Google Ads (Data Manager API)
Send outcomes to Google Ads (Data Manager API) through the approval gate, matched by click id or hashed email and phone.
Live
Live: shipped in OrcLink's production release before this one. Built, not yet tested live: built and tested with sample data, not yet run against a live account of the vendor. Coming soon: listed, not available to connect yet.
How to connect
- Conversions > Destinations: Connect signs in with the platform (one sign-in also serves ad cost import).
- Conversions > Destinations > Google Ads (Data Manager API): Google Ads customer ID (digits, no dashes); Conversion action ID; Manager (MCC) customer ID (optional); OAuth client ID (stored encrypted); OAuth client secret (stored encrypted); OAuth refresh token (datamanager scope) (stored encrypted).
- Then send a test event and check Conversions > Audit log.
What OrcLink reads
- Ad cost: imported by API in Conversions > Ad costs (campaign, ad group and keyword, with impressions and clicks), once a day while the scheduled jobs ad-spend and jobs run (your OrcLink operator schedules them). Cost days are the ad account's calendar days (in the ad account's time zone); conversion and outcome days are UTC days. Near midnight, a cost and its conversions can be on different days.
What OrcLink writes back
- Conversions for the stages you set to relay (Outcomes > Stages), each with its click id and the hashed email and phone the platform matches on. Each batch waits for approval when approval is on (the default).
Never stored
- Raw email or phone: only hashes leave OrcLink.
- Page paths, page titles, referrers and IP addresses: never sent to an ad platform.
