How Blendo syncs Google AdWords data

Historical Data
When Blendo first connects to Google AdWords Data source, will pull all your historical data.
Sync Schedule
Blendo syncs Google AdWords data based on the schedule and frequency you choose. The default setting is every 1 hour but is configurable from inside the app.

Replication Process
The first time Blendo syncs your Google AdWords data performs a full replication. Then your Google AdWords data is replicated incrementally. Meaning that Blendo will replicate only new and updated rows to your destination data warehouse.
