Intro

Google Cloud Storage is an Internet service used to store data in Google’s cloud. You can use Domo’s DoubleClick Campaign Manager Service Account via Google Cloud Storage (DTV2) connector to retrieve DoubleClick Campaign Manager and DoubleClick Bid Manager data. To learn more about the DoubleClick Campaign Manager API, visit their page (https://developers.google.com/double…k-advertisers/).
Important: Due to Google’s change in allowing Domo connectors to use OAuth authentication, all users must now use service account key authentication to create new data connections. To create new DoubleClick Campaign Manager via DTV2 DataSets, use this connector. All pre-existing DoubleClick Campaign Manager via DTV2 DataSets will continue to run normally.
This connector pulls DCM tables from Google Cloud Storage into Domo. If you indicate that you want match tables included, these tables will be joined.

The connector brings in raw data, but you can aggregate the data to show metrics such as:

  • Impressions

  • Clicks

  • CTR

  • Rich media delivered

  • Activities for DCM campaigns

Primary Company Roles

  • Data specialists

  • Analysts

  • Major Domos

Average Implementation Time

Average time for the phases of implementation for this connector are as follows:

  • Configuring an export of your 4 tables to Google Cloud Storage - 2 hours

  • Configuring the Service JSON Key - 15 minutes or less

  • Configuring the connector - 20 minutes

The total time may also depend on the size of the files coming from DCM.

This section enumerates the options in the Credentials and Details panes in the DoubleClick Campaign Manager Service Account via DTV2 Service Connector page. The components of the other panes in this page, Scheduling and Name & Describe Your DataSet, are universal across most connector types and are discussed in greater length in Adding a DataSet Using a Data Connector.

​
Credentials Pane

This pane contains fields for entering credentials to connect to your DoubleClick Campaign Manager account. The following table describes what is needed for each field:

Field

Description

Service Account Key JSON Copy and paste the JSON for your Google service account key. For information about creating a key, see Prerequisites above.
Once you have entered a valid service account JSON key, you can use the same account any time you go to create a new DoubleClick Campaign Manager Service Account via DTV2 Service DataSet. You can manage connector accounts in the Accounts tab in the Data Center. For more information about this tab, see Managing User Accounts for Connectors.

​
Details Pane

This pane contains a primary Reports menu, along with various other menus which may or may not appear depending on the report type you select.
