Postback Tracking

Postback Tracking

A "postback" in the context of digital marketing and web development refers to the process where a server sends data back to another server (or itself) to inform it about a specific event or action that has occurred. Here are the different contexts in which "postback" is used:.

How Postback Conversion Works

1. User Clicks an Ad: When a user clicks on an ad, a click ID (a unique identifier) is generated and associated with that click. This click ID is tracked by the advertiser's system.

2. User Completes a Conversion Event: After clicking the ad, if the user completes a desired action (like making a purchase or installing an app), this event is tracked by the advertiser's system.

3. Server-to-Server Communication: The advertiser's server sends a postback to the affiliate network's or partner's server. This postback contains the click ID and information about the conversion event.

4. Attribution: The affiliate network or partner uses the click ID to match the conversion event with the original click, thus attributing the conversion to the correct source.

Multiple clients use different third-party platforms and the configuration changes for each of these. The most important thing when working with a tracking platform is to map the click ID token with the Adgebra conversion ID.

Implementation Steps for various third-party platforms with Adgebra

Appsflyer: If any client wants to integrate via Appsflyer just follow this step.

Steps :

- We are directly integrated with AppsFlyer so please search Partner: INUXUDMT

- Integrate with our partner id & generate a attribution link( LP).

- Get the attribution link (LP) from the client and you can add the same in the creative LP.

Note—If the client's platform is the existing one from the above, check if the value remains the same or needs to be changed and mapped accordingly.

Postback Implementation with direct client thank you page

Step 1: Generate conversion post-back URL from UI (same screen where conversion pixel can be generated)

Step 2: In Creative LP, add a token ${convId}

Step 3: On click of the ad, the token will get replaced with the actual conversion Id.

Example: https://landingpage.com/checkout?convId=1100_67472_2_0_0_2405:205:8383:2aab:8f62:57a7:27ff:527f_3_184

Step 4: On conversion, the client needs to call the post-back URL generated in step 3 with the actual conversion ID against the convId parameter sent on the landing page by Adgebra

Example: http://adgebra.co.in/clicktracker/Conversion?p2=order_Id&p3=product_Id&p4=cartvalue&p5=flag~custom_values&convId=100_67472_2_0_0_2405:205:8383:2aab:8f62:57a7:27ff:527f_3_1841

Postback Implementation with direct client thank you page

Step 1: Generate conversion post-back URL from UI (same screen where conversion pixel can be generated)

Step 2: In Creative LP, add a token ${convId} but it should be placed against s2 parameter. So, manually convert “convId=${convId}” to “s2=${convId}” in the landing page URL. In case of any confusion, talk to Cake support team.

Example : https://caketracker..com/redirect?s2=${convId}

Step 3: On click of ad, the token will get replaced with actual conversion ID in the cake tracker.

Example:https://caketracker.com/redirect?s2=100_67472_2_0_0_2405:205:8383:2aab:8f62:57a7:27ff:527f_3_1841

Step 4: On conversion, client needs to call the post-back URL of Cake and Cake should further give a call to adgebra’s postback URL with actual conversion ID generated in step 3.

Example:http://adgebra.co.in/clicktracker/Conversion?&p2=order_Id&p3=product_Id&p4=cartvalue&p5=flag~custom_values&convId=100_67472_2_0_0_2405:205:8383:2aab:8f62:57a7:27ff:527f_3_1841

Postback implementation with an intermediate platform: Hasoffers

Step 1: Generate conversion post-back URL from UI (same screen where conversion pixel can be generated)

Step 2: In Creative LP, add a token ${convId} but it should be placed against the “trans” parameter. So, manually convert “convId=${convId}” to “trans=${convId}” in the landing page URL. In case of any confusion, talk to Hasoffers support team.

Example: https://hastracker..com/redirect?trans=${convId}

Step 3: On click of ad, the token will get replaced with actual conversion ID in the Hasoffers tracker.

Example: https://hastracker.com/redirect?trans=100_67472_2_0_0_2405:205:8383:2aab:8f62:57a7:27ff:527f_3_1841

Step 4: On conversion, client needs to call the post-back URL of Hasoffers and Hasoffers should further give a call to adgebra’s postback URL with actual conversion ID generated in step 3.

Example:http://adgebra.co.in/clicktracker/Conversion?p2=order_Id&p3=product_Id&p4=cartvalue&p5=flag~custom_values&convId=100_67472_2_0_0_2405:205:8383:2aab:8f62:57a7:27ff:527f_3_1841

Note:

1. Conversion ID is in the form of a “string” (alphanumeric)

2. The token ${convId} needs to be implemented for all language LPs of all creatives.

3. In case of multiple hops in the redirection of the trackers to landing page URLs, the settings need to be done in the intermediate tools/platforms in such a way that the conversion ID generated from Adgebra gets forwarded till the ultimate landing page URL. Likewise, the same conversion ID should be passed to Adgebra’s postback URL.
