I am not using enhanced conversions. I'm using OFFLINE CONVERSIONS via API , I'm using clickflare which is a tracking platform, It records gclid, gbraid and wbraid (whichever is present) as the unique ID for each click that comes in, when i get a lead clickflare knows which uniqueID (google clid id) it came from, it then posts it via API. All of my API calls show a 200 response, meaning no error at all
but whne i go into my googl account, only 6 leads came through. 19 failed (I have 25 total). the 19 that failed i try to put into a XLS file and upload manually, and I receive this error: "The imported gclid could not be decoded. Make sure click IDs are correctly formatted." what would cause this issue? I am sending in the gclid/wbraid/graid back to google so i'm not sure why this is happening?
