What Google Ads in Slack gives you
How do I connect Google Ads to Slack? Connect Google Ads in PaidSync, then open Connect apps, press Add to Slack and pick a channel for the brand. Every morning the brand's Google Ads report posts there, and anyone in the channel can ask @PaidSync a question.
1A daily Google Ads report in the channel
At about 9:00 in the brand's time zone: spend, conversions and pacing against the monthly budget. From step 5 of the Slack guide.
2Ask questions in plain words
Mention @PaidSync and the answer comes back in a thread. From step 3 of the guide.
@PaidSync report last 7 days
3Alerts when something matters
Set a watch at a time you pick; PaidSync checks every 15 minutes and posts in the channel. From step 7 of the guide.
4Approve changes before they run
In an internal channel or a DM, a mention prepares the change as a card. Nothing is applied until you approve it.
5Budgets said in Slack, with Undo
Say the monthly budget, a target cost per conversion or a target ROAS. The reply shows old to new, with Undo. From step 6 of the guide.
