Sync Details

IDs:
- conv_v – A complex identifier from Convert that tracks session metrics, visitor counts, and participation in experiments for A/B testing and personalization.
Description:
- The sync reads the conv_v value from the site's cookies.
- The value is stored in first-party storage for a configured duration, defaulting to 365 days unless otherwise set in the UI.
- Stored values are refreshed when the cookie updates.
- The identifier is added to server-side event payloads for experiment reporting and user behavior analysis.
Server-side Event Payload:
Upon completion of all vendor's sync, the server-side events will incorporate all resolved identifiers as described above. The following object will be appended to the context.providers property within the event's JSON payload.
```

  "convert": {
    "conv_v": "vi:1*sc:5*cs:1692805037*fs:1690986511*pv:6*exp:{100336255.{v.1003146638-g.{100318265.1}}-100336898.{v.1003148145-g.{100318265.1}}-100337079.{v.1003148611-g.{}}-100337189.{v.1003148886-g.{}}}*ps:1692733076"

Sync Setup Guide

1. Add a Convert Sync in MetaRouter

To gather the conv_v value, you must add a Convert sync.

From the Pipelines page, find the pipeline associated with the web property you’d like to add a sync to. Hover over the three dot dropdown and select “Build AJS File.”
In the Identity Syncs section, select the Convert sync.
Fill out the following field:
1. Cookie Lifetime (in days) – Defines how long the stored conv_v value remains in storage unless renewed. Example: 365
Scroll down and click the Save and Build File button.
Deploy your AJS file to propagate changes to your web property.
