ApplyOfflineConversions Service Operation - Campaign Management

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.

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.

string
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.

For more information see Get Your Account and Customer IDs.
string
DeveloperToken The developer token used to access the Bing Ads API.

For more information see Get a Developer Token.
string
Password This element is reserved for internal use and will be removed from a future version of the API. You must use the AuthenticationToken element to set user credentials. string

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
PartialErrors An array of BatchError objects that contain details for any request items that were not successful.

The list of errors do not correspond directly to the list of items in the request. The list can be empty if there were no errors, or can include one or more error objects corresponding to each unsuccessful list item in the request.
