Finish Fivetran Configurationlink

1. Enter your chosen destination schema name in the connector setup form.

2. Enter the Google Ads customer ID you found in Step 1.

3. Click Authorize to allow Fivetran to access your Google Ads account via OAuth.

4. Select your sync mode. You can choose Sync All Accounts, Sync Specific Accounts, or Sync Specific Manager Accounts.

5. If you chose Sync Specific Accounts or Sync Specific Manager Accounts, a new Accounts field will appear that lists every account that Fivetran can access. Select which accounts you'd like to sync.

   Note: In the Sync Specific Manager Accounts mode, Fivetran will find and sync the client accounts that are direct children of the selected manager accounts. If a manager account has sub-manager accounts, their clients won't be synced.

6. Click Add report.

7. Enter your chosen destination table name. It must be unique within the connector.

   Note: Give the table a name you will find easy to identify with the report in the future. When you want to enable or disable the sync for a particular report once it is set up, you will do so by selecting its table in the connector's schema tab.

8. Select the Configuration Type: Pre-built Report or Custom Report.

   IMPORTANT: In this step, you can select and configure the Prebuilt report type only for existing connectors created before January 18, 2021. When creating new connectors, you can only configure Custom reports in this step. For the Prebuilt reports for new connectors, you can select the tables you'd like to sync on the Schema tab of the connector's Dashboard.

9. If you choose Use Pre-built Report, select one of the available Prebuilt Reports you'd like to sync.

10. If you choose Use Custom Report, select the reports and fields you'd like to sync. Use the following Google resources to choose your reports and fields. Note that the Date field is required because the reports are synced by day.
