OfflineConversionError.INVALID_CONVERSION_TYPE error when trying to upload an offline conversion

[Oleg Krivtsov]

I'm trying to upload offline conversions and receive the following error: "OfflineConversionError.INVALID_CONVERSION_TYPE @ operations[0].operand"

I've previously created the import conversion name, so I don't understand why this error arises. Can you help?

Hello Oleg,

Check out these validation rules for importing conversions to see if your conversion falls into one these cases.
