# Google Ads lead form webhook

> POST /v1/inbound/google-ads/{source_id}: Paste this URL and the source key into the lead form's webhook settings.

`POST /v1/inbound/google-ads/{source_id}`

Paste this URL and the source key into the lead form's webhook settings. Answers follow Google's retry rules: 200 on success, 400 for a bad key or malformed lead (not retried), 503 when Google should retry (never 429). `is_test` leads (Google's "Send test data") run in test mode.

|   |   |
| --- | --- |
| Credential | The source key, sent by Google as `google_key` in the payload. |
| Test mode | Works with test keys (test objects only). |

## Path parameters

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `source_id` | string | yes | The inbound source id (`src_…`). Id prefix `src_`. |

## Request body

Google Ads lead form webhook payload (user_column_data, google_key, lead_id, is_test, …).

## Response 200

Accepted.

## Errors

| Status | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `400` | Bad key or malformed lead (Google does not retry). |
| `404` | Not found (also for objects of other organizations and for organizations without an active grant). |
| `413` | Request bodies are limited to 256 KB. |
| `503` | Temporarily unavailable (Google retries). |
