error concerning 24 hours delay after posting

[Toby Gran]

Dear Google Support Representative,

Thank you for your help.  We were able to connect to Adwords.

However, subsequently we experienced another error.

When our developer tried to add offline conversion to our adwords he received the following error

{"[OfflineConversionError.TOO_RECENT_CLICK @ operations[0].operand]"}

It seems that according to Adwords guidelines, it means that we try to post offline conversion too fast.

In other words, Adwords interface guidelines require us to post it after 24 hours.  

This seems like a strange requirement.  Maybe we didn't understand it correctly.  

It was my impression that posting could be done immediately.  It's only reporting lags 3 hours behind.

Any advise would be greatly appreciated,

Thank you

Hello Toby,

It can be a few hours delay between an actual click and all related data to be populated for all internal systems. We recommend 24 hours to make sure all such processes are finished.

Is there any possibility to push a conversions trough the API without waiting such a long time? (Doesn't needs to be a offline conversion) We would like to push it as soon as possible after the conversion has been done.

Hi Karl,

You could consider setting up conversion tracking on your website. If this is not an option, you have to wait the required amount of time for the information to propagate in the system when you import conversions. Once the UploadConversion object is created, it is recommended that you wait 6 hrs before you upload the conversions.
