While being one of the biggest traffic sources available, Google Ads does not support GET parameters for passing costs. Our API integration will allow you to sync costs between Google Ads and Binom.

How it works

Below you may find some requirements for successfully syncing Binom and Google Ads via API:

• — Campaigns in Binom need to have new clicks coming in (costs will not get updated in a campaign unless it received clicks recently).
• — {campaignid} token needs to be in the link.
• — {campaignid} should be set up as Token 1 in the Google Ads traffic source used in the campaign:




• — Campaigns in Binom should be linked to an existing Google Ads account:

Costs syncing is confined to the current day, i.e. enabling it today will not get yesterday's costs updated in Binom.

Costs are synced once every 30 minutes: today's total spend in Google Ads is spread equally over today's clicks in linked Binom campaigns according to campaignid.
