Once you have completed registration, let's create a flow bot that "gets the previous day's report from Google Ads every day and writes it in a spreadsheet."
Step 1: Link My Apps First, link the Google Ads you are using with Yoom.
From the left side of the Yoom page, select My Apps → + Add → Google Ads.

When the following screen appears, log in. Allow all permissions during authentication.
Next, link Google Spreadsheet. As you proceed with the login, you will see this screen, so confirm and click Continue.
This completes the app integration.
Next, copy the template to My Projects and create a Flowbot. Click "Try it" below.

Step 2: Set Triggers and Actions
As you proceed, the template will be copied to your workspace. If necessary, you can change the name of the template. Click My Projects on the left, and the template you just copied will appear, so click the ellipsis (...) on the right and select Edit.

I set it up like this in the spreadsheet. (I added the date myself so that I could tell when the report was from.)
Next, click "Calculation (Arithmetic Operations)". You can see the end of the setup!
For more details on "Performing Calculations", please check here.

Benefits of Integrating Google Ads with Google Sheets
Benefit 1: Time Savings
For marketers, creating daily reports is one of the tasks they want to streamline. By integrating Google Ads with Google Sheets, the process of manually obtaining reports and entering data daily is automated, allowing you to focus on other tasks during that time! For example, you might be able to allocate more time to data analysis of ad campaigns or devising new strategies.
Benefit 2: Improved Data Accuracy
When entering data manually, human errors such as omissions or input mistakes can occur, which may lead to incorrect judgments in ad performance measurement, strategy planning, and improvement measures. By implementing the integration of Google Ads and Google Sheets, you can enhance data accuracy and potentially create more reliable reports. This will not only improve the quality of ad management but also lead to faster decision-making. This integration could be particularly useful when handling large amounts of data or managing multiple campaigns.
Conclusion
By using Yoom to integrate Google Ads with Google Sheets, you may have experienced the convenience of having reports automatically transferred to spreadsheets daily without the need for complex coding.
While the coding setup is only in English, Yoom can be operated in Japanese. Automating manual data entry can save time and improve data accuracy. Creating graphs and charts based on automatically transferred data could make the effectiveness of ad campaigns more easily understandable.
Please try this method and enhance your work efficiency!
With Yoom, you can easily build the kind of collaboration described here without programming knowledge.
I have gained approximately three years of experience in the financial sector since graduating. Due to the nature of the industry, there were many manual tasks, and I often thought that automating them would allow us to focus on other work. It was during this time that I discovered Yoom. As I write blogs, I am continually impressed by the convenience of Yoom. I strive to maintain a clear and understandable structure.
