Hi Perry,

Let me check with the team if we have available descriptions for the predicate values in ExternalConversionSource field segment. We'll get back to you as soon as available.

Thanks and regards,

Hi Perry,

Just to update you here. Upon checking with the team, I'm afraid we don't have the exact description for all the predicate values for ExternalConversionSource field segment. Those values can sometimes belong to conversion sources that are not supported by API directly (they may be returned by reporting but they can't be created, for instance). However, most of the API supported conversion sources are mentioned or explained in this guide already. So you can find more information on that guide.

For others that are not supported and not mentioned in our guide, asking in the Google Ads Community Forum would be more effective.

Regards,
Luis
