Depending on your setup, data should flow between Cloudinary and Google Ads (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Cloudinary and Google Ads
Cloudinary + Google Ads + Airtable: When a new resource is uploaded to Cloudinary, its URL is used to create an ad creative in Google Ads. Performance data for the ad is then periodically logged in Airtable for analysis.
Google Ads + Cloudinary + Slack: When a Google Ads campaign is approved, the workflow retrieves the associated image from Cloudinary (using the campaign name or a tag). A Slack message is then sent to a designated channel with a link to the image.
