Overview

The Google Ad Manager connector provides a convenient way of exporting data directly from the Decentriq platform to Google Ad Manager as an audience segment. Data is uploaded to a GCS bucket which can then be accessed by Google Ad Manager.

The dataset should have only one column with the list of identifiers. The type of identifier (e.g. PPID, Cookie Encrypted, etc), segment and network code must be specified.

Prerequisites

  • Have a Google Cloud account.
  • Have an existing Cloud Storage bucket where data can be uploaded.
  • Have existing service account credentials.

Step-By-Step Guide

  1. Follow the steps to select a dataset for export and choose Google Ad Manager from the list of connectors.

  2. Input the requisite information:

    • Audience segment ID: ID of the segment that the user list should be associated with.
    • Ad Manager storage bucket: Name of the bucket where the data should be exported.
    • Object name: Dataset name when uploaded to the bucket.

      • project_id: The ID of your Google Cloud project.

      • client_id: A unique identifier for the service account.
      • auth_uri: The URL to initiate OAuth2 authentication requests.
      • token_uri: The URL to retrieve OAuth2 tokens.
      • auth_provider_x509_cert_url: The URL to get Google's public certificates for verifying signatures.
      • client_x509_cert_url: The URL to the public certificate for the service account.
      • universe_domain: The domain of the API endpoint.
