Enable Enhanced Conversion for Conversion Actions via API

[Tim J]

Hi,

I'm looking for an API operation to enable enhanced conversions on any given conversion action

In the Google Ads UI I would enable enhanced conversions with this checkbox:

My question: How can I do the same thing in the API? 

I'm not seeing anything about enabling enhanced conversions in this doc?

Hi Tim,

Thanks for reaching out to Google Ads API Support.

With regards to enhanced conversions, you may refer to the Enhanced Conversions documentation. A conversion in Google Ads is when a user performs some specified action after clicking an ad or viewing a Display Network ad, such as purchasing a product, installing a mobile app, or signing up for an email list. You must enable conversion tracking in order to record conversions. You may refer to our Enabling conversion tracking documentation for more information.

However, if this is not what you are looking for, then can you provide more context about your issue / concern so that we can provide guidance accurately?

Really?

I already made my question very clear - I want to enable enhanced conversions on a specific conversion action - via a API
Your docs only talk about doing this in the UI - I need to do this through the API

Hi Tim,

Thank you for the reply.

Kindly note that the documentation we did provide from the previous email is from the Google Ads API perspective; if you are referring to this, "you must complete the setup and configuration steps in that account, including confirming that you have accepted the customer data terms. You can confirm this using the Google Ads UI", but if you'd prefer to use the Google Ads API, you may retrieve the conversion_tracking_setting from the account that manages conversion actions using the searchStream or search method of GoogleAdsService and the following query:

SELECT customer.id, customer.conversion_tracking_setting.accepted_customer_data_terms FROM customer

Then verify that accepted_customer_data_terms is true.

You may also check this article for more information on setting up enhanced conversions with the Google Ads API.

You didn't even read my question...or are you just avoiding it. Should I just assume that it is impossible to enable enhanced conversions via a API or client library?

Hi Tim,

Thanks for getting back with us.

As per this guide in Google Ads API about Enhanced Conversions, this setup and configuration steps is a prerequisite before using Enhanced Conversions. You may refer to that guide to know more information about Enhanced Conversions in the Google Ads API.

However, I’ve created a feature request for this to be supported in Google Ads API. For now, you may monitor our blog for an update when it will be supported in the future.

Hi Team,

Following up on this, do we have any way to enable enhanced conversions option using the api flow? thanks

Greetings from the Google Ads API Support team.

Please note that there is no definite timeline that we can provide on when this feature will be available in the API. However, when the feature is available via the Google Ads API, it'll surely be covered in our release notes. Please stay tuned.
