Bulk uploads for offline conversions stopped working

[Gabor Kovacs]

Hi,

I created a simple Ads Script last week that records offline conversions via bulk uploads. The data source was a spreadsheet. I successfully created a number of upload previews with the script until I was confident the it works fine. The previews contained expected errors due to the fact that I was not using valid GCLIDs in the spreadsheet, but at that stage my goal was to simply verify that the uploads do get created.

The problem is, when I came back to this script today I found that it is no longer creating uploads. Neither upload.preview() nor upload.apply() works. The script finishes successfully, but when I go to Tools > Bulk Actions > Uploads, there are no new uploads at all. Naturally, I did check that my date range is set to "All time".

I also tried to strip my script down to the simplest version possible to make sure it is not something in my code that I overlooked (although I knew it already worked last week):

function main() {
 
  var columns = [
    "Google Click Id", "Conversion Name", "Conversion Time", "Conversion Value", "Conversion Currency"
  ];

  var upload = AdsApp.bulkUploads().newCsvUpload(columns, { timeZone: "0100" });

  upload.append({
    "Google Click Id": "12345678910",
    "Conversion Name": "Test conversion",
    "Conversion Time": "08/05/2019 12:00:00",
    "Conversion Value": 1,
    "Conversion Currency": "USD"
  });
  
  upload.forOfflineConversions();
  upload.preview();

}

Again, the issue is NOT that this throws back any errors. But rather, that the upload preview is never created in the first place. 

I tried it on at least 3 accounts in different MCCs with the same result.

I also tried a manual upload in the Ads interface via the official template, and that resulted in the "No header row was found for this spreadsheet" error.

I wonder if it could be a new issue on Google's end?

Uploads for campaign management (campaigns, ad groups, ads, etc.) still work fine, both via scripts and manually.

Thanks,

Gabor

Just to follow up on this, it would be nice if someone could confirm that bulk uploads for offline conversions (via scripts) work at the moment.
