  1. Choose Track event on inline action under When do you want to track this event?. Ignore the code generated below and click Save and next.

  2. You are done. Your conversion goal should populate with conversions from the Bing Ads Destination.

Repeat the steps above for all the conversion goals you want to report on in Bing Ads
Once you have installed your Converge Destination, you should pause or remove all existing Bing Ads tracking. Leaving these on will lead to duplicate tracking.

Bing Ads requires implementing consent mode. In EEA, conversions may be ignored if consent is not explicitly granted.

You should configure consent mode through your cookie banner, or instrument it manually according to the documentation.

The Converge destination will automatically pick up on the configured consent configuration.

The Converge Bing Ads Connection will use the Default content mode to define the Content ID forwarded by default. However, you can configure the connection to use explicity the Product ID, the Variant ID or SKU instead.

  1. Navigate to your Microsoft Ads (Bing Ads) Destination, click on Configuration.
  2. Click on the Configuration-subtab
  3. Open the Advanced configuration (optional) section
  4. Pick your desired Content ID, and click on Save
