My question is related to the connection of google analytics data with google ads data. I have auto-tagging enabled in GA and Google Ads. And I have "Allow manual utm_parameters overwrite auto-tagging parameters in GA". In the link I have manually specified the utm parameters that are different to google/cpc and when clicking on the ad gclid is appended. But I can't see any sessions assigned to any campaign in the report.

Do someone have any ideas why could it happen? My utm_parameters for source / medium are different from google / cpc. Could it be the reason?

Thanks in advance

    If you don't have gclid and if you have source / medium other than google / cpc, Google will not be able to recognize that those sessions are from Google Ads, you will probably find them in the (Other) channel in Google Analytics.

      Thanks Michele for the quick answer :) but in case we have gclid, but have source/medium other than google/cpc can't it recognize the google ads data?

      If you have enable "Allow manual utm_parameters overwrite auto-tagging parameters in GA", il gclid is overeritten.

      aah, ok, so we can't than map gclid from google ads with gclid from ga as it's being overwritten?
