No click ID Enhanced conversions for leads, when there is no GCLID
Not every lead arrives with a click ID. Someone clicks on their phone and fills in the form on a laptop, or a browser strips the URL. Google's answer is enhanced conversions for leads: you send the customer's email or phone, hashed, and Google matches it to the signed-in user who clicked.
DataCops sends both on every upload it can. The click ID when it kept one, and hashed email and phone from the lead either way. Google uses the best match it has. The window is shorter for this kind of match, 63 days, which is one more reason to send each stage as it happens.
What about the Data Manager API?
Google asks new API integrations built since June 2026 to use its Data Manager API. If you built your own upload script, that is news. With DataCops you connect Google Ads with one sign-in and never build against either API.
