# dbt_pinterest v0.11.0
[PR #34](https://github.com/fivetran/dbt_pinterest/pull/34) includes the following **BREAKING CHANGE** updates:

## Feature Updates: Native Conversion Support
- We have added the following conversion metrics to each `pinterest_ads` end model:
- `total_conversions`: The sum of all website conversion events.
- `total_conversions_quantity`: The total count of items or units involved in conversions.
- `total_conversions_value` (converted from `total_conversions_value_in_micro_dollar`) Total order value associated with conversions.
- In the event that you were already passing the above fields in via our [passthrough columns](https://github.com/fivetran/dbt_pinterest/blob/main/README.md#passing-through-additional-metrics), the package will dynamically avoid "duplicate column" errors.

> The above new field additions are **breaking changes** for users who were not already bringing in conversion fields via passthrough columns.
## Documentation
- Added more information about the difference in grains and their relationships in the [DECISIONLOG](https://github.com/fivetran/dbt_pinterest/blob/main/DECISIONLOG.md#pinterest-ads-grains).

## Under the hood
- Created `pinterest_ads_persist_pass_through_columns` macro to ensure that the new conversion fields are backwards compatible with users who have already included them via passthrough fields.
- Added integrity and consistency validation tests within `integration_tests` folder for the transformation models (to be used by maintainers only).
- Updated seed data to represent an e-commerce customer scenario.
- Coalesces `spend` with 0 to ensure proper downstream aggregations.

## UTM Report Filtering
This package contains a `pinterest_ads__url_report` which provides daily metrics for your utm compatible ads. It is important to note that not all Ads within Pinterest's `pin_promotion_report` source table leverage utm parameters. Therefore, this package takes an opinionated approach to filter out any records that do not contain utm parameters or leverage a url within the promoted pin.

If you would like to leverage a report that contains all promoted pins and their daily metrics, we would suggest you leverage the `pinterest_ads__ad_report` which does not apply any filtering.
If you would like to leverage a report that contains all promoted pins and their daily metrics, we would suggest you leverage the `pinterest_ads__ad_report` which does not apply any filtering.

## Why don't metrics add up across different grains (Ex. ad level vs campaign level)?
When aggregating metrics like clicks and spend across different grains, discrepancies can arise due to differences in how data is captured, grouped, or attributed at each grain. For example, certain actions or costs might be attributed differently at the ad, campaign, or ad group level, leading to inconsistencies when rolled up. Additionally, for example, at the keyword grain, where a keyword can belong to multiple ad groups, aggregations can lead to over counting. Conversely, some ads may only be represented at the ad group level, rather than individual ad levels, leading to under counting at the ad grain.

This is a reason why we have broken out the ad reporting packages into separate hierarchical end models (Ad, Ad Group, Campaign, and more). Because if we only used ad-level reports, we could be missing data.

#### Databricks Dispatch Configuration
If you are using a Databricks destination with this package you will need to add the below (or a variation of the below) dispatch configuration within your `dbt_project.yml`. This is required in order for the package to accurately search for macros within the `dbt-labs/spark_utils` then the `dbt-labs/dbt_utils` packages respectively.

```yml
dispatch:

#### Union multiple connectors
If you have multiple pinterest connectors in Fivetran and would like to use this package on all of them simultaneously, we have provided functionality to do so. The package will union all of the data together and pass the unioned table into the transformations. You will be able to see which source it came from in the `source_relation` column of each model. To use this functionality, you will need to set either the `pinterest_ads_union_schemas` OR `pinterest_ads_union_databases` variables (cannot do both) in your root `dbt_project.yml` file:
