How we have to take the GCLID?

[Mariano]

Hello, we have the token approved. We want to start using the Api to confirm offline conversions from our server to the Google account. How We Could take the gclid? We cant touch the landing of the client.

Hello Mariano,

You need to either set up redirect to collect this data before forwarding user to the client, or obtain IDs from the click performance report (if you can identify the correct ones).

How can I set up redirect? or where can I get the IDs? We have a Server. We provide the cient with an url of confirmation with our parameters; and we use 2 pixels, One to track clics and another one to track conversions.

How we could take the GCLID with this schema?

Hello Mariano,

You need to enable auto-tagging, this will include the click ID in the destination URLs automatically.

Unfortunately further details are out of scope for this forum, as we only support API related questions here.

Great Danial, and how we could take the GCLID?,  We will enable auto-tagging in the client account. We work with an url that the client has provided us, and we add some parameters to see the id of the client and the idtrx of the campaign in our Server because of the pixels that we sent to the client to count clics and conversions.

How we receive the GCLID? We only have to enable the auto-tagging of the account and automaticly we will receive the GCLID? or we have to add a new parameter in somewhere?

Thanks

Hello Mariano,

Enabling auto-tagging will append GCLID to the destination URLs. You'll need to collect and parse the server logs (on destination server) to extract these parameters.
