Hi,

I'm using the Google Ads API v3 to track offline (click) conversions using the following endpoint:

https://googleads.googleapis.com/v3/customers/{customer_id}:UploadClickConversions

And so far I don't see any conversions showing up in the conversions page of Google Ads dashboard as showing below (has been running since yesterday):

Even though Google Cloud Platform dashboard shows that thousands of requests have been received (with a small amount of errors, mostly with 429 status code) as shown below:

(purple is 200, red is 429)

Any pointers on the delay? And why the conversions are not being recorded?

Best,

Ahmed

Hi Ahmed,

Thank you for reaching out. As explained here, it can take up to 3 hours for the conversions to show in your account for last-click attribution (or more time for other attribution models). Additionally, please be advised that conversions show up in Google Ads on the impression date of the initial click, not the conversion date or the upload date. If this doesn't solve the issue, please share your client customer ID, the un-masked screenshot, and some examples of GCLIDs and their impression dates via Reply privately to author so I can further investigate the issue.

Regards,
Mitchell
