Re: Updating conversion value of conversions (transactions) imported form Google Analytics
I have a couple of additional question if the scenario that I want in my previous post doesn't work. I'm assuming that if I send conversion (online transaction) from my website into gAds directly with API (not with gTag conversion snippet and not through analytics import), then I'd be able to also update conversion value with OrderIdOfflineConversionAdjustmentFeed object, right? It sounds logical. In that case: 1. I'm wondering which method I should use with API? 2. I'm wondering if/how will gAds know which campaign/ad/keyword it should attribute the conversion to? Is this done automatically or do I need to send any additional params? Thanks On Thursday, November 29, 2018 at 8:26:14 PM UTC+1, Boštjan wrote: > > Hi, thanks for the answer.

Re: Updating conversion value of conversions (transactions) imported form Google Analytics
Hi, thanks for the answer. I've seen these help articles, but they don't answer my questions. Articles explain how to update conversion value with API if* conversion data is sent into gAds directly from the website through conversion tag, present in the HTML code*. I understand that logic. And since I can achieve same result with uploading conversion values with gSheets I'm sure it works fine. What I'm trying to find out (hopefully I'll get quicker answer here instead of setting up my own API tests) is if I can update conversion value with API *if conversion data is sent into gAds from Google Anayltics*. In this case gSheet upload doesn't work. So the only other option is using API, which I'm not sure it works ...

Re: Updating conversion value of conversions (transactions) imported form Google Analytics
Or am I just stuck with simply sending adjusted conversion value already into the GA (as adjusted transaction revenue) ?

Updating conversion value of conversions (transactions) imported form Google Analytics
Hope this is not a copy of another thread - looks like my previous post wasn't sent :( I want to update conversion value of conversion which is set up as Import from GA, where I selected Transactions (not goals): [image: 2018-11-27 11_06_23-Red Orbit Boštjan playground - Google Ads.png] So I have a GA view which tracks transactions. I have gAds account with settings above and which imports GA transactions OK. And I want to update conversion values inside gAds. I was testing few things and at the end tried to update conversion value with gSheet upload, using Order ID (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pRCbG2MFOKzh1hOqt4k3HY8QWpSMDiRkCAaje-ecDY8/edit). It didn't work (errors about conversion name not found in gAds although I was using exactly the same name as in column Conversion action in image above) so I asked our local gAds support team for help. They said that uploading conversion adjustments for conversions that are imported from GA doesn't work. BTW, uploading conversion adjustments for conversions that were set up as Website conversions (sent with JS - gTag inside website's HTML code) works OK. They suggested API method OrderIdOfflineConversionAdjustmentFeed (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/OfflineConversionAdjustmentFeedService.OrderIdOfflineConversionAdjustmentFeed). Since I want to suggest to our client the solution that is verified (they'd have to implement Google Ads API which could take quite a lot of time and money), I have few additional questions that gAds support team wasn't able to answer: 1. Since this method does actually the same as I was trying to do with gSheet upload and since upload didn't work for GA conversions - will this method work *for conversions imported form GA*? 2. If yes, the only parameter that I see appropriate in the specs to match GA transaction (order) and gAds conversion is o*rderID*, where I'd use the value of Transaction ID in GA? 3. If no, is there any other API method that can achieve what I want?

Updating conversion values for transactions imported from Google Analytics
Hi, I'm playing around with adjusting conversion values in gAds. The issue I have is with the conversions (ecommerce transactions) that are imported into gAds directly from GA (type: Import > GA): First a short background of what I'm doing: My scenario (that did not work): 1. Created conversion in gAds of type import (from GA) - to get GA transactions into gAds. Did a purchase on website, transaction is present in GA, transaction is present as conversion also in gAds, with transaction value of 12.34 €. Everything works fine till here. 2. Prepared gSheet with upload data to change conversion value form 12.34 to let's say 333.33. Didn't work, got error that names of conversions (in GA and gAds) aren't the same. BTW, changing value of conversions that are set up in Google Ads as Website conversions (using gTag JS directly in website's HTML) with gSheet upload works just fine. 3. Asked for help our local gAds support team and they've told me that changing conversion value with upload isn't an option if the conversions in gAds are imported form Google Anayltics (which is BTW really strange to me since it's all linked together). 4. The team suggested the only possible solution left (I've tried couple of other hacks to change conversion value but none of them worked as expected): use Google Ads API. They've suggested the method *OrderIdOfflineConversionAdjustmentFeed *(https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201809/OfflineConversionAdjustmentFeedService.OrderIdOfflineConversionAdjustmentFeed), which actually does the same as I've tried with gSheet upload, but it's done with API. Since I want to suggest to our client the solution that really works and since we're talking about API implementation which could take quite a lot of time / money to set it up, I have couple of questions: 1. Since gSheet upload in my scenario doesn't work (not for conversions imported from GA) and since the method OrderIdOfflineConversionAdjustmentFeed does similar thing - will API method in my case work *for gAds conversions imported from GA*? 2. If yes, which parameter is used to send Transaction Id that's used in Google Anayltics? The only suitable parameter I see in the specs is *orderId*. 3. If no, is there any way to achieve this with Google Ads API (any other method) or am I stuck with simply sending adjusted conversion value already into the GA (as adjusted transaction revenue)?
