The Google Ads Connector allows you to synchronize your Cloud4Wi Contacts into Google Audiences. Contact data is pseudo-anonymized before being transferred to Google and once Google receives it, it matches the records with Google to create a targetable Audience.
The Connector runs every hour and syncs new and updated Contact with the configured Audience. You can define the Segment to add to the audience.
In order to enable the Cloud4Wi Connector with Google, you will need the account credentials for a Google Ads account. The integration activation process will prompt you to log into your Google Ads account, and once logged in, Google will automatically retrieve the credentials that it needs to forward audience data to Google. Please note you will need to be an admin on the Google account in order to configure the audience output in Cloud4Wi.
