Uploading offline conversions

[Karen Han]

Hi there,

I'm trying to upload offline sales numbers into campaign manager by using a custom floodlight variable as the join key. In my case, I am capturing account ID via the u1 variable. I have offline sales data tied to these account IDs. I know that when uploading offline conversions using the CM API, I need to attribute it to one of the following: encryptedUserId, encryptedUserIdCandidates[], dclid, gclid, matchID, mobileDeviceId. If I'm using a custom variable as the join key, which one do I use?  I think my only options are encryptedUserId, encryptedUserIdCandidates[], or matchID. 

If I use encryptedUserId then I need an encryptionEntityId.  Where do I get that from?  Also, how does it match the u-variable in this case? 

If I use matchID then I believe this is something that we have to passback via a floodlight activity but is there a way to avoid this and just use the existing u1 variable?  If we have to use matchID then do we just pass back the same account ID data that we're already doing with u1?  And if so, when we construct the conversion in the script, what value would we use for matchID if the account ID is dynamic?

Hoping that someone can help me in this forum.

Hi there,

Thank you for reaching out to us.

With regard to your concern, it appears that this is more on key values of the conversions specifically to encryptedUserId. With this, we would recommend reaching out to the general support team as they are more equipped in handling this kind of inquiry.
