Overview

This node integrates with the Google Analytics API, specifically targeting the "Admin (V1Alpha) - Display & Video 360 Advertiser Link Proposal" resource. The operation "Create Display & Video 360 Advertiser Link Proposal" allows users to create proposals for linking Display & Video 360 advertisers to Google Analytics properties.

This functionality is useful in scenarios where organizations want to manage and propose advertiser linkages programmatically within their Google Analytics properties, facilitating better integration and data sharing between Google Analytics and Display & Video 360 platforms.

For example, a marketing team can automate the creation of advertiser link proposals for multiple properties, streamlining the process of managing advertising integrations at scale.
