How to Integrate Google Ads - Generator

Integrating Google ads with TrueCall

Updated over 2 months ago

Welcome to TrueCall for Google ads! This integration allows you to document consumer calls initiated from Google ads. As an approved Google app, it enables you to link specific call campaigns with your buyers using a simple key. Due to Google’s API limitations, the validation process for these calls may take up to 24 hours to appear in the TrueCall platform, unlike traditional live validations.

When linking your Google account, you will be redirected to a Google sign-in page and asked to agree to Google's Terms of Service. TrueCall will only ever read and never write using these permissions. Google requires the request to be a standard set.

TrueCall does not access any data or information related to your Google Ads account beyond what’s necessary for our Google integration to function.

Integrate your Google Ads Account

1. On the left hand side of your TrueCall dashboard select the integrations tab.

2. Select "Add Account"

3. Select the Google Integration

4. You will be prompted to login using your Google Ads account. You will then be asked to give TrueCall access to your Google account. This a requirement from Google to access their API.

5. Finally name your integration and you will be ready to set up a campaign.

Creating a Campaign

1. On the left hand side of your TrueCall dashboard, under GOOGLE, select G-Campaigns.

2. Select "Add Campaign" in the top right hand corner.

3. Give your campaign a name for easy reporting.

4. Once connected you will be asked to select which of your accounts you wish to connect to this campaign.

Please note that the loading time while connecting to Goolge, can take a few seconds. Do not refresh or move off the page at this point.

Populating your Generator Keys

You will need to populate "Generator Keys" to share with your buyers. Each buyer will need to receive their own key. This allows the calls on the selected campaign to be verified.

1. Now that your campaign is created and connected you will need to populate your "Generator Key". Under the Actions tab on your G-Campaigns list, select the "Links" icon. From there you will click "Create Key" to generate the key. After generating you will copy the key and share it with your end buyer.

Note: You can create as many "Keys" per campaign as you'd like. You will need to create a key for each End User that you are sending calls to from this campaign. Once the buyer has entered the key into their "end user campaign" you will see the key connected to "Buyer Team Name".

2. The final step is to copy your TrueCall webhook and add it to the corresponding campaign in your call tracking platform. This API key is specific to each campaign that you create in TrueCall, and will need to be updated in the corresponding campaigns in your call tracking platform.
