You can use the Google Ads API to upload offline click conversions into Google Ads in order to track ads that led to sales in the offline world, such as over the phone or through a sales rep.
Setup
There are a few prerequisites to a working offline conversions setup. Make sure all of the prerequisites are satisfied before proceeding to implementation:
Enable conversion tracking in your Google Ads conversion customer.
Configure tagging and store click IDs.
1. Enable conversion tracking in your Google Ads conversion customer
If you completed the conversions getting started guide and have conversion tracking enabled you can skip to step two: configure tagging.
Retrieve information about your conversion tracking setup
You can check your account's conversion tracking setup and confirm conversion
tracking is enabled by querying the Customer
resource
for the ConversionTrackingSetting
.
Issue the following query with
GoogleAdsService.SearchStream
:
SELECT
customer.conversion_tracking_setting.google_ads_conversion_customer,
customer.conversion_tracking_setting.conversion_tracking_status,
customer.conversion_tracking_setting.conversion_tracking_id,
customer.conversion_tracking_setting.cross_account_conversion_tracking_id
FROM customer
The google_ads_conversion_customer
field indicates the Google Ads account that
creates and manages conversions for this customer. For customers using
cross-account conversion tracking,
this is the ID of a manager account. The Google Ads conversion customer ID should be
given as the customer_id
in Google Ads API requests to create and manage conversions.
Note that this field is populated even if conversion tracking is not enabled.
The
conversion_tracking_status
field indicates whether conversion tracking is enabled and whether the account
is using cross-account conversion tracking.
Create a conversion action under the Google Ads conversion customer
If the conversion_tracking_status
value is NOT_CONVERSION_TRACKED
,
conversion tracking is not enabled for the account. Enable conversion tracking
by creating at least one ConversionAction
in
the Google Ads conversion account, like in the following example. Alternatively, you
can create a conversion action in the UI by following the instructions in the
Help Center for the
conversion type you want to enable.
Note that enhanced conversions are enabled automatically when sent through the Google Ads API, but they can be disabled through the Google Ads UI.
Code example

Make sure the conversion_action_type
is set to the correct
ConversionActionType
value.
For more guidance on creating conversion actions in the Google Ads API, see Create Conversion Actions.
Retrieve an existing conversion action
You can retrieve details for an existing conversion action by issuing the
following query. Make sure the customer ID in the request is set to the Google Ads
conversion customer you identified above, and the conversion action type is set
to the correct
ConversionActionType
value.
SELECT
conversion_action.resource_name,
conversion_action.name,
conversion_action.status
FROM conversion_action
WHERE conversion_action.type = 'INSERT_CONVERSION_ACTION_TYPE'
2. Configure tagging and store click IDs
Follow the instructions to confirm autotagging is enabled and set up your Google Ads account, website, and lead-tracking system to capture and store the GCLID, GBRAID, or WBRAID of each impression and click for your ads. Autotagging is turned on by default for new accounts.
Construct the request
Follow the guidance below to construct your
UploadClickConversionsRequest
and set its fields to appropriate values.
customer_id
Identifies the Google Ads account of your upload. Set this to the Google Ads conversion customer of the account that is the source of the clicks.
job_id
Provides a mechanism for associating your upload requests with the per-job information in offline data diagnostics.
If you don't set this field, the Google Ads API assigns each request a unique value in the range of
[2^31, 2^63)
. If you would prefer to group multiple requests into a single logical job, set this field to the same value in the range[0, 2^31)
on every request in your job.The
job_id
in the response contains the job ID for the request, regardless of whether you specified a value or let the Google Ads API assign a value.partial_failure_enabled
Determines how the Google Ads API handles errors from operations.
This field must be set to
true
. Follow the partial failures guidelines when processing the response.debug_enabled
Determines error-reporting behavior for enhanced conversions for leads uploads. The Google Ads API ignores this field when handling uploads for click conversions using
gclid
,gbraid
, orwbraid
.
Create click conversion operations
The collection of ClickConversion
objects in
your UploadClickConversionRequest
defines the set of conversions you want to
upload. Follow the guidance below to construct each ClickConversion
and set
its fields to appropriate values.
Set the required fields of each conversion operation
Follow the instructions below to set the required fields of ClickConversion
to appropriate values.
gclid
,gbraid
,wbraid
- The identifier you captured at the time of the click for the conversion's click or impression. Only set one of these fields.
conversion_date_time
The date and time of the conversion.
The value must have a timezone specified, and the format must be
yyyy-mm-dd HH:mm:ss+|-HH:mm
, for example:2022-01-01 19:32:45-05:00
(ignoring daylight saving time) .The timezone can be for any valid value: it does not have to match the account's timezone. However, if you plan on comparing your uploaded conversion data with those in the Google Ads UI, we recommend using the same timezone as your Google Ads account so that the conversion counts match. You can find more details and examples in the Help Center and check the Codes and formats for a list of valid timezone IDs.
user_identifiers
Don't set this field when uploading conversions using only click IDs. If this field is set, Google Ads treats the upload operation as an upload for enhanced conversions for leads.
conversion_action
The resource name of the
ConversionAction
for the click conversion.The conversion action must have a
type
ofUPLOAD_CLICKS
, and must exist in the Google Ads conversion customer of the Google Ads account associated with the click.conversion_value
The value of the conversion.
currency_code
The currency code of the
conversion_value
.
