To find a conversion window size, we can retrieve a ConversionTracker and check viewthroughLookbackWindow and ctcLookbackWindow values. 
But how to get the maximum conversion window size related to a certain report type with some custom set of fields?

Thanks!

Hi Ilya,

Thanks for reaching out.  Unfortunately, there is no report available to get the maximum conversion window size related in the API. What you can do instead is use the ConversionTypeName segment in the campaign performance report to get metrics for your conversion actions. Then, you can use the  ConversionTrackerServices to get the window size related information with  CtcLookbackWindow and viewthroughLookbackWindow fields.

 I would recommend keeping an eye on our Developer Blog for information on future releases

 Let me know if you have any questions.


Thanks,

Hi Nirmita, thanks for the response.

I've got two more questions about this:
1. You suggest to get tracker types from campaign performance report. Will other reports have data from the same trackers with the same window sizes? In other words, if I'm downloading a report other than campaign performance, can I still use this approach to find maximum conversion window size?
2. Is it possible to find maximum conversion window for a separate field in a report?

Hi Ilya,

Thanks for reaching out. Please find answers to your questions below.

  1. With regards to your concern about downloading a report other than campaign performance, you can use the same approach as I previously mentioned to get the window size related information in the reports. You may refer to all the reports here to get field conversion type.
  2. Unfortunately, there is no field to get the maximum conversion window size related in the report.

I hope this cleared up your confusion. Let me know if you have any additional questions.



Thanks,
