Overview

The Google DV360 connector provides a convenient way of exporting data directly from the Decentriq platform as a first/third-party audience to Google DV360. The dataset should have only one column with plain email addresses that will be automatically hashed with SHA256. The connector uses the Display & Video 360 API v3, specifically the firstAndThirdPartyAudiences.create endpoint to create audiences.

Prerequisites

  • Have a valid Google DV360 advertiser ID.
  • Have existing Google DV360 credentials.
