Ads DevCast episode 2: Data Manager API unifies audience and conversion ingestion
Cory Liseno has published episode 2 of the Ads DevCast podcast, focused on the Data Manager API with Product Manager Melissa Ng. The episode covers how the unified ingestion API enables first-party data to be sent to multiple Google advertising products: Google Ads, DV360, and others: in a single API call, reducing engineering overhead and the need for fragmented pipelines.

What changed
Confidential Matching is built in by default for privacy compliance. An upcoming addition will surface API diagnostic information directly in the Google Ads UI, though this has not yet launched.
Why it matters for advertisers
For you, this means any team currently managing separate audience and conversion pipelines across Google products should evaluate the Data Manager API as a consolidation path: particularly relevant following the ActiveCampaign integration announced last week.
