What's inside

  • Tools › Conversions › Value rules: list every rule, its condition (audience, location, device, loyalty tier since August 2026) and its adjustment
  • Lifecycle goals: new-customer acquisition bonus value
  • Columns: add 'Original conv. value' next to 'Conv. value' (UI since Nov 2025; API metrics.original_conversion_value since v25.1, 19 Aug 2026)
  • Track the gap between the two columns as a metric; bid on adjusted, report on original

Install

  1. Open the value rules page and copy every rule into a sheet with its multiplier or addend.
  2. Add the Original conv. value column to your main campaign view and to any API pull.
  3. Re-state last quarter's ROAS on original value before you show it to finance.
