Using Set Operator for offlineconversion

[venkat...@gmail.com]

Hi Guru's

We need to update the conversion value of click id's.. We are planning to use the Set operator.  Is it supported with the newer versions of the API?

Greatly appreciate any information in this regard.

Hi Venkat, 

Imported conversions cannot be updated or removed once they're imported. OfflineConversionFeedOperation supports only the ADD operator. SET and REMOVE are not supported. If you want to upload multiple conversions of the same type, for the same click, you can do so using a different combination of GCLID, "ConversionName," date, and time. AdWords will record them as separate conversions as long as they have different times (the GCLIDs and conversion names can be identical).

HI Shwetha

    Is there a way we can add a negative conversion value using ADD operator.  The use case we have is to update the conversion value of an existing gclid as it can sometimes decrease.

Since we cannot use SET operator, we are wondering if we can upload a negative value so that we can get that effect.  I know there is a greater than zero validaiton, is there a setting we can use to override it and upload a negative value?

Thanks

Hi Venkat, 

I'm afraid you cannot upload negative conversions. You'll encounter a RangeError.TOO_LOW error if you use a negative conversionValue. This validation cannot be overridden. If you expect the conversionValue to change over time for a single click, you could consider importing that conversion once you have finalized the value. Please note that the imported conversion should be within click-through conversion lookback window you specified.
