatible combination of metrics, attributes, or breakdowns: Your selected combination cannot be queried together. Please refer to the service's documentation to view a full list of metrics that can be included in the same data source.
