MGID Ads 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.

4.  Click Get Postback URL and then copy the URL. Save the link on your device, as you will need it later.

5. Add the parameter click_id={click_id} to the Tracking Tags section.

The next step will be creating a traffic source, affiliate network, campaign, and offer on the AdsBridge.com  side. 

Follow these steps:

1.  Log in to your AdsBridge.com account to create a new traffic source.

2. Click the Traffic sources, search “MGID,” then click the Submit button.

3. Then, you have to set the name of the traffic source and fill in the Postback URL (which was copied while creating Postback goals in the MGID dashboard) with a correct macro.

Here’s an example of what the link should look like:

https://a.mgid.com/postback/client_ID?c=<tracking_id>&e=test_event&r=<payout>

Where:

• client_ID is a unique parameter for our system that will be transferred to our system alongside the event's status. 

• c - click ID’s macro. For AdsBridge, replace the {click_id} with the <tracking_id> macro.
• e=test_event -  a Postback goal identifier that can be displayed in the form of a <status> macro or status name.
• r -  is an optional parameter to which conversion revenue can be transferred. For AdsBridge, replace the {revenue} with the <payout> macro.

4. Navigate to the "Affiliate networks" section and click on "Create affiliate network". Choose the name of the affiliate network and save the settings.

5. Navigate to the "Offers" section and click on “Create offer”. Now, you should fill out the following form. These fields are crucial for Postback:

• URL: is the link to your site/offer/landing 
• Affiliate network: is the network you created in the previous step
• Tracking token: is tid

6. Navigate to Campaigns, create a campaign, and fill in the campaign name.

Choose the traffic source created (instructions in the previous paragraphs), then click "Save" and "Next."

7. Set up the campaign and connect the offer. Click the Add Offer button, and then select the offer added before.
