Hi support Team,
I'm trying to upload offline click conversions, based roughly on [this
snippet](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/samples/upload-offline-conversion).
It's working ok, but I don't know how to set conversion_custom_variable_id,
and conversion_custom_variable_value, so the API is responding this to me
when I leave it blank:
Response: partial_failure_error {
code: 3
message: "This conversion action is configured to use an external
attribution model, but the external attribution credit or one of its fields
is not set., at conversions[0].external_attribution_data"
details {
type_url:
"type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v9.errors.GoogleAdsFailure"
value: "\n\307\001\n\003\370\006\r\022\217\001This conversion action is
configured to use an external attribution model, but the external
attribution credit or one of its fields is not
set.\".\022\017\n\013conversions\030\000\022\033\n\031external_attribution_data"
}
}
>From the management account and conversations with colleagues, I've learned
that for the conversion_action I'm talking to an external model is set up,
probably by the name of "Fractional Credit". If I set that as the
conversion_custom_variable_id, and pass something plausible as a
conversion_custom_variable_value along with it, I get this result:
Response: partial_failure_error {
code: 3
message: "Resource name \'Fractional Credit\' is malformed: expected
\'customers/{customer_id}/conversionCustomVariables/{ConversionCustomVariable.conversion_custom_variable_id}\'.,
at conversions[0].custom_variables[0].conversion_custom_variable"
details {
type_url:
"type.googleapis.com/google.ads.googleads.v9.errors.GoogleAdsFailure"
value: "\n\211\002\n\002\010\004\022\246\001Resource name \'Fractional
Credit\' is malformed: expected
\'customers/{customer_id}/conversionCustomVariables/{ConversionCustomVariable.conversion_custom_variable_id}\'.\032\023*\021Fractional
Credit\"E\022\017\n\013conversions\030\000\022\024\n\020custom_variables\030\000\022\034\n\032conversion_custom_variable"
}
}
Which looks helpful, except that I don't know what
{ConversionCustomVariable.conversion_custom_variable_id}
could resolve to, or where to look it up. I can't find it in my management
console, and when I use the google ads query language to ask my AdsService
for details with "SELECT conversion_custom_variable.id FROM
conversion_custom_variable" it resolves without errors but comes up empty.
I wonder how I can fix my initial ClickConversion client communication, or am
I doing something fundamentally wrong? I'm happy to supply more details,
but didn't want to start off by drowning you in code and logs.
