Offline conversions error

[Maor]

Hi,

We are trying to upload gclid using the 'OfflineConversionFeedbackService' and we are getting an error 'too_recent_click'.

This doc says that you need to wait 24 hours before uploading it again: https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201710/OfflineConversionFeedService

1. Does it this also your best practice for uploading new gclids? waiting 24 hours before uploading them?

2. If I try to upload a gclid, one hour after the conversion happend, will i get the same error or should it work?

Thank you very much

Hi Maor, 

Unfortunately, you will have to wait for 24 hours before trying to upload any new conversion. TOO_RECENT_CLICK error is experienced when the click is too recent to be uploaded. It takes up to 3 hours for the imported conversion statistics to appear in the AdWords accounts for last-click attribution and for other search attribution models, it can take longer than three hours. 

As for your second concern, it is recommended that you wait for 24 hours to upload the clicks or rather upload clicks that occurred more than 24 hours ago. If the clicks are too recent and cannot be found in the system, you may encounter this error. You may refer to our guide as an additional reference.
