Challenge

Your business is using Google Campaign Manager (GCM360) as an Ad Server and you want to use the ADvendio integration, to manage your inventory more seamlessly and make use of the automatic delivery import features.

How do you set up the connection to Google Campaign Manager (GCM360) in ADvendio?

To do this simply go to the Connection main menu, and create a ‘New’ record.

Select the record type ‘GCM360’, and click 'Next'.

In the next step, you will need to fill in the required information, the main fields to fill in are: ‘User Name’ and ‘Network ID’.

Use your Google Username in the ‘User name’ field and your GCM Account ID (which can be found in the GCM Setup) in ‘Network ID’ field.

Important Information on the Network ID field

To ensure proper use of this integration, it’s essential to understand how to configure the Network ID field.
