You can sync data from Google Ads reports by configuring it as a source in PostHog. The supported reports that can be synced include Ad, AdStats, AdGroup, AdGroupStats, Campaign, CampaignStats, Keyword, KeywordStats, Video, and VideoStats, as they are described here. Additional reports will be added based on user feedback we receive via our in-app support form.
