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 PopAds template to RedTrack.
Traffic channels → New from template → find PopAds → Add → Save the template:
2. Set up a campaign in RedTrack with the PopAds traffic channel.
Campaigns → Create new campaign → use this guide (for Affiliates)/ this guide (for Advertisers) to help you create the campaign with PopAds as your traffic channel → once the Campaign is added, your tracking link is automatically created, copy Click URL:
3. Set up the tracking on the PopAds side.
3.1 In your PopAds account, go to the New Campaign from Advertiser’s panel:
3.2 Fill out the necessary information regarding your desired traffic. Insert the Campaign URL to the URL field:
4. Set up the postback with PopAds.
4.1 Go to your newly created campaign → Conversion Tracking:
4.2 Copy the “aid” value from the Postback link:
5. Set up the postback URL in RedTrack.
Go to Campaign settings (created within step 2) → scroll down to S2S Postback for PopAds → Add → check if all the aid value and other possibly needed parameters 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.
