Hi Google Support, Our organisation is sending Conversion Events to Google Ads via API.
The Ad Links we get usually have GCLID, and we are able to submit leads just fine with it. We're using Google Ads Click Conversion Upload via the Google Ads API's ConversionUploadService <https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/reference/rpc/v18/ConversionUploadService> . Google Ads API Used: *v18* Client Library for Python: *25.1.0* But when our Ad Link uses GBRAID and WBRAID instead of GCLID, it starts to breakdown and we get this error: *The imported gclid could not be decoded. Make sure you use the correct gclid format.* Here is the sample request from our conversion posting: REQUEST BODY : {'Email': '<REDACTED>', 'GCLID': 'CloKCQjwhO3DBhDaARJJAPBAqMkr8sEh4288Ywh9gyDZB0xJUrpX6PQXLLEQ-JO78EYYPhMkH7ak_JwODTx71PgTCYtgDAnq-U_c_ASeDxoKrZDg4LXfRhoC0ag', 'Phone': '<REDACTED>', 'Value': '1', 'Currency': 'AUD', 'Transaction ID': '<REDACTED>', 'User Data Consent': 'GRANTED', 'Conversion Action ID': '<REDACTED>', 'Conversion Timestamp': '2025-07-20 14:01:17.794138+00:00', 'Conversion Event Name': '<CustomEvent>'} Here are some of the sample click IDs we have from GBRAID and WBRAID: *wbraid* - CloKCQjwhO3DBhDaARJJAPBAqMlaRpvgdISi3k4eyz5tiNqGx-gqt11WqEu6qirFKkJqa6sI98C1sUmOZk645pIXflOBMDsGewuCkqUyEAWH-rnvH6MrzRoCDMM - ClgKCQjwhO3DBhDaARJHAPBAqMmEZWE7Gtf3zJEtBsgL1iUfOHH6Src4ULBZIqGkQzIwFDgYvcPddXpQtN3nu0g_a16VXGyrUwz_pxwQ0lF1s32sK68aAm3V *gbraid* - 0AAAAACZGY6vERiXMMTJYoB2VG86-qHLmR - 0AAAAACW-6PqSTO6bY4THMtP02NJJs-7nq How can we post conversions when it only has GBRAID/WBRAID?
