[Enhanced conversions](https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/11062876){:target="_blank"} is a feature that can improve the accuracy of your conversion measurement and unlock more powerful bidding. It supplements your existing conversion tags by sending hashed, first-party conversion data from your website to Google in a privacy safe way. You can use the "Upload Conversion Adjustment" action to send enhancements to the Google Ads API. In order to send enhanced conversions, you must record first conversions using the standard Google Ads Conversion tag (Gtag). Segment offers a [Google Ads (Gtag) destination](/docs/connections/destinations/catalog/google-ads-gtag/) so you can use your existing Segment implementation to activate Gtag. Enhancements can be sent to web conversion actions that have **Turn on enhanced conversions** by API enabled.

[Enhanced conversions for leads](https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/docs/conversions/upload-identifiers){:target="_blank"} allows you to use hashed, first-party user-provided data from your website lead forms for offline lead measurement. When you upload your leads, the provided hashed information is used to attribute back to the Google Ad campaign. In order to send enhanced conversions for leads, you can use the "Upload Click Conversion" action. Instead of sending GCLID, send an email address or phone number of the user for Segment to hash and send to Google Ads.

### Refreshing Access Tokens

### Refreshing access tokens
5459

5560
When you use OAuth to authenticate into the Google Ads Conversions destination, Segment stores an access token and refresh token. Access tokens for Google Ads Conversions expire after one hour. Once expired, Segment receives an error and then uses the refresh token to fetch a new access token. This results in two API requests to Google Ads Conversions, one failure and one success.
5661

5762
Because of the duplicate API requests, you may see a warning in Google for unprocessed conversions due to incorrect or missing OAuth credentials. This warning is expected and does not indicate data loss. Google has confirmed that conversions are being processed, and OAuth retry behavior will not cause any issues for your web conversions. Whenever possible, Segment caches access tokens to reduce the total number of requests made to Google Ads Conversions.

### Sending App Conversions for Incrementality Studies (Legacy Enhanced Conversions API only)

### Sending app conversions for incrementality studies (legacy enhanced conversions API only)
6065

6166
The legacy Enhanced Conversions API does not offer standard reporting for app conversions. As such, Google requires that you set up a new web conversion action specifically for the purposes of app incrementality studies. To send app conversions in your incrementality study, use the "Upload Enhanced Conversion (Legacy)" action. Be sure to input the Conversion Label associated with your incrementality study **and** set the App Conversion for Incrementality Study field to `true`. You should create separate web conversion actions in Google Ads for each app event you want to send data for.
