Obtaining the Google Click ID (GCLID) for call extension calls

Introduction

Delacon can upload call conversions from call extensions calls directly into Adwords and SA360 via our native integrations.

For alternative conversion matching methods, the GCLID for calls from call extension can be obtained via our Request API. 

Limitations

GCLID information for phone calls is extracted from Adwords with a 1 day delay and will therefore only be available up to 36 hours after the phone call.

Setup

Step 1

Follow the steps of this guide to build the request URL for the API.

Step 2

Ensure to add the URL parameter "showadwordsinformation=1", which will trigger GCLID information for the call extension calls, if available.

Below is an example of a basic request URL that creates a report in csv format, and includes GCLID information for all calls to a specific service ID.

Step 3

Send the request and wait for the return report.
