Tracker preconfiguration
For intermediate redirects, configure your tracker first.
Consider that the exact flow of the tracker’s setup will depend on the tracker. Follow the link for an example postback configuration based on the Affise tracker setup .
The custom tracker could have a new campaign with a unique link to it. The campaign could have an appropriate click URL.
Click URL example:
The click URL must have a related offer URL, copied from the PA Links page .
Offer URL example:
Some trackers support postback URL template auto-generation. These should be copied to the PA postback configuration using the appropriate event type.
Tokens
Tokens pass dynamic information inside a postback URL. They are described by parameters as each entity (a traffic source or an affiliate network for example) uses specific tokens. Supported tokens are usually displayed when you are building a redirection link inside your marketing network. You can use parameters from your offer link (e.g. utm, cid, clickid).
Example
Offer link:
https://www.offer_link.com?clickid=4578445344&utm_source=facebookFrom this link, the parameters utm_source and clickid can be used as tokens in a Postback URL.
Postback URL with tokens:
https://www.postback_link.com?clickid={clickid}&source={utm_source}
Supported tokens are only limited by the marketing network or tracking platform you are using.
