How Can I Sync Performance Max Campaigns?

Question

How can I sync Performance Max campaigns?

Environment

Connector: Google Ads

Answer

To sync Performance Max campaigns, do the following:

1. Add a new custom report:

• While setting up a new connector, click + Custom report.
• For existing connectors, go to the Setup tab, click Edit connection details, then click + Custom report.

3. Enter your chosen Destination table name for the custom report being added. It must be unique within this connector and must comply with Fivetran's naming conventions.
4. Select the report name, campaign. You can find more information on the campaign resource in Google's API documentation.
5. Include the campaign.advertising_channel_type field.
6. Exclude all AdGroup fields. If you include AdGroup fields, Performance Max campaign data will not be synced. For more information, see Google's reporting documentation
7. Exclude the AdvertisingChannelSubType field. For more information, see Google's guide to creating Performance Max campaigns.
8. Click Save.

Limitations

It is not possible to view Performance Max campaigns at an ad-level. This is because custom ads are served in an automated way based on inputs from asset groups.
