## What You'll Receive

After saving, Google Ads displays:

* **Conversion ID** — starts with `AW-` followed by 9–10 digits (e.g., `AW-123456789`)
* **Conversion Label** — 11-character alphanumeric string (e.g., `ABc1d2EFG3h`)

Use these values in your Upstack Data destination configuration.

## Verify the Setup

To confirm the goal was created correctly:

* Return to **Goals → Conversions → Summary** in Google Ads — the new **"Purchase - UpstackData"** conversion should appear in the list with a status of **Inactive** (it will become **Active** once it receives data).
* Confirm the **Click-through conversion window** is **30 days** and **Enhanced Conversions** is enabled on the conversion's detail page.

If the conversion is missing, refresh the page and check that you saved the action. If issues persist, contact Upstack Data support.