Set optional fields of each conversion operation
Review the list of optional fields below and set them on your ClickConversion
as needed.
order_id
- The transaction ID for the conversion. This field is optional but strongly recommended. If you set it during the upload, you must use it for any adjustments made to the conversion.
external_attribution_data
If you use third-party tools or homegrown solutions to track conversions, then you may want to give Google Ads only part of the credit for the conversion, or you may want to distribute the credit for a conversion across multiple clicks. Externally attributed conversion imports allow you to upload conversions with fractional credit assigned to each click.
To upload fractional credits, set this field to an
ExternalAttributionData
object with values forexternal_attribution_model
andexternal_attribution_credit
.custom_variables
The values for custom conversion variables.
Google Ads does not support custom conversion variables in combination with
wbraid
orgbraid
.cart_data
You can include shopping cart information for a
ClickConversion
in thecart_data
field, which consists of the following attributes:merchant_id
: The ID of the associated Merchant Center account.feed_country_code
: The ISO 3166 two-character region code of the Merchant Center feed.feed_language_code
: The ISO 639-1 language code of the Merchant Center feed.local_transaction_cost
: The sum of all transaction-level discounts, in thecurrency_code
of theClickConversion
.items
: The items in the shopping cart.
Each item in
items
consists of the following attributes:product_id
: The ID of the product, sometimes referred to as the offer ID or item ID.quantity
: The quantity of the item.unit_price
: The unit price of the item.
conversion_environment
Indicates the environment where this conversion was recorded. For example, App or Web.

Troubleshoot
Offline data diagnostics provide a
single resource for reviewing the overall health of your uploads on an ongoing
basis. However, during implementation you can use the information in this
section to investigate any errors reported in the
partial_failure_error
field of the response.
Some of the most common errors when uploading conversion actions are
authorization errors, such as USER_PERMISSION_DENIED
. Double check that you
have the customer ID in your request set to the Google Ads conversion customer
which owns the conversion action. Visit our
authorization guide for more details and see our
common errors guide for tips on how
to debug these different errors.
Debug common errors
Error | |
---|---|
ConversionUploadError.INVALID_CONVERSION_ACTION_TYPE
|
The specified conversion action has a type that is not valid for uploading
click conversions. Make sure the ConversionAction specified in
your upload request has type UPLOAD_CLICKS .
|
ConversionUploadError.NO_CONVERSION_ACTION_FOUND
|
The specified conversion action is either not enabled or cannot be found
within the uploading customer_id . Make sure the conversion action
in your upload is enabled and is owned by the customer_id of the
upload request.
|
ConversionUploadError.TOO_RECENT_CONVERSION_ACTION
|
The conversion action is newly created. Wait at least 6 hours after the action is created before retrying the failed conversions. |
ConversionUploadError.INVALID_CUSTOMER_FOR_CLICK
|
The customer_id of the request is not the same customer ID
that was the Google Ads API conversion account
at the time of the click. Update the customer_id of
the request to the correct customer.
|
ConversionUploadError.EVENT_NOT_FOUND
|
Google Ads cannot find the combination of click ID and
customer_id . Review the requirements for customer_id and
confirm you are uploading using the correct Google Ads account.
|
ConversionUploadError.DUPLICATE_CLICK_CONVERSION_IN_REQUEST
|
Multiple conversions in the request have the same combination of click ID, conversion_date_time
and conversion_action . Remove duplicate conversions from your
request.
|
ConversionUploadError.CLICK_CONVERSION_ALREADY_EXISTS
|
A conversion with the same combination of click ID,
conversion_date_time , and conversion_action was
previously uploaded. Ignore this error if you were retrying the upload and this
conversion previously succeeded. If you want to add another conversion in
addition to the previously uploaded conversion, adjust the
conversion_date_time of the ClickConversion to avoid
duplicating the previously uploaded conversion.
|
ConversionUploadError.EVENT_NOT_FOUND
|
Google Ads cannot find the combination of click ID and
customer_id . Review the requirements for customer_id and
confirm you are uploading using the correct Google Ads account.
|
ConversionUploadError.EXPIRED_EVENT
|
The imported click occurred before the timeframe specified in the
click_through_lookback_window_days field. A
change to the click_through_lookback_window_days only impacts clicks
recorded after the change, so changing the lookback window wouldn't
resolve this error for the particular click. If appropriate, change the
conversion_action to another action with a longer lookback
window. |
ConversionUploadError.CONVERSION_PRECEDES_EVENT
|
The conversion_date_time is before the date and time of the
click. Update the conversion_date_time to a later value.
|
ConversionUploadError.GBRAID_WBRAID_BOTH_SET
|
The ClickConversion has a value set for both
gbraid and wbraid . Update the conversion to use only
one click ID, and make sure you are not combining multiple clicks into the same
conversion. Each click has only one click ID.
|
FieldError.VALUE_MUST_BE_UNSET
|
Check the location of the
GoogleAdsError to determine which of the following issues led to
the error.
|
Conversions in reports
Uploaded conversions are reflected in reports for the impression date of the
original click, not the date of the upload request or the date of the
conversion_date_time
of the
ClickConversion
.
It takes up to 3 hours for imported conversion statistics to appear in your Google Ads account for last-click attribution. For other search attribution models, it can take longer than 3 hours. Consult the data freshness guide for more information.
