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
Integrations steps
1. Add HilltopAds as a Traffic channel in RedTrack.
Go to your RedTrack account → Traffic channels → New from template → find HilltopAds → Add → Save the template:
2. Integrate HilltopAds with RedTrack.
In the added HilltopAds template go to the HillTopAds API integration section → add the HilltopAds API key → Save changes to the template:
3. Create a campaign in RedTrack with HilltopAds as your traffic channel.
Campaigns → Create new campaign → use this guide for Affiliates / this guide for Advertisers to help you add the campaign with HilltopAds as your traffic channel → once the Campaign is added, your tracking link is automatically created, copy Click URL (your tracking link):
– Universal script
– No-redirect
– Impressions
4. Set up the tracking on the HilltopAds side.
4.1 Go to Manage Campaigns → Add campaign:
4.2 Add your RedTrack campaign Click URL (copied in step 3) to the Final Destination URL field:
5. Set up the Postback URL in RedTrack.
In Campaign settings (created in step 3) scroll down to S2S Postback for HilltopAds → press Add → check if the value(s) for the needed parameter(s) are in place → 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.
