Airbridge supports cost integration with Google Ads to import Google Ads campaign cost data to Airbridge. Only the Owner and In-house Marketer can configure the cost integration.

​
Cost Integration Setup

  1. Navigate to [Integration]>[Ad Channel Integration]>[Google Ads], select the [Cost Integration] tab, and switch on the [Google Ads cost Integration] toggle.
  2. Click Add an account and log in to your Google Ads account. The account must have a recent history of campaign operation. In the login process, allow Airbridge to access your account.
  3. Select the ad accounts you want to connect with Airbridge from the ad account list. The ad accounts must have a recent history of campaign operation.
  4. When you complete the steps above, you will see the ad accounts in the list.
  5. To connect more ad accounts, click Add an account.

​
Managing Cost Integration

Turn off the toggle to pause the integration. Airbridge stops collecting cost data once the integration is paused.Any data collected before the pause remains available in Airbridge reports.Airbridge retains the credentials of the integrated account, so you can resume the integration at any time by turning the toggle on. However, deleting the integrated account removes these credentials.
Select the account from the integrated account list and click Delete to remove the account. To re-integrate the account after deletion, set up the integration from the beginning.

​
Integration status

You can view the current status of your connections in the status column. Even if you have completed the cost integration, the status will show “Waiting” until the cost data is actually imported to Airbridge.

NoteThe cost data for Google Performance Max campaigns are only available on campaign-level.

Attention

Airbridge pulls the cost data from the past 7 days, every 4 hours, 6 times a day starting at 3:00 PM (UTC). As the updates are not real-time, there may be data discrepancies between Airbridge and the ad channel, depending on the time of reporting.
The data pulled via cost integration is provided by the app time zone and app standard currency set within Airbridge.To minimize data discrepancy, align your app’s currency and time zone settings in your Airbridge dashboard and your ad channel’s dashboard.
The Cost (Channel) metric, which shows your ad spend reported by the ad channel, displays value only when used with specific GroupBys.Below are the GroupBys that can be used in the Actuals Report to view data with the metric:
  • Channel
  • Campaign
  • Ad Group
  • Ad Creative
Depending on the data reported, the metric may not display any value even if you use the GroupBys above.
Once the cost integration is enabled, the following campaign details are advised not to be edited to avoid any error in pulling data into Airbridge.
  • Campaign name
  • Ad group
  • Ad creative name
