• Add the logic for the condition by editing the If/Else node. These conditions will determine the target audience for the automation.
•  Now add the ‘Google offline Conversion’ node.
• Click on ‘Edit’ through the gear button on the node and a dialog box with the edit settings will open.
• In the ‘Edit Offline Conversion’ page, you have the flexibility to specify key fields according to their needs. These fields typically include:
• Block Name : Enter the name in the block, that is easy to remember, for future references and identifying the node.
• Ad Network : This is automatically configured as Google offline Conversion Connector.
• Ad account : Clients can associate conversion nodes with specific Google Ad accounts.
• Conversion Action : The drop-down provides a list of conversion actions which are already created in your Google Ad account, the account that you have selected in the ‘Ad Account’ field.
• You can also create a new conversion action by clicking on ‘Create’ against the ‘Conversion Action’ field.
  Making a new ConversionAction involves setting the Conversion action parameters-
  Conversion Category: The conversion category categorizes the type of action being tracked. Google Ads provides predefined categories such as purchase, lead, sign-up, or custom categories tailored to specific business objectives.
  Conversion Value (if applicable):
  Conversion value represents the monetary worth or value assigned to each conversion. It indicates the revenue generated or the value derived from the tracked action.
  
  
  
  

  Note : Only the leads/applications that have GCLIDs are catered in this. Also, if you have created a new conversion action list then you’ll be able to push data only after 6 hours as Google allows to push the data after 6 hours.
