Can you provide any images of the error? And are you trying to direct link, or do you have a lander in between?

Probably the domain(s) after the redirect are flagged.

Hey yes the same issue is with me as well. Only direct adv link or landing page link allowed I think.

I would suggest using ONLY your own domain names. Most affiliate networks allow either parking your domain or using your own (with API integration).
What I usually do is I host the landing page on my side under my own domain name, set up passing the info on the customers through API, and FB moderation rarely has any problems with that.

First ask your AM if they even support something like this. Tell them you want to bypass their tracking domains by using your own in order to stay away from possible network-wide flags.

^ I don't think he wants to do that. I think he's looking to enter his tracking link on the traffic source in a way that gets his ads approved which does not have anything to do with the network, rather bypassing the auto facebook disapprovals

We are still seeing ads with goo.gl, bit.ly and amzn.to - These are not getting blocked.

Hm, but what if the FB auto "checker" follows the link and checks the whole redirect chain ... in case the networks tracking domain is flagged, it won't pass the auto disapproval.

yep exactly won't pass it thus you put on some basic tracker rules eg whatever comes out of say, Norway, you redirect to a WH authority domain. If you don't know the offer and where FB bots will be visiting you from then you should be using a cloaker or disconnect all aff offers before an ad is live with impressions. But if you know the offer and the geo then you know for instance that they will be visiting you from the US and the Philippines and Ireland and usually from one or two block-IP sets within your country. Setting up simple tracker rules takes care of everything then and gets your ads live nice and easy
