Has offers system + Voluum + Leadbolt

Hi guys ,

I'm aware that when I add new traffic source such as Decisive into Voluum, the postback URL is http://win.crwd.io/convert/{externalid} which is applicable for all campaigns in Decisive. However, when I tried to add Leadbolt as a traffic source using Voluum template , it came up saying that Leadbolt uses campaign specific postback URLs such as

http://ad.leadbolt.net/conv?track_id=REPLACE&clk_id={externalid}

Does this means that I have to constantly create new traffic sources in Voluum (Leadboltcamp1 ,leadboltcamp2 etc...) when i create new campaigns in Leadbolt ?


Another question : For this postback URL ,

http://ad.leadbolt.net/conv?track_id=REPLACE&clk_id={externalid}

Do i use curly brackets when given the track_id or not

Example : http://ad.leadbolt.net/conv?track_id={331912}&clk_id={externalid}


Thanks for answering in advance!

No, you wouldn't use curly brackets because the 331912 value is not a token - if it's not something you want Voluum to dynamically replace, it doesn't get curly brackets.

What you want is to have track_id={token} so that you don't have to override postback URLs for every campaign.

This is easy - just change it to http://ad.leadbolt.net/conv?track_id={var10}&clk_id={externalid}

Now, in your traffic source setup for Leadbolt in custom variable 10, put something like trackid | REPLACE | Track ID in the boxes.

Then, when you use this URL in your Leadbolt ads, make sure to change the REPLACE word to the appropriate track_id value for that campaign e.g. 331912

This way you will tell Voluum the correct track ID directly from the URL you use.
