Hi Wesley,

You have  generated a gclid from a campaign that does not use cross account 
actions. If you meant that the campaign is in another account then it will go 
up against the rule that The ConversionAction has to exist in the effective 
conversion account of the click's Google Ads account. The GCLID is already 
attributed to the account and campaign it was produced from and cannot be 
attributed to another account or campaign.

Product support documentation states that Google Click ID (GCLID) is a 
parameter passed in the URL with ad clicks, to identify the campaign and other 
attributes of the click associated with the ad for ad tracking and campaign 
attribution. It’s required for Google Ads website conversion tracking and also 
used to link data between Google Ads and Google Analytics. It can also be used 
in conjunction with features like offline conversion tracking.

At the time of the click there has to be an enabled conversion action in order 
to receive a conversion that happened later. If the conversion action was 
created later than the click, you will not be able to upload a subsequent 
conversion for that click.

It's up to you to enable cross account conversion tracking on any specific 
account. Without enablement, you can have the account itself have its own 
conversion tracking. Google Analytics is beyond our scope, if they create 
conversion actions that the API can see then possibly you can use that 
conversion action. You may receive support from Google Analytics support. Feel 
free to get back to us.
