App Overview

As part of a Responsys program flow, you can now add or remove campaign members to one or more Google Ads custom audiences lists. The app even lets you create new custom audience lists. To use this app, you will need to have a Google Ads account that allows you to use custom audiences.

Per Google, Customer Match is not available for all advertisers. To use Customer Match, your account must have:

  • A good history of policy compliance.
  • A good payment history.
  • At least 90 days history in Google Ads.
  • More than USD 50,000 total lifetime spend. For advertisers whose accounts are managed in currencies other than USD, your spend amount will be converted to USD using the average monthly conversion rate for that currency.

If your Google Account has been enabled for Customer Match, this app is for you!

Activity Configuration

Step 1: Ensure Records have an Email Address

Google Ads uses a hashed version of the email address for audience matching. If the contact entering the app step does not have an email address, the app will be unable to send them to Google Ads for matching. A simple way to ensure contacts have an email address is to utilize a Data Switch immediately prior to the app step. This also allows for those contacts which do not have an email address to be orchestrated as appropriate for your needs. Records without an email address will be marked as errored by the app step.

Step 2: Add the Apps Activity

Within the Responsys Program, find the Apps Activity and drag it onto the canvas. Double click the Activity, select the Google Ads Custom Audiences app from the list, and click Done. Then, in the new popup click Configure app.

Step 3: Select Google Ads Account

From the list configured in the App install, choose the Google Ads account you wish to use for the Activity.

Step 4: Select Action (Add or Remove)

Choose the type of action for the Activity to take. Select the Add action to add Campaign members to one or more Google Ads Custom Audiences lists. Select the Remove action to remove Campaign members to one or more Google Ads Custom Audiences lists.

Step 5: Select Lists or Add New

Finally, select the Google Ads list(s) to add or remove the contacts. If desired, you can create a new list directly from the app clicking the blue + button. Provide a List Name and, optionally, a List Description.

Step 5: Save

Click Save to complete your app configuration. The Cloud Action will automatically enable when you publish the Program.

Step 6: Reporting

Detailed app reporting can be found in the app configuration by clicking on the chart icon.
