Connect to Google Campaign Manager 360
You need to have access to at least one user profile and one advertiser in Google Marketing Platform to sync data.
Go to the Destinations overview page and click the Add destination button. Select Google Campaign Manager 360 and click Continue. You can then authenticate Hightouch to Google Campaign Manager 360 via OAuth.
For the Authentication method, select Log in to Google Campaign Manager 360 and log into your Google Campaign Manager 360 account. Once successful, you will be redirected back to Hightouch to enter a descriptive name for your destination and complete setup.
Sync configuration
Once you've set up your Google Campaign Manager 360 destination and have a model to pull data from, you can set up your sync configuration to begin syncing data. Go to the Syncs overview page and click the Add sync button to begin. Then, select the relevant model and the Google Campaign Manager 360 destination you want to sync to.
Syncing conversion events
You can choose to sync new conversion events or update existing ones via the Conversion Adjustments sync type.
Then, select the Google Campaign Manager profile to sync conversion data to.
Floodlight activities and configuration
Google Campaign Manager requires each conversion to be associated with a Floodlight activity and configuration. Hightouch provides a dropdown to select the available activities and configurations based on your Google Campaign Manager profile. You can either select a static value for all events or select to use a column from your model.
Encrypted user identifiers
You can opt to include encrypted user IDs in your conversion event payload.
Hightouch obtains encrypted user IDs from the %m match macro or Data Transfer.
If you are including, dclid, gclid, matchId, or a mobile device ID in your field mapping, you don't need to enable this.
Field mapping
Field mapping is where you select which customer information parameters or other event parameters you want to send to the Conversions API. You can map data from any of your model columns to default and custom Google fields.
The Conversions API requires you to include at least one of the user identifier parameters below in your event payload, so be sure to map one here. The identifiers options are:
- Mobile device ID
- Google Click ID
- Match ID
- Display Click ID
- Encrypted user ID
- Encrypted user ID candidates
You should provide only one of these user identifiers for matching.
For more information, please check the Google Campaign Manager 360 documentation.
