# How to connect

> How to connect the Naver GFA data source to Adriel: enter the Advertiser ID and grant Adriel's account manager access to the GFA ad account.

Naver GFA (Guaranteed Fixed Advertising) is Naver's performance-oriented display advertising platform, delivering banner and video ads across Naver's web portal, services like Naver Webtoon and Naver Blog, and partner properties. It is distinct from Naver Search Ads, which handles search. The connection model differs from every other ad connector: because Naver GFA does not expose OAuth or API keys to advertisers, Adriel uses a shared internal Naver account that is granted manager access to the GFA ad account, and data is retrieved through that shared session.

## Before you connect

The following are required:

* A Naver GFA ad account with admin access.
* The ability to add a manager account to the GFA ad account.
* The internal manager account ID that Adriel provides during setup.
* The **Advertiser ID** for the GFA ad account. To find it, sign in at [gfa.naver.com](https://gfa.naver.com); the numbers at the end of the account URL are the Advertiser ID. In `https://gfa.naver.com/adAccount/accounts/1234567?accessAdAccountNo=1234567`, the Advertiser ID is `1234567`.

## Connect Naver GFA

<Steps>
  <Step title="Select Naver GFA">
    On the **Data Sources** page, search for **Naver GFA** and select it. Enter the **Advertiser ID** gathered earlier, then click **Submit**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name the data source">
    Enter an **Account Name** — any readable, identifiable label — then click **Submit**. A new connection appears in the **Connected data sources** list with a **Pending** status.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Accept the manager invitation">
    Once the settings are checked, Naver sends an invitation email to join the Adriel account as a member, from `gfa_noreply@navercorp.com`. Open the email and complete the acceptance, then accept the administration access on the redirected page to finish the connection.
  </Step>
</Steps>

Initial data availability can take up to one business day.

## What gets imported

The connector imports the full campaign hierarchy (ad account → campaign → ad set → ad), standard performance metrics in KRW (with and without VAT), demographic and device breakdowns (age, gender, device target, hour of day, OS), and Korean e-commerce conversion events including `purchase`, `addToCart`, `signUp`, `wishlist`, `reservation`, `nPay` (Naver Pay), and the generic `convCount`.

For the complete metric list, breakdown coverage, and refresh schedule, see the [Naver GFA data reference](/data-sources/g-n/naver-gfa/data-reference).

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The invitation email did not arrive">
    Naver invitation emails are sometimes not delivered. In that case, sign in to the GFA advertising account and approve the invitation directly under the integrated advertiser center: open **Settings**, then **Permission management**, then the linked-manager-account section, find the pending Adriel Management entry (the trailing number may vary), and click **Accept**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="There is no Naver sign-in step during setup">
    Naver GFA does not expose a public OAuth API, so there is no per-account sign-in. The only programmatic access model is session-based, and connections are powered by a shared internal Naver account that the GFA ad account grants manager access to. This is the same model Naver GFA uses for human agency partners.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="No data after granting manager access">
    The manager account ID must exactly match the one Adriel provides during setup. With the correct ID, the initial sync can take up to one business day. The internal session is refreshed every two hours; if a refresh was in progress when the sync was queued, it retries on the next cycle.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Ad spend appears higher than in Naver GFA">
    Naver GFA reports spend in two variants: with VAT (10% Korean tax) and without. Both are exposed as separate metrics — `Ad Spend` (without VAT) and `Ad Spend (incl. VAT)`. Confirm the widget references the intended variant.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="EXTERNAL_SERVICE_PERMISSION_MISSING error">
    Manager access on the GFA account has been revoked. Re-add the manager account in the GFA admin and reconnect the data source.
  </Accordion>
