Setup Guide

You can find your Google app credentials by visiting your Google Cloud Console dashboard.

You’ll need the following information to set up your Google App with Paragon Connect:

  • Client ID
  • Client Secret
  • Scopes Requested

Note: You’ll need to create a new project in Google Cloud Console if you don’t already have one.

This is an API-only integration - workflow actions for this integration are still in development. You can still connect user accounts, build workflows, and access the API for this integration.

​
Add the Redirect URL to your Google app

Paragon provides a redirect URL to send information to your Google app. To add the redirect URL to your Google app:

  1. Copy the link under “Redirect URL” in your integration settings in Paragon. The Redirect URL is:
https://passport.useparagon.com/oauth

  1. In your Google Cloud Console dashboard, navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials in the sidebar.

  2. Press ”+ Create Credentials”, then select OAuth client ID.

  3. Select “Web application” from the Application type drop-down menu.

Note: You’ll need to configure Google’s consent screen for access to Client ID and Client Secret if you haven’t already.

  1. Under Authorized redirect URIs, press the ”+ Add URI” button.

  2. Paste-in the redirect URL from Paragon.

  3. Press the blue “Create” button.

Google provides you with the Client ID and Client Secret needed for the next steps after adding the redirect URL to your project.

​
Add your Google app to Paragon

  1. Select Google Ad Manager from the Integrations Catalog.

  2. Under Integrations > Connected Integrations > Google Ad Manager > Settings, fill out your credentials from the end of Step 1 in their respective sections:

  • Client ID: Found at the end of Step 1.
  • Client Secret: Found at the end of Step 1.
  • Permissions: Select the scopes you’ve requested for your application. For a list of recommended scopes, please view this integration within your Paragon dashboard. View dashboard.

Press the blue “Connect” button to save your credentials.

Note: Leaving the Client ID and Client Secret blank will use Paragon development keys.

​
Connecting to Google Ad Manager

Once your users have connected their Google Ad Manager account, you can use the Paragon SDK to access the Google Ad Manager API on behalf of connected users.

See the Google Ad Manager REST API documentation for their full API reference.

Any Google Ad Manager API endpoints can be accessed with the Paragon SDK as shown in this example.

// You can find your project ID in the Overview tab of any Integration

// Authenticate the user
paragon.authenticate(<ProjectId>, <UserToken>);
            
// Create an Order
await paragon.request("googleadmanager", "/OrderService ", {
  method: "POST",
  body: `
    <createOrders xmlns="https://www.google.com/apis/ads/publisher/v202408">
      <orders>
          <name>[string?]</name>
          <status>[string?]</status>
          <isArchived>true</isArchived>
      </orders>
  </createOrders>`
});

// Query Line Items
await paragon.request("googleadmanager", "/LineItemService", {
  method: "POST",
  body: `
    <getLineItemsByStatement xmlns="https://www.google.com/apis/ads/publisher/v202408">
      <filterStatement/>
    </getLineItemsByStatement>`
});

​
Building Google Ad Manager workflows

Once your Google Ad Manager account is connected, you use the Google Ad Manager Request step to access any of Google Ad Manager’s API endpoints without the authentication piece.

When creating or updating records in Google Ad Manager, you can reference data from previous steps by typing {{ to invoke the variable menu.

​
Publishing your Google Ad Manager application

​
Setting up a Redirect Page in your app

Your Google Ad Manager integration requires a Redirect Page hosted in your application to support verification of your application by Google.

The Redirect Page should be implemented as follows:

  • Receives a GET request with a number of query parameters.
  • Redirect to https://passport.useparagon.com/oauth with the same query parameters.
paragon.connect("googleadmanager", {
  overrideRedirectUrl: "https://your-app.url/google-ad-manager-redirect"
});

​
Updating the allowed Redirect URL

If you were previously testing with https://passport.useparagon.com/oauth as your Google Ad Manager Redirect URL, you will need to update this value after implementing a Redirect Page:

  1. Log into your Google Cloud Console dashboard and select your application.

  2. Navigate to APIs & Services > Credentials and select the credentials you use with Paragon.

  3. Under Authorized redirect URIs, provide the URL of your Redirect Page.
