Google Ads connector for Amazon AppFlow

Google Ads is a platform that advertisers use to display ads on the web, such as in Google search results, YouTube videos, mobile apps, and on websites. If you are a Google Ads user, you can use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data about your account, ad campaigns, and ad groups to certain AWS services or other supported applications.

Amazon AppFlow supports Google Ads as follows.

Supported as a data source?

Yes. You can use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from your Google Ads account.

Supported as a data destination?

No. You can't use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data to your Google Ads account.

To use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from Google Ads to AWS services, you'll need to meet these requirements:

  • You have a Google Cloud Platform account and a Google Cloud project.

  • In your Google Cloud project, you've enabled the Google Ads API. For information on how to enable APIs, see Enable and disable APIs in the API Console Help for Google Cloud Platform.

  • You have a Google Ads developer token. For information on how to retrieve or create a developer token, see Obtain Your Developer Token in the Google Ads API documentation.

  • In your Google Cloud project, you've configured an OAuth consent screen for external users that meets the following requirements:

    • You've set amazon.com as an authorized domain.

    • You've set Google Ads API as an authorized scope.

    For information about the OAuth consent screen, see Setting up your OAuth consent screen in the Google Cloud Platform Console Help.

  • In your Google Cloud project, you've configured an OAuth 2.0 client ID. For information on how to create one, see Setting up OAuth 2.0 in the Google Cloud Platform Console Help.

    The OAuth 2.0 client ID must have one or more authorized redirect URLs for Amazon AppFlow.

    Redirect URLs have the following format:

    https://region.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth

    In this URL, region is the code for the AWS Region where you use Amazon AppFlow to transfer data from Google Ads. For example, the code for the US East (N. Virginia) Region is us-east-1. For that Region, the URL is the following:

    https://us-east-1.console.aws.amazon.com/appflow/oauth

    For the AWS Regions that Amazon AppFlow supports, and their codes, see Amazon AppFlow endpoints and quotas in the AWS General Reference.

From your Google Ads settings, note your developer token. From the settings for your OAuth 2.0 client ID in your Google Cloud project, note your client ID and client secret. You will provide these values to Amazon AppFlow when you connect to your Google Cloud project.

To connect Amazon AppFlow to your Google Ads account, provide details from the Google Cloud project so that Amazon AppFlow can access your Google Ads data. If you haven't yet configured your Google Cloud project for Amazon AppFlow integration, see Before you begin.
