Requirements
- A Google login with access to at least one Google Ads account; standard or admin access to allow changes

Connect
1
Open Integrations
Open Integrations in the left sidebar and find Google Ads under Advertising.

Click Connect
You’re redirected to Google. Sign in with the login that has access to your ad accounts and approve access — keep every requested permission checked.
Choose the accounts the agent uses by default
If the login reaches many ad accounts, click View on the card and use Agent default accounts to select the ones the agent should work with first. It can still reach all the others — just name one in chat. See Agent default accounts. To connect a second Google login, click View → Add one more account.What you can ask
Pull the last 7 days of Google Ads spend and break it down by campaign.
Which campaigns have ROAS below 2 this month?
What changed in my account in the last week?
What the agent can do
The agent can create and adjust campaigns, manage budgets, and generate ad creatives. By default the agent runs its tools on its own: the Tool approvals setting in the chat composer starts on Skip all approvals. To review changes before they happen, switch it to Approve write & delete (reads run freely, changes need approval) or Manual approve (every tool that touches your data needs approval). Scheduled tasks run without an approval step. Improvements the agent finds on its own go to your Inbox instead: nothing there changes until you approve. In Claude, approvals are set in Claude itself — set write and delete tools to Needs approval to be asked first (see Permissions & approvals).Check your Tool approvals setting before you ask the agent to work on a live spending account. This is the connection where an unwanted change costs real money.
