Configuring Voluum with hitpath

Hey guys,
Are there any tutorials available for configuring Voluum with hitpath?
I can find tutorials for CAKE and Has Offers, bit nothing for Hitpath,

Thanks!

I'm not familiar with hitpath and we don't have a guide for them I'm afraid, but based on a quick look at their webite, looks like it's a tracking platform used to run a network on ... so like cake and hasoffers, which you mentioned.

Basically, Voluum works the same with all tracking backends, the only thing you need to adjust are the placeholders/paramaters that you are gonna use to pass them some data.

The most imporatnt is the clickID, so you are able to track the actuall conversions...

So, ask them what parameter they want you to use to pass them the clicID... in cake it's s2 for example, so each of your offer links has to containt this in the link ... &s2={clicid}, for hasoffers its this aff_sub2, so the string to put in the offer link would be ... &aff_sub2={clickid} Ask them what kind of placeholder/parameter they are using and replace the s2 or aff_sub2 with it.

Same goes for the postback, so for example in CAKE, the postback looks like this www.voluumdomain.com/postback?cid=#s2# ... so ask your network whether you should use # or some other character around the clickid parameter or you can just place it as it is.

Let's say they will ask you to use X1 parameter to pass them the clickid and this sign $ around the parameter in the postback. So the offer urls would need to cotain this ...&X1={clickid} and the postback would look like this : www.voluumdomain.com/postback?cid=$X1$

Hope this helps a bit
