Supply the provider fields
Choose the provider’s Connect action, check these values, and choose Save in test mode. For Google, use Reconnect Google Ads with Data Manager access when the form requires renewed access. Keep provider secrets out of browser code and support messages.
Test the exact configuration
- Use a page with the website script set to the Test environment.
- Grant analytics and marketing consent, then perform one mapped action. Google also requires an actual Google click identifier.
- Choose Check test delivery. It processes eligible events already collected; it does not create a visit or conversion for you.
- Read the returned result using the provider-specific meaning below.
Read a failure honestly
Check consent, environment, mapping, IDs, permissions, and any required click identifier. Queued, Accepted, Awaiting Google, Delivered, Partial, and Failed represent different outcomes; inspect the provider-specific state rather than calling every accepted request a recorded conversion. Changing the configuration requires another successful test. Pause delivery stops forwarding and is separate from pausing website collection. For Meta’s Pixel-specific test, use Test event delivery.Google Ads live forwarding can remain unavailable after validation or saving Live mode. If the status says live delivery is awaiting availability, contact support and confirm it is enabled before relying on conversion delivery. A validation success does not establish that production conversions were sent.
