Challenge
Are you seeking a robust platform that provides opportunities for online advertising, enabling you to customize your ad campaigns, manage your budget, target potential customers, and assess your ad's performance without the constraints of a minimum spending requirement?
Please follow these step-by-step instructions to set up Google Ads in ADvendio:
Solution
To start using the Google Ads integration, you need to create a New Record Type "Google Ads". Follow the steps below:
1- Create Google Ads Connection
In the ADvendio main menu (App launcher), search for "Connections".
Click on the "Connections" tab.
Create a new connection record by selecting "New".
Choose "Google Ads" as the new record type.
It will open the "New Connection: GOOGLE ADS" window.
Enter your username in the required "User Name" field.
Use the Description, Additional Password, Network ID, and Access Token fields to add any additional information if necessary.
Click the "Save" button.
A new connection record for Google Ads will be created.
2- Generate an OAuth token to complete the connection process
To generate an OAuth token, follow these steps:
Open the Google Ads Connection record you just created
In the right upper corner Click “Generate AdServer OAuth Token”, enter your username and press Submit
Press “Link to Ad Server”, which will open the ADvendio Connector, and will generate an access token based on your user credentials:

Paste it into the ADvendio Authorisation Code field and press Submit.
