Google AdWords

Step-by-step guide to ingest your Google AdWords data into RudderStack

​Google AdWords is Google's premier online advertising platform. It allows advertisers to display their advertisements, as well as service offerings and product listings to prospective customers. With AdWords, you can place your ads within Google's search results, and also on your websites, mobile apps and videos. Google Adwords offers these advertisement services under a PPC (pay per click) model.
This document guides you in setting up Google AdWords as a source in RudderStack. Once configured, RudderStack automatically ingests your specified Google AdWords data, which can then be routed to your data warehouse or any other third-party destination supported by RudderStack.

Log into your RudderStack dashboard.

Next, select Google Analytics from the list of Cloud Sources, and click on Next.

Setting Up the Connection
Click on Connect with Google AdWords and give RudderStack the required access permissions. Then, click on Next.
If you have already connected RudderStack to your Google AdWords account, your credentials should appear automatically under Use existing credentials.
Configuring the Source Settings
After successfully connecting RudderStack to your Google AdWords account, the customer IDs associated with this account will automatically appear in the dropdown menu of the Customer ID, where you can select one. You also need to select a Start Date for your pipeline, which specifies the earliest date that RudderStack will start importing your AdWords data from. 
Please note that this Start date is valid only for the first (historical) sync.
Setting the Data Update Schedule
Next, you will be required to set the Run Frequency to schedule the data import from your Google AdWords account to RudderStack. You can also specify the time when you want this synchronization to start, by choosing the time under the Sync Starting At option.
Specifying the Data to Sync
Next, you need to specify the data you want RudderStack to import. By default, all the data resources are selected.
That's it! Google AdWords is now successfully configured as a source on your RudderStack dashboard. 
RudderStack will start importing data from Google AdWords as per the specified frequency. You can further connect this source to your data warehouse or other third-party destinations by clicking on Connect Destinations or Add Destinations, as shown:
