Data Manager API Retry Queue for WordPress CRM Conversions
When a WordPress CRM conversion upload fails, the event needs a controlled retry path. Blind retries can duplicate conversions, while no retries can erase qualified leads from Google Ads reporting.
Use this when WordPress leads are uploaded to Google Ads after a CRM stage change, sales qualification, booking, or offline purchase event.
Quick answer
Data Manager API Retry Queue for WordPress CRM Conversions should be handled with a narrow evidence-first workflow: create stable event id, classify errors, retry safely, then verify the result before making broader changes.
What to check first
- Assign a stable event ID before the first upload attempt.
- Store upload status, error code, retry count, next retry time, and final outcome.
- Deduplicate by lead ID, conversion action, conversion time, and event ID.
- Separate temporary API failures from permanent data quality failures.
- Show rejected events to the marketing team instead of hiding them in server logs.
Diagnostic table
Use this table to keep the work practical. It connects the symptom to evidence and a verification step.
| Action | Evidence to collect | How to verify |
|---|---|---|
| Create stable event ID | Assign a stable event ID before the first upload attempt. | A repeated retry does not create a second conversion for the same event. |
| Classify errors | Store upload status, error code, retry count, next retry time, and final outcome. | Permanent errors are fixed in data mapping, not retried forever. |
| Retry safely | Deduplicate by lead ID, conversion action, conversion time, and event ID. | Retry records avoid raw personal data unless strictly needed. |
| Deduplicate uploads | Separate temporary API failures from permanent data quality failures. | Google Ads diagnostics are checked after the retry queue runs. |
Useful command or data shape
Adapt paths, IDs, and privacy handling to the site before running commands or storing data on production.
conversion_event:
event_id: lead-14592-qualified
lead_id: 14592
conversion_action: qualified_lead
status: retry_wait
retry_count: 2
last_error: TEMPORARY_UNAVAILABLE
next_retry_at: 2026-06-20T14:30:00Z
Safe fix order
Do the work in a sequence that makes each result easy to prove. Stop if a step produces new evidence that changes the incident scope.
- Create stable event ID
- Classify errors
- Retry safely
- Deduplicate uploads
- Report rejected events
Production verification checklist
- A repeated retry does not create a second conversion for the same event.
- Permanent errors are fixed in data mapping, not retried forever.
- Retry records avoid raw personal data unless strictly needed.
- Google Ads diagnostics are checked after the retry queue runs.
Mistakes to avoid
- Do not judge the fix by one browser or the homepage only.
- Do not delete evidence before recording usernames, file paths, timestamps, and response headers.
- Do not add a cache, security, or tracking plugin while the original problem is still unclear.
- Do not leave test users, temporary debug logs, or broad API keys active after verification.
