Hi

I'm trying to set one of my accounts' effective conversion tracking id, and i am not able to do so.

I can set the auto-tagging flag, but changing the conversion id makes no difference.

void setConversionTrackingInfo(final Customer customer) {
showConversionTrackingInfo(customer, "before");
customer.setAutoTaggingEnabled(true);
final ConversionTrackingSettings settings = new ConversionTrackingSettings();
settings.setEffectiveConversionTrackingId(globalTrackingId);
settings.setUsesCrossAccountConversionTracking(true);
customer.setConversionTrackingSettings(settings);
try {
final Customer updated = accountCustomerService.mutate(customer);
showConversionTrackingInfo(updated, "updated");
} catch (RemoteException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
    

The show conversion tracker, and the UI show that only the auto tagging changed.

How do I modify the effective conversion tracking id? I tried using the account customer service for this account, and also for the MCC which owns this account. I got USER_PERMISSION_DENIED when I made the call from the MCC account.

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,

Upon checking, it appears that my colleague has already responded to your Google representative in a separate thread regarding your concern. For better tracking, you may reach out to your Google representative to have you included in that thread and continue your discussion from there.

Thanks and regards,
