Sync the audience with Google Adwords

You can sync the audience created in CustomerLabs to Google Adwords as a customer list by creating a segment in CustomerLabs and syncing it with an existing list or a new list in Adwords Audience Manager. Currently, you can send data to Adwords only as a customer list and not as an event.

Check out this video to know how to sync the audiences with Google Adwords

Make sure you have completed the authentication of your Google Adwords account before syncing.

Hereโ€™s how you can sync the audience with Google Adwords as a customer list:

1. Create a new segment with the desired events or user traits in CustomerLabs โ†’ Go to โ€œSchemaโ€ tab of the segment created.

2. Configure the Segment Schema as needed for the customer list to be created or synced in Google Adwords. Add customerlabs_user_id in schema to sync anonymous users with Adwords.

3. Now go to โ€œList Syncโ€ tab and click on โ€œMap Schemaโ€ for Google Adwords.

4. In the โ€œList to syncโ€ tab, choose the audience list from the lists that are already created in Google Adwords or choose โ€œCreate New Listโ€.

Note: To sync both anonymous and known users, select โ€œCreate New Listโ€ to upload a new list with unique user IDs (i.e customerlabs_user_id

5. If you have chosen โ€œCreate New Listโ€, you will have to โ€œChoose the upload key typeโ€. The key type is nothing but the parameter that is used to match the users with Google Adwords.

  • To sync anonymous users, you will have to give the key type as โ€œCrm idโ€.
  • To sync known users, you will have to give the key type as “Contact info”

6. Give a name for the audience list if you have created a new list.

7. Once the audience list is selected or created, โ€œCustom audience Infoโ€ will be displayed.

Note: If it shows โ€œError Fetching dataโ€, make sure to re-authenticate your Google Adwords account from Menu โ†’ Destinations page โ†’ Google Adwords.

8. Go to the โ€œSchema Mappingโ€ tab

  • For anonymous users sync, map โ€œcustomerlabs_user_idโ€ with Google Adwords โ€œThird party user idโ€ and then click โ€œ+โ€
  • For known users sync, map the schema you have added in Step 2 with Google Adwords schema then click โ€œ+โ€. 

Note: For anonymous users (key: Crm id), you can add only โ€œcustomerlabs_user_idโ€ as the schema and you can’t add other schema like email, phone number, etc. Adding other schema will throw an error while syncing.

9. Once this is done, click โ€œSave List and Schemaโ€

10. Now turn on the toggle under โ€œStatusโ€ for Google Adwords.

11. Click โ€œInstant Syncโ€ to sync the list now.

12. Go to โ€œConfigurationโ€ tab and set the โ€œRefresh intervalโ€ as required โ†’ Save Configuration

13. You can check the log for the segment from the โ€œLogsโ€ tab and also the log for Google Adwords by going to โ€œList Syncโ€ tab โ†’ Google Adwords โ†’ โ€œShow Logsโ€ for the latest update that has happened.

Check if the audience has been created/synced

You can check whether the list has been created/synced with Google Adwords after 10-15 minutes if you have enabled โ€œInstant Syncโ€ or after the refresh interval days set for the segment.

1. Go to Google Adwords โ†’ Tools & Settings โ†’ โ€œAudience Managerโ€ under โ€œShared Libraryโ€ โ†’ Segments โ†’ Check if the audience has been created under the same name as given in CustomerLabs or the existing list has been updated.

Audiences will be updated on a regular basis based on the refresh interval given for the segment in CustomerLabs.

Usage of audience in Campaigns

Upload key type: Crm id

The audience synced using Crm id as an identifier (sending both anonymous and known users) is supported only for Search and Youtube ads.

If you would want to use a specific audience for display or other ads, you can use a combination of audiences from Google Analytics (powered by CustomerLabs) and Google Adwords (powered by CustomerLabs).

Upload key type: Contact info

For Contact info upload type, there are no restrictions as mentioned above.
