    Click "Add a new destination".
  3. 3.

  7. 7.

Google Ads proposes a multiple of different event types: Page View, Purchase, Download, etc. DinMo supports each of these events.
Note that on DinMo, each event activation corresponds to one and only of these types. The type is specified in the setup process described below. If you want to send multiple types of events to Google Ads, you should do the following:
  • Create an event segment per event type you wish to activate. This can be done easily using the no-code visual builder.
  • Activate each of these event segments with the process described below.
