Most powerful ways to connect Google Ads and Grist

Google Ads + Grist + Slack: When a Google Ads campaign's performance metrics (obtained via 'Search Campaigns') indicate a significant drop, the specific failing ad details are recorded in a Grist sheet ('Create Records'). Subsequently, a Slack message ('Send Public Channel Message') is sent to alert the team about the performance decline, referencing the newly created Grist record.

Grist + Google Ads + Google Analytics: When new records are created or updated in Grist ('Created or Updated Records (Instant)'), representing top-performing products, corresponding keywords are added to Google Ads ('Search Campaigns'). Google Analytics ('Run Report') is then used to track the performance of these new keywords.
