Firing 2 Postback URLs from Aff. Network (7)

---

Hey,

I want to fire to postback URLS/Server-to-server pixels from my affiliate network, one for Decsivie Ads tracking and one for CPVLAB. So far, I tried adding both postback URLs to some networks but only the CPVLAB one is firing. I asked CPVLAB support about this but they gave me an answer that didn't really make sense.

Im guessing this is for Cake network.
Add one postback as usual and than ask your AM to add the other postback as global.

edit:
Your Decisive postback goes in your CPV Lab as 3rd party pixel, not your aff network.

I still haven't tried it with cpv lab, but with Voluum it works for me.

Here are the details for cpv lab, there is an image attached too

Yeah the reason is that CPVLAB requires iframe pixel for you to use 3rd party pixel.

Yeah, I wasnt trying to use the Iframe pixel. This is from that help page:

*NOTE* If you choose to add third party pixels, you will need to use the iFrame version of the CPV Lab pixel and place it at your affiliate network(s) rather than the normal Image Pixel. Without the iFrame pixel, the 3rd party pixels will NOT fire.

You should be able to fire as many 3rd party postbacks as you want without depending on iframes.

If CPVLab doesn't support it natively it's pretty easy to hack up your own postback system that will fire CPVLab and Decsivie Ads and any other postback you want. If you want a quick and simple script the folioing will point you in the right direction. (unless you can't code at all)

You'll need to use $_GET['yoursubid'] to get sub ids and any other values you will need to pass on to the postback urls, then use:

file_get_contents('http://www.your_postback_url.com/'); This will fire the postback. You can also use CURL or guzzle, but that gets more complex.

P202 1.8.x can fire an unlimited number of 3rd party postbacks, you can beta it via our hosting partners, do not purchase from the 202 site. Right now hostwinds has it active but BeyondHosting should have it soon(hopefully this week) too.

One more thing, it's very likely that the url for the iframe pixel in CPVLab can be used as a post back with no issues. It won't/can't fire pixels but it will fire post backs, which is exactly what you need.

For postback URLs your typically pass all the click IDs you need (one from traffic source, one from tracking system) all the way to the network. You then postback to the tracking systems, e.g. CPVlab, which subsequently fires a postback to the traffic source. It's a game of separating click IDs into separate subid 'labels' so that the packages of info can traverse all the systems involved without getting mixed up.

I am not sure if CPVlab lets you fire postback URLs for the traffic source, as opposed to using image/javascript pixels for the traffic source - at which point you then need to use the CPVlab iFrame pixel at your network rather than the postback URL.

It is relatively easy to set up a PHP script that fires multiple postback URLs so you can definitely make it work - you could have 5 different postback URLs firing for a conversion if you really wanted. Let me know if you can't solve the issue and would like some more help sorting it out!

Edit: got ninja'd
