Postback Setup Algorithm
- Add Campaign in Dashboard.
2. Set the following parameter/macro in the Custom UTM Tracking Tags in Dashboard, and click on the “Save” button:
- aff_sub,2,3,4,5={click_id}
For example:
Important: the click_id you enter in the MGID Dashboard should be the same as the values registered in the Adsbridge system in which the final Postback link (Tracking ID) is entered.
Important: the aff_sub (Sub ID) you enter in the MGID Dashboard should be the same as the one in the Affiliate Program, in which the Postback link is entered.
3. Add 1 to 3 conversion stages to the Conversion sensors (Interest, Desire, Action).
It can be an existing or a new stage.
Please complete the following actions step-by-step:
- Click the “Add Step” button [1].
- Select the Postback tab [2].
- Fill in the event name [3] (any combination of A-Z characters and numbers).
- Set conversion value (optional) [4].
- Copy the Postback link on the MGID side [5].
- Save settings [6].
Here’s an example of what the link should look like:
- http://a.mgid.com/postback?c={aff_sub}&e=buy123456&r={payout}
4. Log in to your Gamesvid.com account.
5. Select the required offer in the “Offers” section.
6. In order to set up Postback, scroll down to the CONVERSION PIXELS/URLS section in the offer settings.
- Select the goal. To track the registrations choose “None&rdquo [1].
- Select the type of tracking – in this case, it is Postback URL [2].
- Enter the former Postback link [3].

4. Save the changes [4].5. Using this link you can check all the existing macros, used by Gamesvid.com [5].
7. After saving the changes the page will refresh. In order to set up the tracking link,
go to the GENERATE TRACKING section.
- Select the landing from the drop-down list [1].
- Copy the tracking link after saving the changes [2].
- If in step 2 (MGID ad campaign setup) the custom UTM Tracking Tags were left blank, in the Affiliate Sub ID add the {click_id} macro and click on the Update option [3].
This macro will be automatically added to the tracking link [2] (see the screenshot).
If you have already entered the {click_id} macro in the custom UTM Tracking Tags, don't add anything in the Affiliate Sub ID.
