Overview
You can connect your Google Ads account directly to CreativeX using oAuth authentication. This allows CreativeX to securely access your account without requiring manual credentials.
When you connect an account through OAuth, CreativeX is granted read-only access. This means CreativeX can view the necessary data to power analytics and reporting, but cannot make changes to your Google Ads account.
Requirements
Before connecting your account, ensure that:
You have at least read-only access to the Google Ads account you want to connect.
You are able to log in to the Google account associated with the Google Ads account.
Step 1: Start the Connection
Log in to CreativeX.
In the left-hand navigation menu, click Connections.
Expand the menu and select Link New Account.
Choose Google Ads OAuth.
You will be redirected to Google to authorize CreativeX.
Step 2: Authorize CreativeX with Google
Review the permissions requested by CreativeX.
Complete the Google OAuth authorization flow.
Once authorization is complete, you will be redirected back to CreativeX.
Step 3: Select Account Details
After authorizing CreativeX, you will need to configure the account connection.
Select the Google Ads account you want to connect.
Choose the relevant:
Brand (or multi-brand)
Market (or multi-market)
Partner (your organisation)
Click Continue.
Step 4: Review and Confirm
Review the account and configuration details you selected.
Click Confirm to complete the connection.
Step 5: Confirm Your Connection
To verify that the connection was successful:
Return to the Linking page.
Refresh the page if necessary.
Your newly connected Google Ads account will appear in the list of linked accounts.
If the account appears in the list, the OAuth connection has been successfully completed.
