The Google Ads Source Connector ingests advertising data from the Google Ads API into Popsink pipelines. It retrieves campaign and performance data on a configurable schedule, enabling marketing analytics, spend monitoring, and cross-channel attribution with fresh advertising data.

Key Features

  • Campaign data by default: retrieves campaign attributes out of the box; queries can be customized using GAQL (Google Ads Query Language).
  • OAuth2 authentication: secure access through your own Google Cloud OAuth application.
  • Scheduled ingestion: flexible scheduling by minutes, hours, or days, with an immediate first run on creation.

Prerequisites

  • A Google Ads account and its customer ID.
  • A Google Ads API developer token (requested from a Google Ads manager account under Tools & settings → API Center).
  • A Google Cloud project with the Google Ads API enabled and an OAuth2 client (client ID and client secret).
  • An OAuth2 refresh token authorized for the Google Ads account (obtained through the OAuth consent flow with the https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords scope).
