Integration
Important before you start
Before you proceed with the integration, make sure to have the already added:
- Custom tracking domain
- Offer source and Offer (if you’re an Affiliate)/ Brand and Website (if you’re an Advertiser)
- Conversion types you’re planning to work with
Integration steps
1. Add SelfAdvertiser template to RedTrack.
Traffic channels → New from template → find SelfAdvertiser → Add → save the template:
2. Set up a campaign in RedTrack with SelfAdvertiser as a traffic channel.
Campaigns → Create new campaign → use this guide (for Affiliates)/ this guide (for Advertisers) to help you create your campaign → once the Campaign is added, your tracking link is automatically created, copy Click URL:
– Universal script
– No-redirect
– Impressions
3. Set up the tracking on the SelfAdvertiser side.
3.1 In SelfAdvertiser account go to Campaigns → choose the campaign type → add your RedTrack campaign Click URL under the Destination URL:
3.2 Choose RedTrack under the Conversion Tracking section:
3.3 Copy the “ref” value here:
4. Set up a Postback URL in RedTrack.
Go to the Campaign created within step 2 → S2S Postback section → Add → make sure the “ref” value is replaced with the one you have copied from your SelfAdvertiser account → Save changes to the campaign:
▸ If you changed the Postback URL in the Traffic channel (added/removed some parameters to it), remember to manually update the link in Campaign settings as well, as it won’t be generated correctly automatically.
▸ Some Traffic channels require you to edit the Postback with specific parameters for each Campaign (e.g., the goal for Exoclick or ap_key for Go2Mobi). If the field remains blank or something like “REPLACE” is stated, that means you need to define the Postback conditions manually.
