Integration Center gives you the opportunity to link products to one another so they can share data. For example:
- Display & Video 360 and Universal Analytics 360: export Display & Video 360 campaign data to Analytics; export Analytics audiences to Display & Video 360
- Search Ads 360 and Universal Analytics 360: export Search Ads 360 campaign data to Analytics; export Analytics conversion data to Search Ads 360
- Universal Analytics 360 and Google Ads: export Analytics audiences, conversions, and site data to Ads; export Ads conversions to Analytics
More information about each integration is available on the related card in Integration Center.
You cannot use Integration Center to link Google Analytics 4 properties to other products. You create those links in Admin for each Google Analytics 4 property. Learn more
