Track app conversions with third-party app analytics

If you use a third-party app analytics provider to track and measure your mobile app conversions, you can import app conversion data from your provider.

Note: This integration with third-party app analytics providers is replacing the old server-to-server connection which used postback URLs. All Google Ads accounts that have been using the old method to integrate with third-parties will be automatically migrated to the new setup.

This article explains how to import your third-party app conversion data. Newly imported conversion actions will only begin reporting conversions from the time you import the event into Google Ads. This is the case for both Google Ads and your third-party app analytics provider.
