Update Payout/Revenue/Sale amount values of existing conversions
**Please Note: You CANNOT update non-approved conversions.
**The following formats will be accepted for this type of update. However, please note that when you have multiple conversions/events with the same transaction_id, you should use a list of conversion_ids for the update to avoid errors.
**Please Note: When updating existing conversions, EF will only process transaction_id, conversion_id, payout, revenue, and sale_amount columns. Other columns (including date and currency) cannot be updated, and will be ignored.
If you have a list of Conversion IDs, the following columns are required (in the specified order):
conversion_id, payout, revenue, sale_amount
If you have a list of Transaction IDs, the following columns are required (in the specified order):
transaction_id, event_id, payout, revenue, sale_amount
Additional Instructions:
event_id should be "0" if you wish to adjust the Base Conversion
adv_event_id may be used instead of event_id, but must include the Advertiser-level Event ID; never "0"
sale_amount is the amount that is passed back in the conversion or event postback for RPS conversions; this will be "0" if there was no amount required
*IMPORTANT* If we cannot find a conversion for the supplied combo, we will create a new conversion.
Updating Conversion Status
**Please Note: When the status of a conversion is updated from rejected to active (and vice versa), the conversion will change the original payout and revenue associated to the conversion.
**The following formats will be accepted for this type of update. However, please note that when you have multiple conversions/events with the same transaction_id, you should use a list of conversion_ids for the update to avoid errors.
If you have a list of Conversion IDs, the following columns are required (in the specified order):
conversion_id, status
If you have a list of Transaction IDs, the following columns are required (in the specified order):
transaction_id, event_id, status

If you wish to use the offer-level payout & revenue values, then the following columns are required (in the specified order):
transaction_id, event_id, sale_amount
If you wish to specify the payout & revenue values, then the following columns are required (in the specified order):
transaction_id, event_id, payout, revenue, sale_amount
If you wish to apply the timestamp of the click to the added conversion, then the following columns are required (in the specified order):
transaction_id, event_id, payout (optional), revenue (optional), sale_amount, use_click_time (value MUST = "1")
**Please note that the Partner Postback will still have the timestamp of the upload time regardless of utilizing the use_click_time method.
