Connections feature
Updated Mar 28, 2025
The Connections feature streamlines how you authenticate and manage integrations with third-party platforms directly from your sGTM container settings. Instead of manually creating apps, handling OAuth tokens, or juggling security credentials, you can log in via Connections. Stape then securely manages the OAuth tokens on your behalf, eliminating most of the technical overhead associated with these integrations.
Stape will handle all your oAuth tokens for:
- Microsoft Advertising.
- Google Sheets.
- Google Ads for Offline conversions.
The Connections feature is available for Pro server-side GTM subscriptions and higher.
Benefits of the Connections feature
- Easy setup - no need to manually create apps in Azure or Google Cloud Platform. Stape handles all token management, drastically simplifying integration.
- Time-saving - marketers and analysts can focus on what matters (collecting data and running campaigns) rather than wrestling with OAuth workflows.
How to use Connections
1. Log in to your stape.io account.
2. Select your sGTM container on the dashboard.

3. Open the Connections tab.

4. Click Sign in for the service you’d like to connect to.

5. Go through the service’s authorization process, e.g. use your Google account that has access to the Google Ads account you’re connecting to.
Testing the Connections feature
If you can see that the service’s interface shows that you’re authorized into your account, then the Connections feature is working properly.
