Enhancements to conversion adjustment uploads

Beginning on September 9, 2024, Google Adverts API customers will now not want to attend 24 hours earlier than importing conversion changes – they are often uploaded instantly after the unique conversion has been uploaded or recorded by Google tags.

Which means you’ll now not have to preserve monitor of the 24-hour window earlier than importing conversion changes, and may cease checking for sure error codes and retrying these add requests.

Particularly, the next modifications will take impact:

1. The next error codes will now not be returned in responses from the UploadConversionAdjustments methodology, and can now not be seen in diagnostic studies:
2. Conversion changes that will beforehand be rejected with these error codes will depend in direction of the pending_count in diagnostics till they’re processed, at which level they’ll be counted in direction of both the successful_count or failed_count fields. This may take as much as 24 hours.

Right here is how these modifications will have an effect on older Google Adverts API variations v15 and v16:

1. The next error codes will now not be returned in responses from the UploadConversionAdjustments methodology, and can now not be seen in diagnostic studies:
2. Any conversion that will have triggered these codes will, in diagnostic studies, depend in direction of the total_event_count metric whereas being processed. As soon as processing is accomplished they are going to be counted in direction of both the successful_count or failed_count. This may take as much as 24 hours.

What do I have to do?

1. Take away any logic out of your software that waits earlier than importing changes, and start importing conversion changes at any time after the unique conversion has been uploaded.
2. Modify your software logic and enterprise processes so that you’re not monitoring the 2 conversion adjustment errors which are being eliminated.
3. For those who depend on the profitable or failed occasion depend metrics, revisit your software logic with the understanding that some uploaded occasions might, at occasions, when utilizing v17, be represented as pending.
