A call extension is a phone number that appears on your *ads*, while the call tracking feature you mentioned is for tracking calls to a phone number displayed on your *website*. Therefore, adding a call extension will not automatically create a *WebsiteCallMetricsConversion*. You will need to do that via a call to ConversionTrackerService.mutate <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201509/ConversionTrackerService#mutate> where you pass an *ADD* operation containing a WebsiteCallMetricsConversion <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201509/ConversionTrackerService.WebsiteCallMetricsConversion> . > > 2.
