Google Analytics (AdWords) replication

Google Analytics (AdWords) Replication and Attribution Windows

Every time Stitch runs a replication job for Google Analytics (AdWords), the last 15 days’ worth of data will be replicated.

This is applicable to all tables in the integration.

Stitch replicates data in this way to account for updates made to existing records within the default attribution window of 15 days, thus ensuring you won’t make decisions based on stale (or false) data. As a result, you may see a higher number of replicated rows than what’s being generated in Google Analytics (AdWords).

Setting the Replication Frequency to a higher frequency - like 30 minutes - can result in re-replicating recent data and contribute to greater row usage. Selecting a lower frequency can help keep your row count low.

Google Analytics (AdWords) table reference

After the first successful sync of your Google Analytics (AdWords) data, you’ll see two tables in your destination. These tables follow this naming convention:

adwords[GA profile id]_integration version

For example: adwords123456789_v2. In this case, the profile ID is 123456789 and the version of the AdWords integration is 2.

In the section below, you’ll find a list of the attributes in these tables, a brief description, and links to Google’s more in-depth documentation.

Campaign Names and Primary Keys

Stitch’s Google Analytics (AdWords) integration uses the campaign name (campaign) as part of the Primary Key for both the adwords and campaign tables. Because of this, changing campaign names may lead to data discrepancies.

To account for the name change and resolve any data discrepancies, take the following steps:

1. Delete the affected AdWords data from your destination. Feel free to delete the data back to the date of the earliest campaign which was renamed.
2. Re-replicate your AdWords data by following these instructions, setting the start date back to the date of the earliest campaign which was renamed. This will reset the integration’s Replication Keys and re-replicate all data back to the integration’s defined Start Date.

Google Analytics (AdWords) & (not set) Values

According to Google’s documentation:

(not set) is a placeholder name that Analytics uses when it hasn’t received any information for a dimension.

In general, if (not set) appears in your Google AdWords reports, it means that the property being tracked in the Analytics account is receiving traffic from an AdWords account that isn’t linked to the reporting view. Follow the tips in the AdWords section of this Google article to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
