Thank you for your response,

Please note there is no 9th step on the documentation of the page you 
shared in the link above. 

I have already completed steps 1-5 to generate and access token and wanted 
to address the concern of the cumbersome process of generating an access 
token for Google Ads. The documentation shared in my previous message 
references the steps of creating auth tokens for other conversion API's.

For most Conversion API's, the auth token generation is simple, or 
automatically available to manager or owner role users on their business 
platforms.

Generating an auth token for Google ads not only requires  completion of 
steps 1-5 but also the preemptive steps of creating a console project, 
retrieving or generating a dev token, and generating the code parameter. 
This process is inflated in comparison to other events API's.

Does Google Ads have plans in the future to simplify this process?
