3. Set up a campaign in RedTrack with Adskeeper as a traffic channel.

4. Set up the tracking on the Adskeeper side.
4.1 To set up conversion tracking in Adskeeper, first, you need to start a new Campaign.
Go to Advertise → Add Campaign → choose the parameters in General and Targeting blocks → save the changes → navigate the Tracking Tags tab and make sure the slider is on.
Tick the Add custom tracking tag. Make sure to put click_id={click_id} here:
4.2 You already have a postback URL available in your RedTrack traffic channel settings. The only thing you will need to adjust is the event name.
Go to the Conversions Sensors tab and set the postback → choose the template for RedTrack → you will get the three postbacks generated automatically – for INTEREST, DESIRE, and ACTION → press OK to save the changes.
The postbacks will be added to your settings:
Copy the one you need (or all of them):
You can change the names of your events:
For a postback for a BUY type replace {revenue} with the {offer_payout}:
After you save the settings on the Adskeeper side, it will automatically suggest you create teasers for your new campaign:
Put the Click URL you have copied from your RedTrack campaign here:
5. Set up the postback URL in RedTrack.
Go to Campaign settings (created within step 3) → scroll down to S2S Postback for Adskeeper → press Add → make sure it contains the correct Adskeeper event name → 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.
