Conversion Tracking via Other Methods
To import offline conversions into the Perform Media reporting interface, please follow the steps below.
Prerequisites
Prior to ingesting the 1st file for an advertiser, complete the following:
Work with your Partner Manager to define the subject line and email address associated with the report. Our system recognizes the Account using the senders email address and the subject line. This is a one time process.
Share the list of columns included in the file with your Partner Manager.
Confirm with your Partner Manager if the ClickID is passed in the URL for advertiser logging.
Create a Conversion Ingestion File
The conversion ingestion file is “Comma delimited” csv file with columns as defined below (See Sample File).
note
The column headers are Case Sensitive.
| Parameter | Mandatory? | Data Type | Details |
