What is the difference (and possible values) for these two? I have been looking at conversion types as described here (that looks to be represented by AppConversionAppConversionType) and at segments.conversion_action_name in geographic_view.

Where is comprehensive information about how to use those two?

Hi Gregory,

Thanks for posting your concern.

To answer your question, the conversion_action_name and ConversionTypeName has the same functionality and can be used to return Conversion action name in Conversion actions UI (TOOLS & SETTINGS > MEASUREMENTS > Conversions > Conversion actions). The difference between the two is the conversion_action_name can only be included when using Google Ads API reporting while ConversionTypeName can only be included when using AdWords API reporting.

Let me know if you have further questions.
