Sync Segments to Google

Sync your Triple Whale Customer Segments directly to Google Ads as Customer Match audiences. Once synced, you can use these audiences for ad targeting, exclusions, or as seed audiences for Google Similar Audiences—all powered by Triple Pixel data that captures up to 40% more users than standard tracking.


How It Works

After you've created and saved a segment, you can sync it to your connected Google Ads account. Triple Whale creates a new Customer Match audience in Google and keeps it updated as customers enter or exit your segment.

To Sync a Segment to Google:

Reauthentication required: You will be prompted to reauthenticate your Google Ads connection to access this feature.

  1. Go to your Segments list

  2. Find the segment you want to sync

  3. Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on the right side

  4. Select Manage Syncs

  5. In the Syncs modal under Create new sync, select:

    • Provider: Choose Google

    • Google Account: Select your connected ad account

  6. Click Submit

Note: You cannot sync a segment until it finishes building. Wait for the segment to fully process before setting up syncs.


Managing Your Sync

Once a sync is created, it appears in the Active Syncs section at the top of the Syncs modal.

Sync Now — Click the Sync Now button to manually push the latest segment data to Google immediately.

Pause a Sync — Toggle the Active switch off to stop updates; your Google audience will remain but become static.

Resume a Sync — Toggle the Active switch back on to restart automatic updates.


Why Sync to Google?

More accurate audiences

Triple Pixel captures events that Google's native tracking misses. Syncing these segments means your Google audiences include customers that would otherwise be invisible to the platform.

Better similar audiences

Use your Triple Whale segments as seed audiences for Google's audience expansion. Because your seed data is more complete, the resulting audiences perform better.

Smarter exclusions

Exclude recent purchasers, high-value customers, or any custom segment from prospecting campaigns—without relying solely on Google's limited attribution window.


Common Use Cases

Exclude recent buyers

Sync a "Purchased in last 14 days" segment and use it as an exclusion in your prospecting campaigns to avoid wasted ad spend.

Target cart abandoners

Sync your cart abandoner segment for retargeting campaigns with reminder ads or discount offers.

Build better audiences

Sync a segment of your highest-value repeat customers. Use it as a seed audience in Google to find similar high-potential shoppers.

Re-engage lapsed customers

Sync a "Lapsed 90+ days" segment and run win-back campaigns with personalized offers.


Requirements

  • Active Google Ads integration in Triple Whale

  • Reauthentication required: You will need to reauthenticate your Google connection to access this feature.

  • Segment must be fully built before syncing
