Passing other things besides {externalid} in Voluum (4)

Passing other things besides {externalid} in Voluum

When passing conversions back to the traffic source it is possible to use an {externalid} parameter. My attempts to pass other things about the transaction back to the traffic source turn up empty (such as {country}.

Does anyone have experience passing other variables back to the traffic source?

Thanks.

I've never tried but you could post back to a PHP script on your own server that logs values to a CSV file and just dump every single token into the postback URL.

If some tokens don't parse to the recorded values I presume it's a bug.

Voluum has a limited set of tokens for postbacks to traffic sources. It's {externalid}, {payout}, {var1} to {var10}, and {var:variable name}.

You could try maybe using {var:country} (and defining it appropriately in the traffic source settings in Voluum) instead of {country}?

If you want to pass what Voluum detects as the country, though - via its own geoIP detection, rather than just the country information passed to it by the traffic source in the first place - then I'm not sure if there's a way to do that.

Ahh, yes it would make sense that if it's not in the token list in the postback section, then it's not available.
