How to connect your Google Ads account
uplads launches to Google Ads the same way it does to Meta and TikTok - connect once, then launch your creatives in bulk.
Connect Google Ads
- Open Configuration → Connections.
- In the Google Ads Connection card, click Connect Google Ads.
- Sign in with the Google account that has access to your Google Ads accounts and approve the requested permission.
- You'll land back on the Connections page and the card shows how many ad accounts are available. Manager (MCC) hierarchies are followed automatically - every client account your login can reach appears in the list.
Pick the account for each workspace account
Most teams map one workspace ad account to one Google Ads account. In the same card, pick the Google Ads account for your currently selected workspace account. From then on the Google account appears as its own row in the Ad Launcher's account picker, and picking it switches the launcher to Google Ads.
Disconnecting
- Go to Configuration → Connections and click Settings on the Google Ads tile. The button is there as soon as the workspace has a Google login, even when no ad account is paired with it yet.
- Click Disconnect Google Ads.
- A confirmation explains what stops working (launches and YouTube uploads, the Google Ads Manager, Analytics and MCP access for these customer accounts) and reminds you that live campaigns keep running and spending in Google Ads.
- Leave Also remove uplads from my Google account ticked to withdraw the permissions at Google as well, so uplads no longer appears among the apps with access to your Google Account. Google withdraws every permission at once, including YouTube uploads and Google Drive imports made with the same Google account. uplads skips this step on its own while another workspace of yours still has a Google Ads login, and tells you so.
- Click Disconnect Google Ads to finish, or Cancel to back out with no changes.
After a successful disconnect you stay on Connections, the Google Ads tile shows that it is no longer connected, a message confirms whether uplads was also removed from your Google account, and Connect Google Ads is right there for a reconnect. Your ad accounts, their customer pairing, creatives, templates and launch history stay in uplads.
Troubleshooting
- The card shows 0 ad accounts. Your Google login has no active Google Ads accounts, or access is still being set up. Click Refresh accounts after fixing access in Google Ads.
- Launches fail with a permission error. The connected Google login lost access to the account, or the connection was revoked. Click Reauthorize to run the sign-in again.
- You connected the wrong Google account. Disconnect, then connect again and pick the right Google login on the account chooser.
