Using the Conversion List for Google Ads with Triggers and Workflows
Follow these steps to use the Conversion List for Google Ads with your Triggers and Workflows:
Step 1: Adding the Conversion action to your Google Ads account
- Within your Google Ads account, navigate to Tools & Settings from the menu.
- Click “Conversions” under the Measurement menu.
- Click “+New Conversion Action” to add.
- In the Older version, Select "Other data sources or CRMs"
- In the New version, select "Track conversions from clicks"
- NOTE: Choose what you want to import and select the right button (Google Analytics UA, Google Analytics 4 properties, third-party app analytics, salesforce, or other). If you wish to track clicks on a page or calls initiated by the user, be sure to choose those options from the selectable choices:
Step 2: Set Up the Goals
- Select "Converted Lead" as the Primary option for the Goal and action optimization section below.
Step 3: Name the Conversion and Select the Value
- Please type in the name of your conversion. In this example, we are calling it "Click".
Note: The conversion name will need to be spelled EXACTLY the same when setting up your Google AdWords action in the Workflow builder (last step).
Once you have completed this step please copy and paste your conversion name somewhere close. This will be used in a workflow trigger in the last step of this guide.
- Select a Value. You can use the same, or different, or don’t use any value.
- Determine the count, either “every” or “one”. We always recommend choosing one.
- Determine the Click-through conversion window.
- Set this to 90 days and set the Attribution Model as “First click”
Step 4: Setting up the Workflow Action
- Within the Workflow, add a step/action for “Add to Google Adwords”
- Select “Other” for Conversion.
- Insert the Conversion name (exactly as named in Step 3 above - for this example, it would be the word “Click”).
- Click Save and Publish to confirm your changes.
NOTE: For the conversion to pass through to Google Ads, the contact record/opportunity must have been created from a URL with a gclid parameter.
Also, it may take approximately 24 hours for the conversion list to populate.
