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
Integration steps
1. Add Adnium as a Traffic channel in RedTrack.
Go to your RedTrack account → Traffic channels → New from template → find Adnium → Add → Save the template:
2. Integrate Adnium with RedTrack.
2.1 In your Adnium account go to Advertisers → Conversions → copy the API Key:
2.2 Get back to RedTrack → in the added Adnium template go to the Adnium API integration section → add the Adnium API key → Save changes to the template:
3. Create a campaign in RedTrack with Adnium as your traffic channel.
Campaigns → Create new campaign → use this guide for Affiliates / this guide for Advertisers to help you add the campaign with Adnium as your traffic channel → once the Campaign is added, your tracking link is automatically created, copy Click URL (your tracking link):
4. Set up the tracking on the Adnium side.
4.1 Go to Advertisers → New Campaign:
4.2 Add your RedTrack tracking URL (from step 3) to the banner:
5. Set up the Postback URL in RedTrack.
In Campaign settings (created in step 3) scroll down to S2S Postback for Adnium → press Add → replace the API key value for the token parameter and check if any other 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.
