How to connect Google Ads and Motion
Create a New Scenario to Connect Google Ads and Motion
In the workspace, click the “Create New Scenario” button.

Add the First Step
Add the first node – a trigger that will initiate the scenario when it receives the required event. Triggers can be scheduled, called by a Google Ads, triggered by another scenario, or executed manually (for testing purposes). In most cases, Google Ads or Motion will be your first step. To do this, click "Choose an app," find Google Ads or Motion, and select the appropriate trigger to start the scenario.

Add the Google Ads Node
Select the Google Ads node from the app selection panel on the right.

Save and Activate the Scenario
After configuring Google Ads, Motion, and any additional nodes, don’t forget to save the scenario and click "Deploy." Activating the scenario ensures it will run automatically whenever the trigger node receives input or a condition is met. By default, all newly created scenarios are deactivated.
Test the Scenario
Run the scenario by clicking “Run once” and triggering an event to check if the Google Ads and Motion integration works as expected. Depending on your setup, data should flow between Google Ads and Motion (or vice versa). Easily troubleshoot the scenario by reviewing the execution history to identify and fix any issues.
Most powerful ways to connect Google Ads and Motion
Google Ads + Motion + Slack: When a Google Ads campaign is paused (which is not available in the given actions), this automation uses 'Get Campaign' to periodically check the campaign status. If the campaign's status is 'paused', Motion will unassign tasks related to that campaign, and Slack will send a notification to a specified channel alerting the team about the pause and resource reallocation.
Motion + Google Ads + Google Sheets: When Motion creates a new task, the automation uses Google Ads to search for related ad groups. It then takes a keyword suggestion from one of the ad groups (this part is simplified as we can only search, not get suggestions directly) and adds it as a new row to a specified Google Sheet.
