- Next, configure your sync by filling out the following fields:
- Route Name
- Name:Β A friendly name for the sync.
- Sync Frequency: The default frequency for syncing data to a destination, such as "Daily" or "Hourly".
- Update Rule:Β The default operation for syncing conversion signals to a destination. Only the "Insert only" option is supported.
- Source
- Dataset/Table: The table that holds your conversion data for each event. Usually, it's organized within an events table.
- Dataset Unique Field(s): The column that contains values that are distinct for each event in the table.
- Match Field: The column used to match and identify users from your source table in the destination system.
GCLID
is recommended.
- Destination
- Connection:Β The destination you will sync conversion data to. Please select
Google Adwords
. - Object Type:Β The event that you want to track and send to Google Ads for conversion tracking and analytics. Please select
Conversions
. - Match Field:Β The field based on which to match source records with destination records.
GCLID
is recommended.
- Connection:Β The destination you will sync conversion data to. Please select
- Route Name
- Once you finish selecting/inserting the required fields, clickΒ Save Route.
- Now itβs time to add the field mappings to enable your signal route. Google Ads Conversion require the following information about each conversion signal be mapped:
- Conversion Action:Β The action that quantifies this conversion event.
- βConversion DateTime:Β The timestamp when this conversion was registered.
- To map the fields, select the column that represents theΒ Conversion ActionΒ from the drop-down underΒ Source.
- Under theΒ DestinationΒ section, selectΒ Conversion ActionΒ from the drop-down.
- Repeat steps 5 & 6 to map theΒ Conversion DateTimeΒ so you have the minimum required mappings (you can always do more than the minimum required of course), until theΒ Update RouteΒ button is activated.
- When you are ready toΒ update your signal routeΒ with the newly mapped fields, youβll be prompted with the following 2 options:
Updates only
orBack-fill
. We recommend you go with theΒ Updates OnlyΒ option, especially if youβre setting up the signal for the first time.
NoteTheΒ Back-fillΒ option is when you are updating an existing Signal Route with newly mapped fields and youβd like all yourΒ already synced eventsΒ to have those fields backfilled for them. This operation can be very expensive and time consuming on your underlying Data Warehouse, so please choose that option if youβre absolutely sure.
