MGID Dashboard Settings

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. You can select an existing goal here as well.

This field accepts only Latin letters and numbers; when filled in, it is automatically assigned as the "e" parameter.

Here, you can also indicate the conversion cost (optional).

 

Repeat these steps (i.e., add another goal) if you want to track more than one conversion goal. The system allows for tracking up to three conversion goals.

4. You can track unique and non-unique conversions using Postback.

Find the conversion counting button under the advanced settings dropdown. By default, it’s set up to track only unique conversions. 

However, some funnels require counting multiple conversions with the same click ID. An example of this is a standard funnel with a "purchase" conversion and an upsell action after the first purchase. In this case, the counting of non-unique conversions feature will be useful for accurate tracking. 

The conversion counting setting is available separately for each of the three conversion goals.

5. Choose the RedTrack template from the drop-down list.

The preconfigured template includes all mandatory data, including conversion steps and event names. It will automatically add a GET parameter for {click_id} macro to the tracking link,  real {click_id} and {revenue} macros to the postback URL.

Additionally, you can also set up the following fields to meet your specific needs:

• Add additional macro by clicking the plus button;
• Add any additional parameters to your tracking link. Custom tags will be included alongside system-defined macros when your campaigns go live;
• Add UTM tags to the link. 

Check the Tracking link preview field to see how the appended part of your tracking link will look with all macros and tags included.

6.  Scroll down to the Postback URLs section. Next to the goal name, click Get Postback URL and then copy the URL. Save the link on your device, as you will need it later.

7.  Save changes if editing, or publish the campaign if creating a new one.

Create a new offer

Follow these steps:

1. Click Offers and then click the "Create new offer" button.

2. Fill in the offer name and insert the offer URL link. It is also required to refer to a parameter in which the internal RedTrack clickid was transferred, e.g.,  http://yoursite.com?click_id={clickid}.

Create a new campaign

Create a new campaign in the ResTrack dashboard. 

1. Click Campaigns and then Create.

To add an additional link, click Add. Then, click Save.

5. Lastly, go to the Campaigns tab, copy the tracking link, and use it to create teasers on the MGID side.
