# Connect Google Ads

> Connect Google Ads for reporting and approval-bound campaign management.

Google Ads is a **Dev Testing** and **Conditional** integration. daoco hosts [Google's official MCP package](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/developer-toolkit/mcp-server) for discovery and reporting, with DAOCO-owned typed tools for controlled campaign status and daily-budget changes. Workspace users do not enter client IDs, secrets, endpoints, developer tokens, or scopes.

## Connect Google Ads

<Steps>
  <Step title="Enable Dev Testing">
    A workspace owner or admin must enable **Dev Testing** integrations in **Settings** -> **Preview features**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the Google Ads card">
    In daoco, open **Connections** -> **Integrations** -> **Dev Testing** and choose **Google Ads**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose Connect">
    Choose **Connect**. A Google authorization window opens immediately; there is no workspace configuration form.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve Google Ads access">
    Sign in with a Google user who can access the ad account and approve `https://www.googleapis.com/auth/adwords`. Google does not define a separate write scope.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify from chat">
    Ask [`/integration`](/connections/integrations#what-is-mcp) for an account or campaign summary. In an organization explicitly enabled for V1 writes, request a pause, enable, or daily-budget change. daoco first reads the resource, validates the exact mutation without executing it, and requires **Confirm and apply** before the approval-locked apply tool runs.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Warning>
  The Connect button remains unavailable until daoco's Google Ads developer
  token and OAuth app are configured for Dev Testing and the service is online.
  Production writes remain disabled until Google approves Basic Access with Ad
  creation / management and Reporting permissible uses.
</Warning>

V1 does not create or remove campaigns, manage billing or conversions, apply
recommendations, or perform bulk/cross-account writes. Search campaign creation
in a paused state is planned for V1.1.
