    ๐Ÿ› Troubleshooting

    Common Issues

    #### Authentication Errors

  • Verify developer token is approved and active
  • Check OAuth2 credentials are correctly configured
  • Ensure customer ID format is correct (123-456-7890)
  • For MCC: Verify manager account has access to selected managed account
  • #### Validation Errors

  • Verify all required fields are provided
  • Check date format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS+TZ or use {{$now}}
  • For enhanced conversions, provide at least one user identifier
  • For MCC: Ensure managed account is selected when using manager account type
  • #### Rate Limiting

  • Enable batch processing for high volumes
  • Node automatically handles retries with exponential backoff
  • Monitor Google Ads API quotas
  • Debug Information

    Enable debug mode to see:

  • Request payloads and headers
  • Response data and status codes
  • Retry attempts and delays
  • Error details with stack traces
