Intro

Google Ad Manager helps you manage ad revenue by streamlining operations and maximizing the value of each impression. Use the Domo Google Ad Manager connector to access data about ad units, companies, and orders as you manage digital ad revenue across screens, formats, and sales channels. When you bring your Google Ad Manager data into Domo, you can view real-time, interactive dashboards. You can access these dashboards from your phone, tablet, or computer, and receive alerts when key metrics change. You can also combine your Ad Manager data with data from other sources to get a comprehensive view of your business. You can connect to your Google Ad Manager REST account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the Google Ad Manager REST connector user interface. To add DataSets, set update schedules, and edit DataSet information, see Adding a DataSet Using a Connector.

Prerequisites

To connect to your Google Ad Manager REST account and create a DataSet, choose one of the following authentication methods:
  • Google Ad Manager OAuth - If you select Google Ad Manager OAuth, sign in with your Google account credentials and complete the authentication flow.
  • Google Ad Manager Service - If you select Google Ad Manager Service, you need the Service Account Key JSON.

Create a Service Account Key JSON

  1. In the Google Cloud Console, open IAM & Admin.
  2. In the navigation pane, select Service Accounts.
  3. Select your project, then select Open.
  4. Select Create Service Account.
  5. Enter a service account name and service account description, then select Create.
  6. Assign the appropriate role (for example, Project Owner), then select Continue.
  7. Select Create Key.
  8. Choose JSON as the key type, then select Create.
  9. Save the downloaded private key file to a secure location.
  10. Close the dialog box.
  11. Select Done to finish creating the service account.

Connecting to Your Google Ad Manager REST Account

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes on the Google Ad Manager REST Connector page. The components of the other panes on this page, Scheduling, and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in great detail in Adding a DataSet Using a Connector.

Credentials Pane

The Google Ad Manager REST connector supports the following authentication methods:
  • Google Ad Manager OAuth
  • Google Ad Manager Service
If you select Google Ad Manager OAuth, select Connect (or Add Account if you already have Google Ad Manager REST accounts in Domo) to open the Google OAuth sign-in page. Sign in with your Google account credentials and complete the authorization process. If you select Google Ad Manager Service, enter the Service Account Key JSON. After entering the key, Domo uses the service account to authenticate and access Google Ad Manager data without requiring user credentials. Once you have entered valid Google Ad Manager REST credentials, you can use the same account any time to create a new Google Ad Manager REST DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Manage Connector Accounts.
