What it is

Access Ad Manager data and settings with an Ad Manager SOAP API Client.

Real use case example

"A founder wants to automate the process of updating ad targeting rules in Google Ad Manager based on changes to their email list in Google Sheets. First, they set up a schedule in Google Sheets to run a script that pulls email changes. Then, they use this skill to connect to Ad Manager and update the targeting rules. As a result, they save time and reduce the risk of human error."
