ApplyOfflineConversions Service Operation - Campaign Management

  • Article

Applies offline conversions for the account with Microsoft Click Id among other offline conversion data.

Let's say a customer sees your ad, clicks on it, but ends up calling you, leading to a sale that was taken offline. How can you track when your search ad leads to a conversion offline and outside of your website? You can import offline conversions, to better measure what happens after your ad was clicked.

After creating an OfflineConversionGoal, you'll need to wait two hours before sending Microsoft Advertising any offline conversions. If you do not wait two hours, then your offline conversion data might not be applied. After you send Microsoft Advertising the offline conversions, it can take up to six hours to view conversion data.

Each offline conversion can be split across multiple click IDs. A single click ID can, however, be associated with multiple conversion goals and also be associated with the same goal multiple times, as long as the conversion time is different. Also, the same conversion can't be imported more than once. If more than one is attempted, the first instance will be used and the others will be ignored.

The value of the conversion can be included in the import file along with a custom currency. If no currency is stated, the conversion goal's default will be used.

For more information, see Tracking offline conversions.

A single click ID can, however, be associated with multiple conversion goals and also be associated with the same goal multiple times, as long as the conversion time is different. Also, the same conversion can't be applied more than once. If you send Microsoft Advertising duplicates, the first instance will be used and the others will be ignored.		 OfflineConversion array

Request Header Elements

AuthenticationToken The OAuth access token that represents the credentials of a user who has permissions to Microsoft Advertising accounts.

For more information see Authentication with OAuth.		 string
CustomerAccountId The identifier of the ad account that owns or is associated with the entities in the request.

CustomerId The identifier of the manager account (customer) the user is accessing or operating from. A user can have access to multiple manager accounts. This element is required for most service operations, and as a best practice you should always set it.

The ApplyOfflineConversionsResponse object defines the body and header elements of the service operation response. The elements are returned in the same order as shown in the Response SOAP.

Response Body Elements

Element Description Data Type

Response Header Elements

Element Description Data Type
TrackingId The identifier of the log entry that contains the details of the API call. string
