Increased flexibility for Google Ads API conversion imports

Tuesday, July 22, 2025

Starting on October 3, 2025, you will be able to set both the gclid and gbraid fields on your ClickConversion messages when importing them to the Google Ads API, by using the UploadClickConversions method.

Previously, setting both of these fields resulted in the following partial failure error:

• error_code: FieldError​.VALUE_MUST_BE_UNSET
• location.field_path_elements.field.field_name: gclid

Once this change is released, this error will no longer be returned. Instead you will see successful import responses.
