Registering takes a minute.
Before you start#
- Your Google Ads Customer ID (three groups of digits, top right in Google Ads) or your TikTok Ads Manager advertiser ID.
- The account's currency and timezone as set on the platform.
- A role with Connect & disconnect sources: owner or admin.
1. What works today#
As of September 2026 Google and TikTok are registered, not connected. The account row exists in your workspace, and Madder knows which platform, currency and timezone every figure will be in. The one-click consent is built for both; it is switched on the day each platform approves Madder's own developer access. Until then Madder cannot read spend or apply a change on these accounts. Meta already has it.
2. Register the account#
On the home screen press Add account, choose Google Ads or TikTok, then Add manually. Fill in:
- Account id — the Customer ID or advertiser ID.
- Name — what you call it internally.
- Currency — as set in the platform, three letters.
- Timezone — the account's reporting zone.
Press Register account. The source appears with the note connection pending.
3. What you will need when connection lands#
Nothing new: the same account id, and a Google or TikTok login that has access to it. Registered accounts will attach to the connection without re-entering anything.
4. Meanwhile#
Madder can still draft campaigns for Meta and manage them. If your only account is Google or TikTok, the agent will tell you it cannot read that account yet rather than guess.
If it doesn't work#
- "Register account" is refused — the currency must be exactly three letters and the timezone a real zone such as
Europe/Berlin. - The account shows no spend — expected; there is no connection yet.
