Required Integrations

Before setting up this workflow, you'll need to configure four integrations. Don't worry—we'll walk through each one step-by-step.

Google Ads

Why it's needed: This integration connects directly to your Google Ads account to pull campaign performance metrics like impressions, clicks, conversions, and spend.

Setup steps:

1. Log in to your Google Cloud Console at console.cloud.google.com
2. Create a new project (or select an existing one)
3. Enable the Google Ads API in the API library
4. Navigate to Credentials and create an OAuth 2.0 Client ID (Desktop application type)
5. Download the credentials JSON file
6. In TaskAGI, go to Integrations → Google Ads
7. Paste your credentials and authorize the connection
8. Select the Google Ads account you want to monitor

How to obtain credentials:

• You'll need a Google account with access to your Google Ads account
• The Google Cloud project must be in the same organization as your Google Ads account
• Ensure you have Admin or Standard access to the Google Ads account

Configuration in TaskAGI:

• Select your Google Ads account ID from the dropdown
• Verify the connection shows "Active" before proceeding

OpenAI

Why it's needed: Powers the AI analysis node that interprets your performance data and generates intelligent recommendations using GPT-4o.

Setup steps:

1. Visit platform.openai.com and sign in (or create an account)
2. Navigate to API Keys in your account settings
3. Click Create new secret key
4. Copy the generated API key (you won't see it again)
5. In TaskAGI, go to Integrations → OpenAI
6. Paste your API key and save
7. Verify the connection by testing it

How to obtain credentials:

• Create a free OpenAI account at openai.com
• Add a payment method (you'll only pay for API usage, typically $1-5 per month for this workflow)
• Generate an API key from the dashboard

Configuration in TaskAGI:

• Model is pre-set to gpt-4o (recommended for best analysis quality)
• Ensure your OpenAI account has sufficient credits
• Monitor usage in your OpenAI dashboard to track costs

Google Sheets

Why it's needed: Stores your performance reports in a spreadsheet for easy access, sharing, and historical tracking.

Setup steps:

1. Create a new Google Sheet at sheets.google.com (or use an existing one)
2. Name it something descriptive like "Google Ads Performance Reports"
3. Create column headers in the first row: Date, Campaign Name, Impressions, Clicks, Conversions, Spend, Analysis, Recommendations
4. Right-click the sheet tab and select Share
5. Copy the sheet URL from your browser (it looks like https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/[SHEET_ID]/edit)
6. In TaskAGI, go to Integrations → Google Sheets
7. Authorize TaskAGI to access your Google account
8. Paste your sheet URL in the workflow configuration

How to obtain credentials:

• Use your Google account (same one as Google Ads if possible)
• Ensure the sheet is not in a shared drive with restricted permissions
• The sheet must be editable by the authorized account

Configuration in TaskAGI:

• Sheet URL: Paste the full URL from your browser
• Sheet Name: Leave as "Sheet1" or specify your tab name
• Test the connection to ensure TaskAGI can write to the sheet

Slack

Why it's needed: Delivers your performance report directly to your team's Slack channel, ensuring everyone sees the insights immediately.

Setup steps:

1. Go to api.slack.com and sign in with your Slack workspace account
2. Click Create New App → From scratch
3. Name it "TaskAGI Reports" and select your workspace
4. In OAuth & Permissions, add these scopes: chat:write, files:upload
5. Install the app to your workspace
6. Copy the Bot User OAuth Token (starts with xoxb-)
7. In TaskAGI, go to Integrations → Slack
8. Paste your token and save
9. Select the channel where reports should be posted

How to obtain credentials:

• You need admin access to your Slack workspace
• The bot token grants TaskAGI permission to post messages
• Keep your token secure—never share it publicly

Configuration in TaskAGI:

• Bot Token: Your OAuth token from Slack
• Channel: Select or enter the channel name (e.g., #marketing-reports)
• Test by sending a message to verify the connection works
