Setup Guide

Follow these steps to connect Bing Ads to your CData Connect Cloud account:

  1. Open the Connections page of the CData Connect Cloud dashboard.

  2. Click + Add Connection in the upper-right corner.

  3. Type Bing Ads into the search field, then click the data source name.

  4. On the Basic Settings tab of the new connection, enter a connection name or keep the default name.

  5. Enter your Customer Id. You can find this Id by logging into your Bing Ads account and navigating to the Accounts and Billing settings page. Your customer Id also appears as the final number in the Bing Ads URL when you are logged in (for example, azure.bingads.microsoft.com/cc/AccountDetails?cid=123456789).

  6. Enter your Developer Token. To get the token, log in to the Bing Ads Developer Portal as a Microsoft Account user with the Bing Ads Super Admin role. Then, click Request Token.

  7. (Optional) Enter your Account Id. This can be found in your Bing Ads account by navigating to the Accounts and Billing settings page. Then, click Your Account. If not specified, the connection automatically queries the first account found.

  8. Click Sign in to connect securely through OAuth. This action opens the Bing Ads sign-in page in a new tab.

  9. Log into your Bing Ads account and provide the requested permissions (if applicable).

  10. At the top of the CData Connect Cloud Add Bing Ads Connection page, click Save & Test.

    • If the connection test succeeds, a message indicates that your connection has been created. The Status on the Edit Connection page also changes to Authenticated.

    • If the connection test fails, ensure that you entered your login information correctly with no stray spaces or other characters. CData Connect Cloud displays error messages under the required fields with missing data. Some data sources require that you sign in directly to the source website. If you did not, an error message appears under the Sign in button. Correct the errors and try again.
