ClickFlare Tracker Integration in MGID Ads

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 it. We recommend adding the client’s ID to the goal name (e.g., test_even_123456). You can also select an existing goal.

We recommend creating a unique name; however, you can choose any name.

4. Add the ClickFlare parameter to the MGID click_id under the Tracking Tags section.

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

You will need to enter the Postback URL on the ClickFlare side. Follow the steps below.

The next step will be creating a traffic source on the  ClickFlare side. 

1. Log in to the ClickFlare account to create a new traffic source or choose an existing one from the list of traffic sources.
2. Click Traffic Sources and then click New.

3.  We recommend selecting the default MGID traffic source template. Type “mgid” in the search field and select the MGID template.

4. Fill in the Workspace, Name (MGID), and Cost currency fields. 

5. Paste the MGID postback URL that was generated in the MGID Ads Dashboard. 

Change the {click_id} and {revenue} macros to the ones ClickFlare uses: {external_id} and {payout}.

6. Save the traffic source with the relevant settings.

7. To create a campaign in the Destination tab, choose New Flow (1) and click on New Path (2).

8. Click Select Lander and choose the option Create new Lander.

9. Insert the landing page URL, then add the "?" sign after the URL. 

Next, add the click_id macro and parameter as shown below (you can replace the click_id parameter with the parameter name used in your system). 

10. Then, click Select Offer and choose the Create New Offer option.

11. Fill in the fields. If you are not using an affiliate network, enter your website URL and turn on the Append Click ID to Offer Url switcher. Save the settings in the modal window.

12. Save the settings in the side panel.

13. Complete the settings in the Tracking tab and save the campaign.

Next, you must obtain a URL for the future MGID ad creation.
