Google Ads

Connect to Google Ads to manage advertising campaigns, analyze performance metrics, and optimize ad spending across Google’s advertising platform

Supports authentication: OAuth 2.0

Set up the agent connector

Register your Scalekit environment with the Google Ads connector so Scalekit handles the authentication flow and token lifecycle for you. The connection name you create will be used to identify and invoke the connection programmatically. Then complete the configuration in your application as follows:

Caution

Google applications using scopes that permit access to certain user data must complete a verification process.

1. Set up auth redirects

   • In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Create Connection.

   • Find Google Ads from the list of providers and click Create.

     Note

     By default, a connection using Scalekit’s credentials will be created. If you are testing, go directly to the section. Before going to production, update your connection by following the steps below.

   • Click Use your own credentials and copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.

     

   • Navigate to Google Cloud Console’s APIs & Services > Credentials

   • Select + Create Credentials, then OAuth client ID

   • Choose Web application from the Application type menu

     

   • Under Authorized redirect URIs, click + Add URI, paste the redirect URI, and select Create.

     

2. Enable the Google Ads API

   • In Google Cloud Console, go to APIs & Services > Library

   • Search for “Google Ads” in the API Library

   • Select Google Ads API

   • Press the blue Enable button

3. Get the client credentials

   Google provides your Client ID and Client Secret credentials after you create the OAuth client ID in step 1.

4. Add credentials in Scalekit

   • In Scalekit dashboard, go to Agent Auth → Connections and open the connection you created.

   • Enter your credentials:

     • Client ID (from above)
     • Client Secret (from above)
     • Permissions (scopes — see Google API Scopes reference)

   • Click Save.
