AdCombo.com Affiliate Network Integration in MGID Ads

The instruction below covers affiliate network integration. If you want a more comprehensive understanding of AdCombo and MGID integration, please follow this link here.

MGID Dashboard Settings

Start by creating an event and Postback URL in the MGID dashboard.

Follow these steps:

1. Create a new advertising campaign or edit an existing one by clicking on its respective icon in the dashboard.

2. Navigate to the Conversion tracking section and select the Postback option in the Tracking settings tab.

3. Add a new conversion goal and create a unique name for the goal. We recommend adding the client’s ID to the goal name (e.g., test_even_123456). In addition, you can select an existing goal.

AdCombo accepts only three types of conversion goal’s names:

hold
confirmed
reject

Repeat these steps (i.e., add another goal) if you want to track more than one conversion goal.

3. Create a Campaign by following these steps:

Proceed to the “URL Builder” tab (there will be a form with the fields Subaccount 1- 4). These parameters will be transferred after clicking on the teasers later on.
Fill in the Subaccount 1 field with the {click_id} parameter.
Choose the Landings/Prelandings displayed after clicking on your teaser link.
Click the Create Campaign button.

The link in the Tracking URL field will be updated automatically. That's the link you should use during the creation of new teasers.

Copy the link by clicking the icon "Copy link" to the right of the required link. The link won't remain after saving the offer; if you don't copy the link, you'll need to repeat the steps.

4. Insert the link in the teaser’s field in the MGID Dashboard.

5. Select the Postback/Pixel tab in AdCombo.

6. Add the Postback URL you configured on MGID Dashboard earlier with some edits:
https://a.mgid.com/postback/client_ID?c={subacc}&e=lead12345&r={revenue}

Where:

client_ID is a unique parameter for our system that is transferred to our system alongside the event's status.
c is a click ID’s macro. For Adcombo, replace the {click_id} with the {subacc} macro.
e=lead123456 - a Postback goal identifier that can be displayed as a {status} macro or status name.
r is an optional parameter to which conversion revenue can be transferred.

Then, scroll down and save the settings.

Please do not forget to turn off the "Global Postback" checkbox if you work with other networks.
