Use CData Connect Cloud to connect to Google Campaign Manager 360 from Google Cloud Data Fusion, enabling the integration of live Google Campaign Manager 360 data into the building and management of effective data pipelines.
Google Cloud Data Fusion simplifies building and managing data pipelines by offering a visual interface to connect, transform, and move data across various sources and destinations, streamlining data integration processes. When combined with CData Connect Cloud, it provides access to Google Campaign Manager 360 data for building and managing ELT/ETL data pipelines. This article explains how to use CData Connect Cloud to create a live connection to Google Campaign Manager 360 and how to connect and access live Google Campaign Manager 360 data from the Cloud Data Fusion platform.
Configure Google Campaign Manager 360 Connectivity for Cloud Data Fusion
Connectivity to Google Campaign Manager 360 from Cloud Data Fusion is made possible through CData Connect Cloud. To work with Google Campaign Manager 360 data from Cloud Data Fusion, we start by creating and configuring a Google Campaign Manager 360 connection.
- Log into Connect Cloud, click Connections and click Add Connection
- Select "Google Campaign Manager 360" from the Add Connection panel
-
Enter the necessary authentication properties to connect to Google Campaign Manager 360.
Google Campaign Manager uses the OAuth authentication standard. The data provider facilitates OAuth in various ways as described below. The following OAuth flow requires the authenticating user to interact with DoubleClick Campaign Manager, using the browser. You can also use a service account to authenticate.
For authentication guides, see the Getting Started section of the data provider help documentation.
- Click Create & Test
- Navigate to the Permissions tab in the Add Google Campaign Manager 360 Connection page and update the User-based permissions.
Add a Personal Access Token
If you are connecting from a service, application, platform, or framework that does not support OAuth authentication, you can create a Personal Access Token (PAT) to use for authentication. Best practices would dictate that you create a separate PAT for each service, to maintain granularity of access.
- Click on your username at the top right of the Connect Cloud app and click User Profile.
- On the User Profile page, scroll down to the Personal Access Tokens section and click Create PAT.
- Give your PAT a name and click Create.
- The personal access token is only visible at creation, so be sure to copy it and store it securely for future use.
With the connection configured, you are ready to connect to Google Campaign Manager 360 data from Cloud Data Fusion.
