## Getting Started

> info ""

## Hashing

Google requires you to hash all PII before sending it to the Google API.

The Google Campaign Manager 360 destination supports hashing for the following fields:

* Email
* Phone
* First Name
* Last Name
* Street Address

The hashing algorithm used is SHA-256. If incoming data arrives already hashed, the destination will not hash it again. The values will be sent as-is to Google.

## FAQ and troubleshooting

### Refreshing access tokens

When you use OAuth to authenticate into the Google Campaign Manager 360 destination, Segment stores an access token and refresh token. Access tokens for Google Campaign Manager 360 expire after one hour. Once expired, Segment receives an error and then uses the refresh token to fetch a new access token. This results in two API requests to Google Campaign Manager 360, one failure and one success.

Because of the duplicate API requests, you may see a warning in Google for unprocessed conversions due to incorrect or missing OAuth credentials. This warning is expected and does not indicate data loss. Google has confirmed that conversions are being processed, and OAuth retry behavior will not cause any issues for your web conversions. Whenever possible, Segment caches access tokens to reduce the total number of requests made to Google Campaign Manager 360.
