[No Code Solution] How to Automatically Link YouTube Data to Google Ads

Let's Create a YouTube and Google Ads Integration Flow

Now, let's create a flow that integrates YouTube and Google Ads!
This time, we'll use Yoom to proceed with the integration of YouTube and Google Ads without any coding.
If you don't have a Yoom account yet, please issue one from the registration form here.

[What is Yoom]

This time, we will create a flowbot that "retrieves a campaign report on Google Ads when a video is uploaded on YouTube".
The creation process is broadly divided into the following steps.

• Integrate YouTube and Google Ads with My Apps
• Copy the template
• Set up YouTube triggers and configure Google Ads and Slack actions
• Set the trigger to ON and complete the preparation for flow operation

Step 1: Register Your Apps with YouTube and Google Ads

As a preliminary step, let's connect each app with Yoom.

YouTube App Registration Procedure

Let's start by connecting YouTube.
After logging into Yoom, click on "My Apps" and select "+ Add".

‍

‍

Search for YouTube in the app list using the search bar and select it.

‍

‍

Clicking it will take you to the screen to connect with your Google account.
Select the account you want to connect.

‍

‍

Click "Continue".

‍

‍

Select "Continue".

‍

‍

You have now registered your app with YouTube.

Google Ads App Registration Procedure

Proceed in the same way as before by going to My Apps → "+ Add".

‍

‍

Use the search bar in the app list to select Google Ads.

‍

‍

Click "Sign in with Google".

‍

‍

Select the account you want to connect.
Next,Select "Continue".

‍

‍

You have now registered your app with Google Ads.

Slack App Registration Procedure

Since we will be setting up a configuration to notify Slack of the campaign report obtained from Google Ads, please connect Slack with Yoom.
Proceed in the same way as before by clicking My Apps → "+ Add".

Use the search bar in the app list to select Slack.

Select the channel to post to from the dropdown and click "Allow".

‍

‍

You have now registered your app with Slack.

Step 2: Copy the Template

Next, we will perform the task of copying a template from Yoom.
Besides using a template, you can also create from scratch!
Here, we will introduce the procedure for creating using a template for easier setup.

Please click "Try it".

Click "OK".

‍

‍

Now you have copied the template.
The copied template is saved in My Projects.

Step 3: Set up the YouTube trigger

Next, proceed to the Flowbot settings.
Click "When the latest video is published on a YouTube channel" in the copied template.

‍

‍

Select the linked account and action

The title is pre-entered, but you can change it.
Check the account information linked to YouTube.
Ensure that the trigger action "When a new video is published on the YouTube channel" is selected, and click Next.

‍

‍

API connection settings for app trigger

Set the trigger activation interval.
The trigger activation timing can be set to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 30 minutes, or 60 minutes.
The shortest interval that can be set for the trigger depends on your plan, so be sure to check that.
The trigger activation interval is the time to check whether the trigger action (when a new video is published on the YouTube channel) is executed at the set time.
It is generally recommended to set it to the shortest activation interval for that plan.

Check the annotations to set the channel ID.
After setting, publish the latest video on the YouTube channel and click Test.

‍

‍

If the test is successful, you can retrieve YouTube information.
Once you have done this, please save it.
‍

‍

Step 4: Set up Google Ads action

Next, click "Retrieve Campaign Report".

‍

‍

Select the linked account and action

You can change the title.
Check the account information linked to Google Ads.
Ensure that the action "Retrieve Campaign Report" is selected, and click Next.

‍

‍

API connection settings

Check the Google Ads management screen for the ad account ID and enter it.
Enter the campaign name.

‍

‍

Set the start and end of the period from the date items.

‍

‍

After setting, click Test.
If the test is successful and you can retrieve Google Ads information, please save it.

‍

Step 5: Set up Slack action

This is the final setup step.
Click "Send a message to the channel".

‍

‍

Select the linked account and action

You can change the title.
Check the account information you want to link with Slack.
Ensure that the action "Send message to channel" is selected, and click Next.

‍

‍

API connection settings

Select the channel ID to post from the candidates.

‍

‍

Select the message from the Google Ads output and create the message.
By utilizing the output, there is no need to manually set the values each time.
If you create a sentence without using the output, the same content will be repeatedly notified to Slack, so be sure to utilize the output.
Refer to this for more information on the output.
After setting, click Test.

‍

‍

If the test is successful and you can notify Slack with Google Ads information, please save it.

‍

‍

After saving, turn on the trigger and check the operation.

‍

‍

Now the Flowbot setup is complete.
